Whiskey Pimp Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I was waiting for this to be brought up. Ridley has been running so well and the fumble didn't end up hurting the team but I'm trying to work on trading him at this high. I just don't know what to try and get for him.

flemingd Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Terrified, because BB don't give one rat's ass about your FF team, my FF team, Steve Ridley's feelings, or anything other than TWINKIES ANYONE have you done lately. And lately, Ridley fumbled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LbNiners Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) still the best/most productive back on the team, I dont know Bellchik track records with RB but 1 fumble even with a history of it shouldn't kill his game entirely. Only thing I dont like seeing is the odd times when they decide to throw in Vareen/Bolden randomly at the goal line, thats the only thing diminishing Ridley over all fantasy game.

Bolden is averaging almost a full ypc more than Ridley is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeSteele Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Bel is not some sort of a racist coach. But fantasy owners be worried. After Ridley fumbled I read Bel's lips and I believe he said about the fumble "he is too much of a bigger" I think he feels Ridley runs too big and coach tends to like smaller rbs like Woodhead etc...

ABearWithFurniture Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Brady fumbled as well...guess we'll be seeing his backup next weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LbNiners Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Really? Bolden is averaging almost a full ypc more than Ridley is. that was mostly due to that big Buffalo gm and what happened to Bolden against Den then? Ridley still got twice as many carries and had the better ypc. Edited October 9, 2012 by LbNiners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 that was mostly due to that big Buffalo gm and what happened to Bolden against Den then? Ridley still got twice as many carries and had the better ypc. Not following your point - did the Buffalo game not count or something? Ridley played in that game as well. I'm not saying Bolden is a better RB - was simply responding to a comment made that Ridley is still the best/most productive back on the team. The numbers on a per carry basis thus far don't necessarily back that statement up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More total yards, more TD's, more carries, etc. dont count? Edited October 9, 2012 by LbNiners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scare Tactics Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Belicheck will do what he wants regardless of who is better. If A.Hernandez didnt get hurt, Welker might still be sitting on the sidelines. Its Bills world. Ridley could get 20 carries this week, or 0 carries, and I dont think anyone would be surprised either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardway Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I cautiously optimistic that BB will see that Ridley is his best RB and gives the Pats the best chance to win. I am sticking with him. It is potentially a sell high moment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileyrott Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I have Ridley in 2 leagues. In 1, I'm keeping him (as no one trades much). But in the other, I'm gonna see what I can get for him. And no, I don't trust BB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 is that all youre basing your more productive analysis on? More total yards, more TD's, more carries, etc. dont count? For a guy who just started getting carries two games ago, not really. You can't compare total stats for guys who have effectively played 5 games and 2 games, respectively.

The Ridley and Welker situations are different, though, in that one would be a performance based benching (i.e., because of fumbles) and the other was purely strategic/financial (i.e, hey wes - we don't need you, so we'll deflate and your stats so we can pay you even less next season).

rattsass Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) I am a Ridley owner in multiple leagues so maybe I am just trying to be optimistic, but I'm not all that concerned about his latest fumble. Dude had been toting the rock all day for a buck fifty. I think he was getting a bit run down there at the end when he lost the ball. I really don't think Belichick is going to hold this against him as such, however he may see a downtick in touches so he doesn't get worn down by the end of the game. So there is some concern about him losing touches for that reason, but I'm really not worried about him losing his preferred status, situation as it was Sunday.

bostonsoxandy Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 i give it an ampersand for now, may upgrade it to a # or even a ^ if things progress worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EW3 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 He was mostly on my bench with Richardson and Morris as my starters. However, I managed to sell him high with Colston for A.Foster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Well according to what Belichick says, he will hold the fumble against him. Not sure how people don't believe that will happen, other than being an overly optimistic Ridley owner. Will somebody else get the bulk of the carries regularly, probably not. But they won't lean on Ridley as much either. Check the recent player news for Ridley http://www.thehuddle.com/nfl/player/24860/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_stef13 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm not getting rid of him "yet", but going to sit him this week (Mendenhall vs. Tenn in place of Ridley) But, then again, new to FF so really no clue what I'm doing half the time.

peteteacher2001 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Is Ridley really at the sell high point? He is number 3 in my league, one point behind Jamaal Charles, and had Charles had an above average day two weeks ago, Ridley would be number 2. I do not think there is room for concern as teams have had to figure out a way to stop the two TE set that was so explosive in NE last year.

Balzac Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 While I think there's a fair chance Beli doesn't do anything (yet), I think some people are ignoring the fact that this is Bill Belichick we're talking about here. You know, the guy who went with BJGE (a thoroughly mediocre RB who was far less talented of a runner than others on the roster) for the last few years primarily because the guy never fumbled. Maybe it's just me, but I think he'd gladly go with a "plodder" who guts out 4 ypc and never fumbles over a more talented runner with 4.5 ypc who fumbles 6 or 7 times over the course of a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm not getting rid of him "yet", . Yep, I wouldn't waive him until he drops out of the top 5 FF RBs, then it's time to send the useless slob packing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
