Drop Theo Riddick for any NYG RB? (1 Viewer)

[GoBirds]

Wanted to get some opinions, have Riddick to handcuff Abdullah but he's not a great handcuff given he kind of stays in the 3rd down back role I believe? Every Giants RB is on waivers would you take a shot an any of them instead as someone has to take the lead this season? I also have Sanu I could drop as a 4th WR I will never use. Thanks

Keep Riddick he has standalone value. I would drop Sanu and target Orleans Darkwa, as he is gonna get to take a shot here soon or Paul perkins because he may find room to run. Due to the pass opening up the lanes.

Keep Riddick. I would also keep Sanu. There is no way you should ever start a Giants RB-not until someone actually does something. There is a reason that all the Giants RB's are available in your league-they all suck and are not fantasy relevant.

Let's put this in perspective: Riddick has more points in both PPR and non-PPR scoring than Shane Vereen, the highest scoring Giants RB. The rest of the Giants' RBs combined have fewer points than either Riddick or Vereen. Secondly, in a game that had Manning throwing lots of quick, short routes, Vereen had his worst day as a PPR back. Do yourself a favor and stay away from the hot mess that is the Giants RBs. I know Riddick isn't going to set the world on fire, but he's got lots of flex/bye potential and low end RB2 potential if Abdullah goes down. He won't get all of Abdullah's carries, but he'd get enough of them to be relevant.

I'd keep Riddick.
