There is no one I would trade Addai for (1 Viewer)

Got Addai at 1.10v(I was shocked and amazed!) Now, I wouldn't trade him for LT. He will be the most productive RB, consistent every week, so long as he does not get hurt. If you have Addai, you are that much closer to winning your league! trade anyone to get him.

maybe. not sure how many 2-3 td weeks we'll see from him. he'll be great for 100+ total yds and a TD nearly every week though. definately a top 3 candidate at this point.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves here. That is a very bold statement.1. He hasn't played the stoutest of Run Def's thus far.

2. We'll see how fresh he can stay, as he has never had to shoulder a full load.

IMHO, I'd rank LT #1, FWP and Addai @ a tie for #2.

 
I'm an Addai owner in a WCOFF PPR league and I'd rather have LT, Willie Parker and Bush going forward than Addai. Addai's production has been fine but he's got some issues.

1. In PPR leagues he's not really catching the amount of passes I envisioned or what the Colts seemed to talk about his off season or what he showed in the Super Bowl.

2. While he is getting over 80% of the carries some of the substitution patterns concern him. I've noticed the last few weeks they have removed him for Kieth on most snaps in the 2 minute offense. This is a great time to rack up receptions and long runs. I noticed last week the Colts had first and goal after a turnover at the 7 yard line and Addai never got in the game. Now in that case Keith did not get a carry so that stat about Addai getting over 80% of the carries is not even affected which is why it is a little misleading but I've got say I was not pleased not seeing Addai even get on the field on a first and goal from the 7 with the game still in doubt.

3. His injury risk scares me deeply. He already had the wind knocked out of him in the first two weeks causing him to spend an extended time on the sideline. Considering he's never shouldered the load for a full season is also concerning. I'm keeping my fingers crossed like I did last year with Gore but it concerns me.

:goodposting:You'd rather have LT, I can see that, though I don't agree. You'd rather have FWP, still don't agree but at least the argument can be made... but BUSH??? Are you kidding me? Have you been watching Fred Astaire out there? If I had Bush, and someone (like you) offered me Addai, I would do it in a heartbeat. I would PAY you to make that trade! Bush???!!!

I did reference this was in a PPR league and yes going forward I would rather have Bush than Addai in a PPR league.

1. I believe that for the time being he is staying in a passing plays to help Ugoh protect Manning's blind side. Ugoh has shown improvement every game and I think it is only a matter of time before they start pulling Addai out to receive.2. After this week's goaline jump and flip into the endzone, I don't think there is any questions who will be getting the ball in the redzone. He runs hard and does what he needs to to hit paydirt.3. Anyone can get the wind knocked out of them, that hit he took landed right in the breadbasket when he wasn't looking. Beyond that, he has taken some good shots and popped right back up. Anyone is an injury risk in football. Just have to wait and see.
 
I'm an Addai owner and I'm trying very hard to move him right now.
Why? I am not an Addai owner, but I cannot fathom a good reason to move him right now, aside from his lack of experience as a feature back, and if that is a concern to you, then I wonder why you drafted him in the first place? Looks like a near lock to be a top 5 RB to me if he stays healthy.
 
Westy down?

i love Addai by the way.. shark move though is to go get Keith. Keith costs pennies right now but if roster space allows... its like having Michael Turner.

 
I think even in PPR Addai's numbers will improve as they meet tougher defenses. There have been tons of checkdown opportunities but his receivers have been open and not needing to go to Addai.

Don't understand this at all, unless you are 0-3 or 1-2 and need quantity at other positions over quality. The main reason Addai didn't go even higher in the draft was the ? around the loss of Glenn. The team looks like they haven't missed a beat. As seen by this week, you just can't predict injuries. I traded for him this week, and am very happy about it. Especially that matchup against the Bronco run D at home this week!
 
Addai is #5 in my league behind Westy, MBIII, Lamont, and ADP.

I don't expect LT to be held down forever...

 
Manning is a stathog.

I can't imagine Addai going off like an LT or Westbrook could.

The checkdowns aren't there. He'll probably have 7+ catches vs. the Pats, but I don't expect that every week. Manning to Harrison has become like a handoff... it's ridiculous.

To me I see Addai as Rudi Johnson v. 2.0 inasmuchas he won't be laying any eggs this year.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm selling high on Addai. Now hopefully the LT owner will bite...

Well in that case, I would agree to move him.
