I'm in the middle of the pack in my league since Sproles and MJD's injuries have cost me, but I still have a healthy Alfred Morris and a basically irrelevant Jonathan Stewart.

The only interesting names on the wire are a group of backs that either split time or have been injured themselves. Which one is the best to stash for the playoffs?

Jacquizz Rodgers, Chris Ivory, Andre Brown, Donald Brown, Jonathan Dwyer, Marcel Reese

I'm leaning on picking up Rodgers (vs. Cardinals) if Sproles can't go this weekend or Andre Brown for the stretch run since Bradshaw can't stay healthy.

Ivory

Brown is a starter out of group
Reece has value in PPR with DMac out
Brown has performed when given opportunity
Rodgers won't get goal line carries with Turner
Dwyer is in a clusterfrick of a backfield

I'm leaning Ivory too. Is it worth dropping Isaac Redman? I can't imagine him getting many carries with Mendenhall back soon and Dwyer looking strong.

If Mendy comes back (and stays healthy) I would avoid Dwyer/Redman at all cost even with him out there doesn't appear to be a set rotation. Dwyer was hot hand in first half and Redman got early carries of second half

Pick up Andre Brown right now.

Andre Brown would be my first pick. He is a TD machine and is slowly stealing more carries from Bradshaw.

Bradshaw had x-rays done after Sunday's game. Brown is the obvious choice.
