Pats RBs vs Baltimore (1 Viewer)

[Whiplash Inc.]

It seems the Patriots' RB situation has sorted itself out and I'm just wondering how people think the Patriots ground game will do against the Ravens this week. Whether they'll try to run the ball a lot in order to keep the Ravens new and drastically improved offense off the field, or whether they'll come out throwing in a spread formation and not even attempt to get the ground game going against such a stellar run D.

Thoughts?

I don't think they'll run all that much unless they have an iron grip on the score, and even then not as much as you'd expect.

you'll obviously see some running, but I wouldn't be optimistic about fantasy production, and I think the numbers will slant more to the pass.

I am expecting Brady and Co. to pass the ball a lot out of the spread. Now that may lead to some nice draws or delayed handoffs, but agree with above post that the fantasy points out of the NE RBBC will be thin.

I heard on the radio today that the Baltimore defense hasn't allowed a 100 yd rusher in 38 straight games. Safe to say that it will be 39 after tomorrow with the Pats running game. I'd stay away from all Pats RB's.

Taylor the bruiser between the tackles, one of the other 3 depending on the match up.

That's not how it is. Taylor only got so many carries last week because Maroney got hurt after 4 carries and missed most of the game. This is still a textbook RBBC. And I wouldn't even think about playing any of them this week unless I was desperate with bye or injury issues.
