I give up Edelman, receive Ridley. THoughts?

What's your plan for when you get Ridley? Start him every week? Spot play him? Stash him in case he turns it on? This is exactly why I have always been low on Ridley - nothing is black and white in that backfield. Not telling you not to do it, just wondering your expectations. I'd do it as nothing more than a stash, assuming you think Amendola somehow stays on the field this year for any stretch.

Gives me another option in a weak RB core. Lacy is coming off a concussion and Jackson is still out. Edelman doesn't have a lot of value to me. He isn't good enough to trade straight up for a #2 RB (which I need), and he isn't good enough to start in my team.

If you've already sold yourself on it, then do it.

I'd say so... Isn't he still considered the starter?

Ridley (standard scoring, non PPR): 2.6, 4.0, 4.3, 7.9 points. 4.7 ppg.

Blount (same scoring): 1.5, 1.0, 6.5, 12.4 points. 5.35 ppg.

I'm trying to win, not be the best at depth charts.

I don't have high expectations of Ridley. I'm hoping I can buy low, get a good RB and then hope for some stability in that backfield once Gronk and Amendola return.

Like I said, Edelman is nothing but an occasional flex play when I have bad match ups. Him sitting on my bench wont win me shite. Neither will Ridley, but if he does happen to return to 2012 form, my lineup would look like:

Foster
Ridley
Lacy/Jackson/Powell/Boldin/Amendola
Welker
Bryant

Basically, is it worth taking a small risk on Ridley? Or should I give up more pieces for a guy like Murray or Bush?

First in my league if that means anything.
