I picked up Asiata with issues with AP.

Looking at his stats 39 rushing, 48 yards recieving with a rec TD. I feel like that was a performance that was determined by that TD catch.

Good move and start him or sit him againts NO defense this week?

What are your other options?

Bradshaw still available? I agree with your analysis of Asiata. Boom or Bust. No real workhorse yardage.

He is not, unfortunetly. Someone swiped him before I could. He was my first option. I have strong WRs, I drafted well there. I did very poorly at RB.

We use ESPN, the top few RBs available:
Lamar Miller (Q)
Bernard Pierce
Darren McFadden
Terrence West

Id bench him one more week... still to much uncertainty surrounding MIN in my opinion. He's bulkier, so he could turn into a redzone guy... If you could stash him for a week or two more, you could probably sell higher for a sleeper.

Any Minny player is somewhat risky.

They'll likely be running into a buzzsaw.

I have already picked up Asiata. We play with no restrictions on adds/drops. So I didn't see a risk.

I would play him. My bench is:
A Ellington (Ari)
C Patterson (Min)
B Sankey (Ten)
E Decker (NYJ)
K Benjamin (Car)

I'm still holding on to the hype of Sankey taking the starting gig, but that may not last much longer.

I thought the same thing. Patterson is another option, but man I feel NO is going to play well this week and shut MN down at home.

I drafted Peterson.

I also drafted

Bradshaw


Played Asiata last week, but still managed a win.

New Orleans is 26th against the run. Jags are 31st against the run. I feel like Asiata played well at the beginning of the game, but disappeared when the game went awry for the Vikes. I've slotted in Bradshaw for now.

Any thoughts?

Asiata v. Saints
Bradshaw v. Jags

Sit Asiata this week, he's got a tough match-up and they are going to have to throw to keep up.

I would play Patterson or Benjamin...slight lean towards Benjamin against Pittsburg...just have a feeling he's gonna go off this week.

I feel the same thing about Patterson. I sat him week one and he had a 99 yd rush.

I feel like if I sit him he would go off or if I play him he will get shut down. I guess that's how the game goes I suppose.

I have Lamar Miller, Asiata, and Ellington (against SF).

Right now I am playing Miller and Asiata...Good or Bad??

Miller, I would think, would be a great option with Moreno being out. If he is healthy. He practiced yesterday per reports.
