Bradshaw vs. Oakland, Richardson vs. Arizona. Non-PPR. I'm worried that Ballard will take away a lot of touches from Bradshaw.

I'm struggling making a decision on Bradshaw myself. I'm not worried about Ballard going forward because he sucks, but with Bradshaw missing all of camp and the preseason I'm definitely worried about it this week. They won't need him either with how terrible the Raiders are.

I'd roll with D-Rich here

I'm trying to decide between Bradshaw and Vereen in a PPR

I didn't see Richardson in the preseason. Did he look good?

You didn't see Bradshaw either lol, I'm starting Bradshaw I think he gets a TD or two and decent amount of rushing yards

I'm actually starting both Bradshaw and Vereen along with McCoy, Marshall, Julio, and Matty Ice. Auction league

It was hard to tell. He only had 9 carries and the Rams have said they intentionally kept their offense vanilla. I did see a good bit of him last year because I had S-Jax on my team. He looked pretty good then. He's a fast guy, big play ability and IIRC he actually had more yards after contact than Jackson last season.

This is from a rotoworld article where they charted every one of Richardson's touches last season:

quote:

Save arguably David Wilson, Daryl Richardson is the single most explosive second-year back I've reexamined for this series, superior in this area to Lamar Miller, Bryce Brown, Ronnie Hillman, and Bernard Pierce. He runs with urgency, high energy and suddenness, and displays outstanding first-step burst. Again, again, and again, Richardson's acceleration jumped off the screen. He has big-play speed both on inside runs and plays to the edge. Richardson consistently demonstrated natural explosion whenever his shoulder pads were pointed north-south or at a 45-degree angle. He routinely won footraces to the corner. Richardson runs with an incredible amount of juice.

What I found even more encouraging than Richardson's straight-ahead burst and speed was his toughness between the tackles. His sheer velocity on inside running plays was outstanding and extremely impressive for a back his size. Richardson never shied from contact and finished runs with authority. He kept his feet moving through traffic and consistently fell forward to max out plays.

Bradshaw actually had a full week of practice. Thats healthy enough for him. He'd miss a whole week with the Giants and still go on Sunday

Anyone hearing anything different in Gronk? He practice all week. CBS reporting he didn't make the trip with the team.

ESPN reported the same; he's listed as OUT this week.

Richardson. I think Bradshaw gets eased back.

I agree, mainly because they don't "need" him this week against the raiders.

I'd start some healthy colts tomorrow. They will put up 35 plus.

Bradshaw probably will get eased back, but Oakland is so bad that Bradshaw may get a close in TD, possibly two.

I would think Indy gets up quick over the terrible raiders and plays ball control in the second half. Cardinals defense is underrated.
