Adrian has left one of of my teams with questions.

Vereen
Ridley
Ivory
CJK
Bradshaw
West

I was thinking Ridley, as the Pats should be playing with the lead, and that might suggest Ridley's hammer.
I was thinking Bradshaw, as Trent's best game as a Colt (90 total yards and two fumbles), suggests Ahmad rips up the Jags.
I was thinking West, as it's calling for rain and could be a sloppy one, but Ravens still tough vs run.

Vereen I love, but I'm trying to play the hoodie.
Johnson and Ivory have a wonderful matchup vs the Bears, probably should be starting both.... but one of them has to be ahead of West, right?

I would go west, Bradshaw and probably Johnson


West and Bradshaw though are definites for me because they are more likely to get 20 touches than the others. I would go Ridley, but hoodie always ruins it for fantasy owners. So I think James white is the play in New England.
The jets love to run, so you know they will do that. The question is who will be better ivory or Johnson. Ivory has been better but Johnson has been getting more carries.

Bradshaw is a definite.
West because it looks like he appears to be the #1 option in Cleveland w/o Tate.
Ivory because he has double the yards on same amount of carries as CJ2k and 2 TD's on the year, while CJ2K has no TD's.

I don't always agree with Milk but I like his choices here- West, Bradshaw and CJ. I would avoid the Hoodie mess and who he will play if you can. Since he played Ridley so much last week, he is probably going back to Vereen...or maybe not...see what I mean!!!

Not many people agree with me. But when they do they buy me a dos Equis

The only Patriot RB I would ever start is Vereen, because he's not quite a RB. With any other RB under the Hoodie you're essentially starting a WR3 - might be great, might not see the ball at all.

I would always start Bradshaw when healthy.

I would be happy starting West with Tate out - until Cromwell starts causing trouble.

Probably I'd go Bradshaw, West and Vereen. Just because the Jets are a circus doesn't mean they don't keep it close. (That way I wouldn't have to sweat Ivory/CJ1K.)

Unless you want two backs in the Pats/Jets game, you're kinda stuck with Bradshaw and West.

I don't want two backs in the Pats/Jets game.

Bears did well against Gore/Hyde. They stacked the line and forced Kaps to throw. They may have the same game plan vs the Jets? That said, there seems to be a play or two where someone blows an assignment. (See Hixon in game 1.) I like Ivory. Besides, I think CJ is nursing an ankle injury.

And the Bears losing Tillman hurts them...

Bradshaw looks like a given. Aside from Wil's thoughts on the four Pats/Jets, I'm starting to see no reason to start West. Ravens held L Bell and Giovani in check did they not? Now a rainy day in Cleveland?

Gonna need more....

This one is easy. My luck has been so bad this season, that you should bench anyone I am playing and start anyone I play against.

I am playing Vereen and West, and playing against Ivory, CJ1K and Ridley (all different leagues). Clearly, the guys my opponents are starting will do better.

It's debatable. Tillman is definitely a leader on the D, but not statistically. Consensus in Chicago is that rookie Kyle Fuller filled in nicely for Peanut, getting 2 picks.

I have to decide between Donald Brown and Vereen. My gut says Vereen, my head says Brown. I think I'm gonna go with my head.

consensus on Bradshaw, so that leaves 2 spots and 5 guys. I'd take your best guess from NWE, probably Ridley like you said since OAK stinks. Since playing at home, and running behind a good line, I'd go West.

Bradshaw
Ridley
West

COLINCOBY - I'd go with Brown over Vereen. Brown is gonna get touches no matter what's going on in the game plan. Can't say the same for Vereen right now.

Im taking a chance a going against the Hoodie...

if Ridley hangs on to the ball he should run up theyards in the 2nd half and im going 2 scores...

Bradshaw if he stays healthy will have a great year...

West appears to be the real deal...though it may be tough sledding this week. im still in

thus
i say

Ridley
Bradshaw
West
