CaptainHook Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Hurt his knee in practice yesterday and is out for the season. edit: tore his right ACL in a non-contact drill on Thursday Edited September 13, 2013 by CaptainHook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgTalk Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I just got that info a few minutes too. That would make Bradshaw the prime guy to benefit...but does that put value in Donald brown too? Thinking a few weeks down the road, when Bradshaw goes down with more feet issues, is Donald the man next to the man now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiebonker Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Ok, is there anyone worth picking up in Indy? Bradshaw is taken in our league, but will he hold onto #1 or is there some else to take a shot at on a short bench league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Nice. Another potential ugly RB situation, speaking in terms of fantasy production. Assuming Bradshaw is unlikely to maintain a feature back role all season (which seems doubtful), what does this do to the Colts? Do they bring in auditions (similar to the NYG), does it make Donald Brown relevant once again (not that he was ever very relevant before, but), or does it potentially tip the scales towards even more of a pass-heavy offensive attack?

CaptainHook Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Donald Brown will be the #2 back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Personally, I'm not wasting a roster spot on Donald Brown, unless it's a very deep league. Been burned by him before, and I just don't see him contributing consistently. That said, if they don't have many other options, and Bradshaw is dinged up at all, he might contribute (or at least get a few touches/game) by default.

wpayers Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Only week 2 and I am already dumpster diving for RBs. Have (had) Ballard as a back up flex to Vereen. Who better to pick up Dwyer, Brown, Redman, Jacobs or Scott? With regard to the Indy attack, they appear to be committed to balance and won't go pass heavy just yet. But there's no doubt that Bradshaw will go down if pressed into 20+ carries a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faceplant Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Who better to pick up Dwyer, Brown, Redman, Jacobs or Scott? With a gun to my head, I would go with Redman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiebonker Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Ok. I own Hillman and B Pierce as my 3 and 4 in a very deep short bench league. Would someone on Indy and NE be worth picking up the would be a better gamble then these guys? Bradshaw and the top 2 RBs taken on NE.

archiebonker Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 But this about the Indy RB situation. So I think asking if there's anyone worth picking up on Indy is a sufficient question on this form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Archer Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Awesome for me. Ballard was taking away from Bradshaws production and I had him on the bench this week. Now im going to press my luck and start him and hope for the best. I dont know much about Brown but I snatched him up from WW since Bradshaw has some injury history himself. Sucks for Ballard owners though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles28 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Does this help or hurt their passing game/offense as a whole? I am thinking they throw more now, but will teams even respect the run knowing Bradshaw is hobbled, and if not, does that decrease offensive production?

PPIchamp Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) In a 14 teamer I grabbed Brown, but not anywhere else, only had to drop a backup IDP so it's no big loss whatsoever. We'll see what happens. We've all seen guys mostly suck for a few years then "figure it out", and we've see Brown get it done before. With Bradshaw's injury history he just may get a shot sooner than later. Edited September 13, 2013 by PPIchamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballard was a good pass blocker I think but Bradshaws not to bad himself. Overall it might hurt them a smidgeon but nothing crazy. But if Bradshaw gets hurt....well lets just hope he dosent.

archiebonker Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I'm one of those guys stuck with Hillman and Ivory. Neither is helping me, but hard to dump with not much out there to pickup. Always looking for a good gamble and I'm not sure Brown is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpayers Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 This is a thread about Ballard and the Colts RB situation. Please put questions on what RBs to pick up in the advice forum. ...a thousand pardons. Will comply. I was just overcome with the RB blues so early in the year. My league only allowed 5 RBs to drafted so Vereen and Ballard represented 40% of my original inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsofromance Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 With all these RB issues maybe its time to grab McGahee? Too soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiebonker Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 That is a good question. Is McGahee worth the gamble in a short bench league? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinatown dragons Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I'm chiming in as well regarding McGahee. I may grab him, stash on bench (would drop Le'Veon Bell, who doesnt' look like will be back anytime soon..). Figure just a matter of time before some team reaches out about McGahee, who could stil contribute... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
