Rhodes and Addai flip-flop in recent top 200 (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter top dog
- Start date
J/K. I think Bush's talent keeps him high. Addai needs to go to camp to learn the complex Colts offense. Rhodes is a servicable back ad Duece is coming back from the ole ACL "needs a full year before he can have an impact again" injury.

I would agree with this. If you're gonna bump Addai down, you have to bump ALL rookies with a looming sit-out as well. Not a ton, since we still have plenty of time before the regular season, but some. But if a rookie sits out of camp or part of camp, it will likely affect them some. Only a few have been able to come roaring out of the gates after sitting out (like LT).Makes McAllister look a wee bit more appetizing IMO...
What kind of track record do hold-out rookies have their first seasons, in fantasy terms? Off the top of my head I can think of:
Cedrick Benson- missed the opportunity to compete for the starting job, got hurt, non factor in fantasy
Ronnie Brown- missed 3 weeks of camp. Started slow which opened the door for a RBBC. ended RB23. Banged up late in season.

A valid point your making, but two different situations IMHO.
Bush is known (and I am not sure if I 100% agree) as a once in a decade talent at RB.
Addai was 4th-5th on everyone's board and was taken as early as he was because of a need (not he would have lasted that much longer, but I hope you get my point).
Bush is expected to go to NO and save the franchise.
Addai's expectations are to go to Indi learn the system, put up some yards, and not get the franchise killed (not in that order).
