New England RB rotation......

Anyone have any insight on the use of New England RB's. It seems Ridley is the primary ball carrier, sprinkle in some Woodhead and Vereen. Earlier this season Vereen had a monster game and went back into hiding. Woodhead seems to get his steady dose of around 10 touches a game.

 

Reason for asking is I'm desperate for a bye week filler. I have Woodhead on roster and Vereen is available. I only assume it's all part of game planning on whether or not Vereen would be more involved. Any homers have any insight??? Specifically for this week preferably.

Just don't expect the bulk of the RB production to go to any one back, even Ridley on a regular basis. Watching the Jets game Vereen seemed to be on the field a lot more than Ridley.

 

OK, looking at this past week's stats Ridley did have 17 carries to Vereen 8 and Woodhead 6. Not sure why I felt Ridley wasn't on the field much, maybe those were all passing downs.

 

Outside of Ridley, I think its hard to predict the production of the others, too dependent on the game situation.

As a fellow ridley owner to others, is Vareen a must own if you have Ridley?

 

 

I see not much FF value in Vereen this year. I emphasize this year....I just don't think he'll get the opportunity considering he'd be most effective doing what Woodhead is doing right now for the most part. I think it is a frustrating FF situation obviously. But people have to stop jumping off the Ridley bandwagon and stop their panicking. Ridley has got double digit carries every week this season -- again -- every single week. He had 28, 16, and 17 the last 3 weeks. I think he will continue to get that workload -- he has played two stingy defenses the last 2 weeks in the Jets and Seahawks...I'm not very worried as a Ridley owner, although I am biased. :fool:
