start him if ya got him!

Tenn defense is 27th against the run and Donald Brown is out again. Vick hasn't really had a bad outing even since Brown came back he just needs to find the endzone more.

I have Cecil Shorts as my Flex, and Jamaal Charles and Matt Forte as my RBs. As much as I would like to start Ballard I don't think I could sit any of these guys...

Shorts hasn't been cleared. I'd start Ballard over Shorts now that Brown is out unless it was a PPR.

Non-PPR but if Shorts is cleared he has been putting up really good numbers. If he's cleared I think I'll roll with him but if he's out it's good to know I have a solid flex option in Ballard.

I don't know why I'm putting so much thought into this week, win or lose I've made the playoffs. I just don't like losing.

He is sitting on our waiver in my 10 team ppr league. It is a blind bid league so i can grab him for my playoff run. Im starting B Brown and CJ?K at 1 and 2 and have BJGE at my flec with DMC on my bench.
Is Ballard worth a grab over Green Ellis or DMC?

I would definitely say he's a better grab than DMC, but I don't know about BGE.

definitely over DMC no doubt. Green Ellis is playing well though.

I've had Ballard for a while now and have been starting him a lot and he has been playing well. especially when Brown was out.

Does anyone consider Ballard to be a better play than any of the following?

1 PPR, 1 point for 10 rushing/receiving, 6 pt TDs

Doug Martin - RB1
Bryce Brown - RB2
DeMarco Murray - Flex

Bench RBs - Darren McFadden, Reshad Jennings, and Vick Ballard

these are your starters for sure.

but Yes, Ballard is better than DMC right now. Jennings is hurt and even if he wasn't Ballard is waaaaay better.

Murray did shine by scoring this past week, but I'd consider starting Ballard simply bc Tenn's run defense is terrible and Ballard will get all the carries.
