With Teddy out and Samantha Ponder playing QB I don't think their offense will be worth a shite and probably playing from behind all night.

I have Asiata in the flex right now but I can put in Floyd or Crabtree...

Stick with Asiata or play one of the other 2?

PPR? I think Ponder will help Asiata. He'll be looking to dump off. Playing from behind is good for a pass catching back also, which Asiata is. Should rack up garbage time receptions.

That said, I'd probably lean Crabtree.

If you were planning to start Asiata to begin with, who the quarterback was going to be really doesn't make a difference. He's still going to get the same amount of touches, still the better pass protector, the more trusted pass catching option, and the goal line back against a porous Green Bay defense.

With that said, I'd start either player over Asiata in the first place... assuming that's Michael and not Malcolm Floyd.

I'm still rolling with Asiata.

Yes.

My other option is Ahmad Bradshaw, who has had good numbers, but is not the focal point of the Colts rushing attack.

Rolling him out over FJax in my RB2. It's what I'm reduced to thanks to AP. What a waste.

I wouldn't call rich a focal point of anything. Bradshaw has 7 fewer yards on a 3rd of the snaps... A matter of time. I wouldn't start Bradshaw because he was in a walking boot, not because t-rich.

Asiata does okay for 1st quarter, then they get behind and stay behind. McK gets a lot of work tonight me thinks

If they get behind they will have to go pass heavy. McKinnon is not good at pass protection. Playing from behind hurt him IMO.

I agree... Against any other defense. GB will stack the box, and they'll need speed on the outside. I may be completely wrong, but I see McK being the one to break big gains on a quick dump off pass..

Why would GB stack the box with a large lead and with Minnesota operating a pass heavy offense?

I'm starting him in 2 separate leagues over Vereen, F Jax, Hill, and McKinnon. I am a believer at this point. I haven't let this board's overall negativity about the guy overshadow the production he has given me the last 3 weeks. I'm going to ride him until he gives me a reason not to.
