Ball was on this thread after week 1 last year. He was a rookie and learned and caught on at the end of the season and this year he is the starting RB. If your not in a dynasty league or have a reserved bench spot available feel free to drop( although not sure what you expected?). Otherwise hold on and watch his snaps increase at the end of the year. Too much opportunity for someone that talented not to have use when ready. I have him in a dynasty and he is stashed for next year.
Yeah, even when he put together that solid year 2 years ago, there were 3 or 4 games that he just wasn't used in the game plan. Yudkin was on staff at the time, and he had the Patriots game plan down based on the defenses formation. There were certain formations that you could count on a 8-10 carry game and certain formations that you would get a 18-20 carry game.
I was hoping to see him at least step onto the field and take part in a live play. For redraft, unless your league is super deep tough to justify the roster spot
That's another thing about the Patriots too. From what I saw last year, they go into hurry up in the red zone. Unless there's a time out or penalty, they rarely swtich out running backs in the red zone. Heck, I remember them keeping Woodhead in at times two years ago.
So in redrafts he is not worth having, and if he is how long until he gets to WR#3 status? week 8ish?
Pats homer. Ridley is rosterable as a flex play. No way he should be cut.
MJD will be fine. Nobody expected him to do anything against the Jets with a rookie QB making his first start.
jets run d gave up the 3rd fewest rushing yards last yr and the fewest yards per carry by ..3 yards. thats pretty beastly. id hold.
Me too, but you know if we cut him he goes off for 100 yards and 2 TDs in week two.
Possibly. I'm a CJ Anderson owner but quite honestly Ball looked slow on my TV and CJ looked better. Hold for now.
charles and Kelce are the ones to hold on this team.
You do know it was almost 100 degrees on the field in Miami right?
Why not?
Pretty much this. No one in their right mind will start Pierce next week (even though they're playing Pittsburgh.) Carson Palmer was sitting on my ww so I already dropped Peirce. Why wait.
Yup. But I'm considering adding Quick as replacement. He's getting all the targets. He got 99 yds on 7 catches yesterday. Had another long one canceled by a bush call when he stiff armed a DB.
