Will have to remember this when Addai is on the bench most of the game... thanks for the heads up!

Joseph Addai rushed seven times for 26 yards and caught three passes for 22 yards in his pro debut.The bad news: Dominic Rhodes had 19 touches and a score. The good news: Rhodes has less total yards with nine more chances. Addai didn't do anything special in this game, but Rhodes' struggles could make the split of carries more even in the future. - Rotoworld

I was thinking about Sorgi over Manning too.

For the rest of you, I'm not saying you should be starting Addai over other viable options. I'm just saying that if you are in a position where you have to start Rhodes or Addai, go with Addai.

Link to the last time a prediction like this actually came true?

Funny. But Addai's performance had little to do with a "big lead vs. Houston" (in fact the majority of his points came in the 1st quarter).

eta: This game was never a contest. Colts took a good look at Addai today all game.p.s. Addai passed Rhodes in touches in the fourth quarter.

Another guy that can't see the difference between FFB performance and NFL performance. Addai touched the ball a single time in the first quarter. It was a little dump pass 20 yards out that Addai turned into a TD. In the second Quarter he had a whopping 4 touches.
In the mean time Rhodes had 10 touches in the first half.
At the half the Colts were up 20-3 and then it was a heavy dose of Addai. Addai got 13 touches in the second half.
So, while 1 catch (his only touch in the 1st) turned into 8 points (TD and yards) the fact of the matter is that the OP's original assertion that once Indy got a good lead the Texans would see a heavy dose of Addai as the Colts would see this as a prime opportunity to see what the kid can do. And that's exactly what happened. The OP was exactly right. Paper Lions was right on with this prediction and if you want to look at a fluke TD on his only touch of the first quarter as evidence that Paper Lions is wrong then you need a new hobby. Good luck next week....
ETA that the majority of his points were not scored before they Colts had a lead. He got 8 points on the TD and he got the 80 yards in the second half. That's a split. Even if you go with PPR, 1 of the catches was in the 1st half and the other was in the second. Still a wash....

So Rhodes is the guy who, after he couldn't open up the pickle jar, said "I loosened it up for you!"

Just for the record:1st Quarter: 8 points
2nd Quarter: -2 points
3rd Quarter: 4 points
4th Quarter: 4 points
So yes, he did score the majority of his points in the 1st quarter. Also, while he did get 7 touches in the 4th quarter, he only turned them into 4 points AND he was yanked for both goal line opportunities (which were vultured by Rhodes and Carthon).
So, to call this a "4th quarter showcase" of Addai would be quite inaccurate.

One touch in the 1st vs. 7 in the 4th is your argument that he didn't get showcased when the game was out of hand?
Genius man, genius.....First, he had 5 touches in the first half when the game was close and 13 touches in the second half when the game was out of reach. That absolutely supports the OP's ascertion. It just happened a little earlier because the game was out of hand early in the second half.Second, please, PLEASE reread the point about NFL production and FFB production. The guy was only given a single touch in the first quarter. ONE!!! It wasn't like they gave the guy the ball on the one. They dumped off a pass at the 21. He made a TD out of it but it wasn't something that was expected.
If you are honestly saying that Addai didn't get showcased when the Colts had a good lead because he had 8 FFB points in the first points then I have some ocean front property in Nebraska I can give you a great deal on. The Latin term is Non Sequitor....

Was addai in when he was yanked at the goaline? Have to start one of them next week and even though addai has looked better then rhodes the goaline back should be the one to start.

Yes and no. He was in at the goal line in the first half. He scored but it was nullified by penalty. They gave it to him again and he fumbled. At the end of the game he was in on both drives to get them to the goal line but was pulled for Rhodes and then later Carthon (sp?). He may have to earn goal line carries back after fumbling. I dunno for nex week. Jax can be tough. NYJ in week 4 will be a different story....

The only thing I'd add to this is that Addai's carry where he fumbled was a great run, and really close to a TD. It was called a touchdown and overturned on review. The announcers were starting to praise the run (he scored on a second or third effort). I think the writing is somewhat on the wall here as long as you think Indy will go with one back eventually. Seems entirely possible that they might continue to rotate as long as both look good. Ignoring the stats, I thought both played a pretty good game to be honest. Though it's probably worth pointing out that Addai's fourth quarter yardage came when everyone knew they would run.
Overall, I agree with Fanatic that next week is a tough call and probably a coin flip. Maybe we'll get some idea out of Dungy before then...
