Amukamara sat because of injuries: Giants coach Tom Coughlin previously said CB Prince Amukamara was fatigued at the end of Sunday's loss to the Packers. However, Amukamara told reporters Monday afternoon that he was sitting in the fourth quarter because he rolled his ankle and his surgically repaired foot was sore. The rookie says he still plans on practicing Wednesday in prep for Week 14 at Dallas. (Updated 12/05/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Amukamara made his long-awaited debut in Week 11 and had an interception. He also had three pass defenses and five tackles. Unfortunately, he has just three tackles (one solo) and no interceptions in his last two games. The Giants continue to be patient with the first-round pick as he gets into football shape. Amukamara is nothing more than a low-end Fantasy DB when healthy. (Updated 12/05/2011).
Prince Amukamara should earn a bigger role in 2012 after a quiet rookie season in 2011. He didn't see his first game action until Week 11, and he finished the year with just one interception and 14 total tackles. Those stats should increase with more playing time, but he has a long way to go before Fantasy owners can count on him. Amukamara should not be drafted in the majority of leagues, but if he starts out the season playing well then add him off the waiver wire. (Updated 4/24/12)
