Jets statistically have the worst run D in the NFL after the Saints.
They are 25th in points given up to fantasy RBs
outside of Fosters big run last week he averaged 3.7 YPC on his other 28 carries.
Steelers- 28 carries 66 yards
Gore 20 carries 64 yards
Daniel thomas 19 carries 69 yards
CJ spiller did have a big week in week 1.
Ballard wont do a thing, imo.

Ballard is worth an add and possibly a start if you are in need.

The Jets just aren't good against the run this year, plus there's always the possibility of Ballard getting goal line carries.

He's not out of line factoring only the production of the RB1s against the Jets. You can assume that Mewelde Moore will get carries as well.
Especially since the Colts haven't handed the ball to a RB more than 18 times this season.

Yeah, I agree. I'm just saying this is a pretty good matchup for Ballard and he's a decent spot start for someone with RB troubles.

Conservative estimate.

So you're saying he's going to break the NFL rushing record? Because that's what everyone thinks he's going to. That's the pedestal we're placing him on.

Would you start him in the flex over Stevie J or VJax??

Ballard is averaging a robust 2 ypc.
The most carries and yards Brown has in a game is 18 and 84, for a 3.98 ypc for the year. 3 catches on the YEAR.
I know everyone wants to think they have the hot new thing, but let's be realistic.
He's my RB4 in a non flex keeper league. At worst, I can trade him to someone who needs a spot start in the playoffs and further solidify my keepers that include Lynch, Leshoure, Torrey, and Wright. Not expecting him to be a starter, but I do expect to get something worth while, which is a pretty good deal considering I got him out of FA.
