Injuries have hit and I'm looking at some unattractive options for this week at RB2.

12 team PPR league
Willis McGahee vs. Cincinnati
Ben Tate vs. Seattle
Isaiah Pead vs. 49ers

I'm oddly leaning toward Pead since the 49ers haven't looked good recently and Pead should get some catches.

Any help and insight would be appreciated.

Man this is rough. All tough matchups! I'd roll with pead. He should get the most touches.

There isn't much. Andre Ellington, Daniel Thomas, Kendall Hunter are the most notable ones I see. And my biggest strength (WR) isn't in that much demand with anyone who has decent RBs.

Any help? I don't want to have to flip a coin.

I think I'd go Pead. But I don't expect any to do very much

shite, if that's all you got, I'd go with McGahee. At least he's going to get the touches.

With Aldon Smith out and Patrick Willis possibly out, I think I'll go with Pead. FF Toolbox also has him projected at a little better than Tate in our league's settings.

Wish me luck. I think I'll need it.

Is Richardson starting? Or is he hurt? I don't have him in any of my leagues so I'm not up to date.

Daryl Richardson (foot) said he'll be "good to go" for Thursday night's Week 4 game against the 49ers.

Richardson played just two snaps in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys before spending the rest of the day on the sideline. He had his foot stepped on by George Selvie. "I'm good to go for Thursday," Richardson said. "It's a little [frustrating] but you have got to just keep praying and treating it because when it's time to go, you've got to be ready to go." Richardson will be nothing more than a flex option. Isaiah Pead and Benny Cunningham will also get reps.


Pead started getting snaps as soon as he came back from suspension so I think Pead will get approx 40-45% of the snaps with Richardson at 40-45% with Benny Cunningham getting the rest of them. But Pead seems to play a bigger roll on the passing downs so I hope he gets some catches to make him a viable start.

I don't know about Richardson since I'm betting he wants to play so he can keep his starting job.


Found this under Isaiah Pead's entry on fftoolbox's Start'em entry:
quote:

Despite the fact that Richardson claims he will be ready this week, he didn't practice on Monday. The Rams play on Thursday, so if you need help at running back, I would give Pead a look. He isn't a sexy pick, but he will definitely put up points as he is involved in the running and passing game
