IND's RB situation

[RokoMotion]

Granted - Rhodes had almost 2/3 the carries in the backfield, but it seemed like Addai was in ALL the time during the game. The Colts as a team put together a very very poor rushing performance. Do you guys think that their running game is going to be that bad as a group for the rest of the year? Also, do you see the RB situation continuing in a similar split to this for the rest of the year?

Yes. Granted, they were playing a much improved Giants' D, but IND is going to struggle to run the ball with only Rhodes & Addai back in the backfield.

 

 

Also, do you see the RB situation continuing in a similar split to this for the rest of the year?

 

 

Yes. I've said all along that Addai was going to be a bust as a RB. I didn't see anything yesterday that made me think differently. Obviously I could still be wrong, but I think the running O is going to be IND's Achilles' heel this year & will cost them some games, and especially hurt them in the playoffs, where they haven't exactly set the world on fire the way it is (except vs DEN, of course :mad: )

I have Rhodes too. I was thinking of trading Norwood or Rod Smith or both for Adai, incase he ever starts. What do you think?

I think Norwood could have more potential playing for Atlanta(leading rushing O) than Addai for Indy. No way I give Norwood and Rod Smith for Addai.

Norwood looked great yesterday, Addai didnt. I have Rhodes as my #3 and am ok if he puts up 50yds and 1td on my bye weeks, FWIW.

I actually think the Giants have a very good D. Rhodes may turn out to be better than you might think. Even though they are splitting carries, I would hang onto Rhodes for another couple of weeks before abandoning all hope.

 

I drafted P. Manning in 2 leagues hoping that the running game would stink. Forcing Manning to put up what will hopefully be 2004 numbers. He fell well short of that yesterday.

Giants have a pretty good D-line. I would expect them to run the ball alot better next week.

 

That being said..who knows if it is Rhodes or Addai who makes the most noise.

I believe that I heard that indy thinks Addai is a better pass protection guy and this could lead to why he was in the game more. I would think that Rhodes will continue to be the better fantasy rb (statwise) through the year as long as he stays healthy.
