kikkkomann Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Looking at Baltimore's last four games, they have given 8, 10, 8, and 8 points to opposing running backs. They currently are ranked first in running back defense giving up only 4 RB touchdowns the entire season. I am currently starting Arian Foster and Mark Ingram. I have Ryan Matthews (sat out last week with ankle injury) and Shane Vereen on my bench. Knowing that the Patriots are always in a platoon system and Matthews coming back from an injury, I think I should look at the waiver wire to fill that RB position (If I were to sit Foster). Here are my options: Matt Asiata @ Miami Pierre Thomas vs. Atlanta Toby Gerhart vs. Tennessee (I personally like this matchup the best) Joseph Randle (replacing Murray if he sits) vs. Indy (Another really good matchup) Carlos Hyde (if healthy, replacing Frank Gore who has a concussion) vs. San Diego Let me know what y'all think! Thanks Edited December 16, 2014 by kikkkomann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleem22 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 its crazy. his worst game would still be better than a majority of those other guys. he got you to the championship ... start your starters ... the simplest fantasy football rule but tried and true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkkomann Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Right now playing WR I have D.Thomas and Josh Gordon while OBJ is at flex. Do any of those RB's off the waiver wire warrant a start of Josh Gordon who has just been playing horribly? In that case I would slide OBJ into the WR spot and play one of those waiver wire RBS in my flex spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Nose Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'd say the first two (Asiata and Thomas), for sure. Thomas killed the Bears on RB screens last week. I'm in a similar predicament. I figure, if the rest of your team is solid and you can take a chance, roll with them over Gordon. I know you like the Gerhart matchup, but that game could be really ugly all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P2Nation21 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 No way you sit Foster. Yeah he has a tough match up against the Ravens but they are without their best defensive player and run stopper in Haloti Ngata for the rest of the year. They are already saying Foster is going to get his biggest work load of the season this week against the Ravens because of their QB situation, I would not be surprised at all if he carries the Ball 30+ times this week and with that good offensive line in Houston, I'd like those changes of him scoring a td or two, he is also a great pass catcher out of the backfield. Foster is a stud, he is in your line up regardless of match up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
