Do you think Tolbert or Snelling will emerge as the more valuable back going forward. who is better to have in your back pocket down the home stretch?

Snelling is a stud if Turner goes down.

Tolbert isn't.

This brings me to a more general question strategy wise. Assuming you are starting neither, is it better to have a Snelling-type that is potentially gold but dependent on an injury or a Tolbert-type, someone who is scoring a consistent, albeit low, number of points each week, whose share would increase a bit with injury. The Snelling-type would be a home run, but what if that injury never happens and you do have to start the guy.

Snelling is a stud if Turner goes down. Tolbert isn't.

That is correct, because Tolbert doesn't play on the Falcons.

I like Tolbert in redraft, and Snelling in dynasty.

Matthews will be given every chance to succeed longterm in SD, but with Matthews banged up, Tolbert will be a great play as he continues to share carries in a great situation.

I think Atlanta rides Turner more as the year goes on, diminishing Snelling's value. However, Snelling is a FA this year, and might be able to land a starting gig somewhere next year. I don't think he's that talented, but he has produced.
