Anyone have confidence in him this week? I have him going over Mason and Steven Jackson. Not losing sleep about starting him over Jackson, but I know Mason will tote the ball 20 times. I wouldn't have a problem with Blount if I KNEW he would get the ball but he could just as easily get 3 carries. Should I just suck it up and plug in Mason against a good Cardinals Defense?

FWIW, I saw an article on yahoo fantasy saying Blount will be toting the rock this week instead of Vereen. He should see the majority of the carries this week.

I'm starting him over mason cause I always get burnt on Thursday games. I have a feeling Blount will vulture several td's. Bellechik used him a lot in December last year

I did not see that article. That's refreshing. But we all know how Belichick can be. I guess I'll sit tight with Blount.

And I'm with you on getting burned on Thursday night games. I had Marshall last week and he was sent to the hospital. I have to play Donte Moncrief this week in his spot

Vereen hasnt "toted the rock" all damn year.

He is a PPR guy out of the backfield and will depend on game flow. Hopefully Vereen will have a big week

I think Blount is Belichick's guy and as long as Blount keeps running like a bull, I don't think that will change.

vs DET - 12 of 20 RB carries

First game back with NE. Belichick went pass heavy against the Lions tough run defense - Brady threw it 53 times.

at GB - 10 of 17 RB carries

GB dominated time of possession and NE didn't run much as they fell behind early.

at SD - 20 of 23 RB carries

Nothing not to like here from a carries standpoint. Another case of NE falling behind (14-3) and going pass heavy for a while - 44 pass attempts by Brady.

Miami has given up huge yardage on the ground to running backs the past three weeks: 200 at Denver, 173 at the Jets and 156 this past week at home against the Ravens. I don't see why Belichick would think he has to put together a pass heavy gameplan for this Sunday against the Dolphins.

Has Murray been getting the ball regularly. If I remember correctly, a few weeks ago he scored two touchdowns but only had like 4 carries. I haven't kept up with him since.

I'm rolling with Blount over Mason. I think I've made up my mind. This means you should start Mason because he will inevitably go off right before my eyes.

He had a concussion. After he was cleared he had 23 carries last week against SF. DMAC had only 3 carries.

I would roll with him then. Even though the Raiders aren't playing for anything other than spoiler, Murray probably still has something to prove. If he's getting the carries, go with him.

Again, I'm going with Blount over Mason. Arizona's defense is stout and Mason hasn't necessarily been killing it outside of that monster game.
