Why the low weekly ranking for Rudi? (1 Viewer)

[strong]

Didn't Rudi do very well against Baltimore last year?

The OLine has had injuries and issues. Plus, Rudi has not been getting a ton of carries each game. I would think it is more of a state of the offense ranking instead of just about Rudi.

So do you start him or bench him? I would think that the offense would have to turn around and give Rudi his carries. Their latest game plan isn't working, so something has to change. Perhaps giving Rudi more carries is the answer?

I know Rudi & some of the other Bengals, have been openly politicking this week, for a little more emphasis to be placed on the running game.

Levi Jones is out.

He is really struggling this year. The team is imploding. Injuries are mounting. The Ravens want to take the division title back. This is a huge game for the Bengals. I think they are going to get hammered but the Bengal faithful had better get used to it. Just like the Steelers. No playoffs this year. You cannot run the ball in November- December you are going home....

If you look at the stats, whether it's been in garbage time or not, teams have had success passing vs. the Ravens (specifically Samari Rolle). So I would expect the game plan to be similar to the one used vs. ATL, even if they have success w/ Rudi. With all their WRs back on offense they'll likely be giving the secondary a workout early and often.

I'd put Rudi's ceiling as the same as last week (10 pts max).
