Vick Ballard

This guy was a bruiser at State in college. Do you think he is worth picking up and starting instead of CJ2K? All my other backs are on a bye. Ballard has a good matchup this week so I'm thinking he may surprise some people. Any thoughts?

He may get you 50+ yards and a touchdown.... doubt he goes off way Andre Brown did though

I have to roll with Ballard. I am incredibly thin at RB.

Ballard could potentially be my flex. It would be either him or Lloyd, Austin or S Johnson in the flex.

I am actually starting him over CJ bc I am pretty sure he will get less than 40 yds against Pitt.

Would anyone start Ballard @ NYJ over Bradshaw @ SF?
Or am I over thinking it?

I never understand why anyone would start a known commodity over a guy who is unknown.
Unless you absolutely have to start Ballard (if your team is that shitty, you are probably fricked anyway) I'd start a guy like Bradshaw or CJ2k over him. Let Ballard play a week if you can afford to.

<------------ This Guy
Starting Ballard because Forte is on bye and Benson got hurt, so for this week I'm desperate for a RB. He could end up doing well though, so at least I have a little hope.

May start him over fred jackson. Jets run d sucks and he could be a home run this weekend.

If he could not start over Donald fricking Brown, then why he would be good?

I doubt he will breakout this game, but he has a really good matchup this week.
50 yds and a TD wouldn't shock me

I would be thrilled with 50 yards and a TD. I need him to do well enough to get another start. Then my RBs are finished with their byes.

This is more than I honestly expect out of him. I'm thinking he may get 60-70yds and probably no TD. But it would be amazing if he could get a TD then I might actually have a shot this week despite all of my players on bye.

I hope he falls on his face, because I just snagged Brown out of FA.

Ballard is averaging a robust 2 ypc.
The most carries and yards Brown has in a game is 18 and 84, for a 3.98 ypc for the year. 3 catches on the YEAR.
I know everyone wants to think they have the hot new thing, but let's be realistic.

not a good matchup for them. they play the Jets, right?
they have a good run D. Despite arian foster running on them. Outside of a 46yard run he was shut down fairly well.
the Colts are the kind of team they will shut down on the ground.

NYJ just lost their starting NT.

You're not being realistic. You can't judge a running back off of a carry here and a carry there. He may not be the new best thing, but he could be.

Jets statistically have the worst run D in the NFL after the Saints.
They are 25th in points given up to fantasy RBs.

I have Alex Green too but I'm not 100% convinced he won't split carries with Starks this week.
