Week 2 RB Flyers Which New Options Do You Like? (1 Viewer)

With injuries, suspensions, and face plants there are some new RB options to take a swing at this week.

Who are you betting on?

Stewart- has the talent and great opportunity but the RBBC still seems to exist

Asiata- basically betting on volume

McFadden- 35% boom 65% bust/injury

Bradshaw- the best Colt RB, will he get enough touches

West- probably the best option BUT will Crowell end up stealing the show

 
Stewart - Tough match-up and Tolbert will undoubtedly eat into work as witnessed by week 1 snap count and the way they shared when DWills sat out vs. TB last year. Best chance of having a good day in PPR where his production will be buoyed by 3-5 receptions.

Asiata - Good match-up, should see near 20 touches. Low-ish ceiling but decent bet for a TD.

McFadden - ALMO and Helu were able to run all over HOU from a YPC standpoint so DMC could be rather productive. Still expect to see Murray get some touches so I don't expect a full workload for DMC.

Bradshaw - PPR viable if IND were to go down to PHI early but game is projected to be close. Wouldn't feel safe trusting him.

West - Will see a healthy amount of touches but Crowell likely caps upside via stealing GL work. All four ATL RBs were able to run on NO.

I think I'd probably rank them Asiata > West > DMC > JStew > Bradshaw all thinks considered with the nod going to Asiata almost solely because I know he'll monopolize GL work. The same can't be said for any of the other RBs.

 
For reference, Draft Kings salary and Fantasy Pros PPR ranking- using updated projections entered 9-13-14

Stewart- $3,000 #42

Asiata- $3,000 #31

McFadden- $3,000 #35

Bradshaw- $4,000 #38

West- $4,800 #23

IMO Asiata is the best play in daily games and West the safest play

Bradshaw may be the swing for the fences pick in PPR with the Colts in a shootout with Philly

Any wiggle room for Latavius Murray to be on this list?

 
PPR: Asiata > West > Bradshaw > McFadden/Stewart

if West were guaranteed goalline, I'd put on par with Asiata or slightly ahead.
