Time to get rid of Joe Addai? (1 Viewer)

Out of curiosity, who are the top RBs right now? I ask because many of the ones who were thought of as being top RBs six weeks are either hurt or not performing well. So, trading for any of them is extremely risky (and foolish), and trading for ones who have been surprisingly great probably is not going to happen, unless you knock someone over with a trade offer.

Let's not go overboard. Addai is still a little banged up. I'm not going to judge from one game. Besides, who would you trade him for? How many "main guys" who always get the ball are there left?

After a missed game, a bye, and a game where they were being cautious with the injury? I think I would hold off.

I think they're easing Addai back. Look for a gradually increased workload but also be aware that Indy's coaching staff realizes that it is best for the team to use KK as much as possible to minimize wear and tear on Addai.

I hope so, but keith has looked good pretty much every time hes touched the ball.

I have both of them so I don't really have a bias towards either guy, but Addai looked much better than Keith tonight.

Such as who?Seriously. Who would you trade him for and who would be willing to trade what for him?Mods. Please kick this guy in the nuts for impersonating a football fan.

I have both as well and if it is a RBBC then I am starting Keith as my flex from now on. 20 touches a game for Addai good for 100 total yrds and 1 TD. 15 touches a game for Keith for 70 total yrds and a TD. Fine by me. I now have a #1 and #2 RB in a high powered offense.

People's eyes are deceiving. Addai is clearly a much better RB than Keith. Most of Keith's runs were short. He only averaged 3.7 YPC, compared to nearly 5YPC by Addai. He also dropped some balls, and whiffed on a block.
Nice personal attack.
As far as who would you trade him for, in the past week alone I've been offered Willie Parker as well as Reggie Bush.

I never said he looked better than addai, but I didnt see keith do anything bad to be losing any playing time. Addai still got his 20 touches so I'll stop complaining.

Sounds about right. Anyone with any doubts should look at last year's combination.

Did anyone besides me see Addai favoring his shoulder and taking himself out of that game several times? My concern is less about RBBC and more about Addai's health going forward. It looked like he missed out on several carries by waiving in Keith.
We knew going into the season that the Colts would like a complimentary back--it just didn't look like they had one until Keith emerged. I think if Addai is healthy he carries the rock with Keith spelling him and coming in for garbage time. Even with the split carries tonight, Addai could/should have had 1-2 TDs to go with his 100+ combined yards.

I'm not really arguing with your overall point (Keith has looked pretty good), but I definitely remember two dropped passes.

I don't think tonight's game is a good indicator of the Colts RB tandem for the rest of the season. I suspect Addai will get a larger share of the carries as he gets closer to full health. The biggest question to me is WILL he get back to full health. To me, a dinged Addai is the only way we see true RBBC. That's a possibility, but it's not the same as suggesting Kenton Keith has played his way into a RBBC.

I haven't heard someone call him "Dookie" or "Davenpoop" in a long time..

I would Trade u CP for him
I don't own Addai, but I definitely noticed this last night. On three or four occasions, Addai took himself out the game after touching the ball just once. It seems pretty clear that he's not 100%, so it is reasonable to expect that Keith will continue to get a good bit of work until Addai gets healthier. That said, if the game had been closer, I'd expect the Colts would have wanted Addai to tough it out and take most of the carries.

I don't know, as an Addai and Keith owner, it still sucks. But did anyone else feel like Addai was still banged up, or got banged up during the game? At one time, when they came back from commercial, it looked like Addai was running back to the sidelines with a trainer. Couldn't tell for sure, but it looked like he just came from the locker room. I'm seeing a 60/40 split from here on out, and it pisses me off. Lost by 1.5 pts last night because of it.

Its really funny reading the denials from Addai owners that Keith is a nonfactor and hes still the man.

I own both and while I wouldn't wish an injury on anybody, it wouldn't break my heart if one of them happened to get "turf toe" or something similar.That being said, I'm not too worried about Addai. Like others have said if he was 100% or the game was on the line I think he would've gotten a majority of the carries. But if this keeps up, I may just have to start both of them.
swirvenirvin
Footballguy
Not me no denial here, I think it will be 60/40 at best.\Keith will get all the garbage time in the 4th when Indy is leading also.
Sabertooth
Footballguy
I am holding onto him. I traded a boatload away to get him and I haven't gotten great results yet. I think the pie is plenty big in Indy and Addai will get the Lion's share even if that is only like a 60-40 split. The Colts had the game in hand, Addai got jostled pretty good once that I saw and instantly came out of the game. He'll be back...and he'll be a top 10 back here on out.

I'm starting to wonder the same thing.At the expense of making this an AC issue, what are other owners of both Addai and Keith thinking?If it's a TD heavy league, is Keith the guy to start, and if it's yardage heavy, Addai?

I don't think that's an AC question as a general issue. I think it's an overreaction to start Keith over Addai in any format based on just last night. I also wouldn't want to rely on Keith as a starting fantasy RB in any league right now. Flex spot, perhaps. Bye week fill in, sure. Now if Addai continues to struggle with the shoulder and take himself out of games, this could all change.I'm starting to wonder the same thing.At the expense of making this an AC issue, what are other owners of both Addai and Keith thinking?If it's a TD heavy league, is Keith the guy to start, and if it's yardage heavy, Addai?

I agree with most that Addai's value has just takem a serious hit, however I would not trade him. Kieth has earned a role in the Indy offense, regardles of how healthy Addai is or will be. I still think he is a top 10 RB on the season and market wise his value is too low tight now.
Patience and understanding.

On a side note, as an owner of both Addai and Keith...I just offered a trade this morning.
J.Addai
C.Taylor
J.Garcia

W.Parker
F.Taylor
M.Bulger
The QB is irrelevant to me...Brees is my starter (for better or worse), and the guy I'm trading with needs a QB. I know there is no info on MJD's injury yet, but it didn't look good the way he limped to the locker room with his pant leg pulled up above his knee.

Agreed - that would work. The only concern is in TD-heavy leagues where you can, or only want to, start one in case Keith is the short-yardage guy.Starting both for week 8. 20 carries for Addai good for 100 overall yrds and 1 TD. 15 carries for Keith for 70 yrds and a TD.

Could Kenton Keith be a better play than Addai this week vs Carolina?
Assuming Addai is slightly banged up, they should beat Carolina pretty soundly, and the week after, they play New England, which is probably a more important game (since NE is in their division).
They might want to "save" Addai for the big game like they did for Jacksonville if his shoulder is still bothering him.

I picked Keith up the week before Indy's bye. I couldn't believe he was sitting there on waivers all year, and a couple people passed because they needed active players for that week.
Now I will just sit back and hope that it remains a committee.
Someone on here had said that Addai has never carried the full load by himself even going back to his HS days. They also had said there were always some injury concerns. So thanks to however said that, because now I feel like a Shark.

Was thinking along the same lines. Indy could abuse CAR, and saving Addai some hits so he'll be ready for NE. All bets are off if CAR somehow gets up on them, but as a non-Addai owner, I'm giving serious consideration to Keith as a flex or even a start ahead of Rudi/Watson vs PIT. Not to mention coverage for LJ in another league, since I'm not likely to get Chatman.As for the rest of the season, nothing to do but wait and see how it plays out, but I don't see this hurting Addai badly season-wise.

The worst thing to happen to fantasy football in the last ten years: Indy gets a running game. Manning owners (ME!) hate it, and now, ironically, Addai owners hate it. What a complete mess. A buddy of mine lost his game by 1 point last night. He has both Addai and Keith on his roster. He played Addai, obviously. Keith outscored Joe by 2 points.
