This is totally situation dependent for me. If I need help at RB now due to byes/injuries I am taking Torain, if I am Ok for the next 2-3 weeks at least I am going with Ridley.

but if torain keeps up this performance hes probowl bound

I'm going with Torain for the simple reason that I don't want to deal with Belichick's bull****.

this is how im feelingbut torain looks super sexy goin up against the philly defense after their week5 bye Eagles defense is allowing 4.9 yards per rush after four weeks. The only Eagles defense to allow a worse yards per carry average was the 1944 Eagles. - The Eagles 'Dream Team' pass defense has allowed 10 passing TDs in four games... the worst since 1989 when the Eagles allowed 12 through four games.

This is a tough one, but I would gamble with Torain before Ridley. Better chance of getting 15+ carries a game and Shananhan likes him.
As someone else mentioned, Torain can help you now, especially in the bye weeks. With Grossman making a lot of mistakes along with WAS D being pretty decent, I see WAS running the ball a lot, maybe 30 times a game. So Torain can get a good chunk of carries even with Hightower and Helu in the mix. Same can't be said with NE, since they won't run the ball even close to 30 times a game. BJGE isn't going anywhere and I see Ridley and BJGE splitting the carries with BJGE getting the goalline love.

Both appear to be gambles as we're dealing with two of the worst coaches when it comes to FF running backs; they could both easily end up as flavors of the week.
That being said, I will take a gamble on both with preference to Torain as Hightower appears to be in the doghouse but still expecting RBBC. Ridley, I assume will split carries with BJGE with goalline duties to BJGE.
Blind WW bids
Ridley - $16
Torain - $21
