A.Bradshaw vs TEN - tough matchup but looks like main guy with Jacobs non-existent T.Hightower vs OAK - Wells may debut week 3.... J.Addai @ DEN - reported to have a knee injury J.Charles vs SF - time share with t. jones frickin Haley.... M.Tolbert @ SEA - R. Matthews may miss week 3 with a high ankle sprain..
I would definitely go with A. Bradshaw and J. Charles. With B. Wells slated to come back this week, T. Hightower will probably not produce as well as in his first two weeks. J. Addai could be a potential second option, but I still think J. Charles has potential to outproduce him with his limited carries. I would give M. Tolbert a week to see how he is utilized.
Although Charles stated that Jones is the #1 runner in KC, he is a better match up against San Fran because of his outside running ability and san fran has a solid interior line. So, I start Charles. The other one is tougher. My feeling is to go with Hightower. Beenie might be READY, but does not mean he will go.
Tough call with so many similar options... I'm going with Bradshaw and Tolbert.
Bradshaw is THE MAN in NY, even against a bit of a tougher D, it's good to know that he has no one to vulture TDs or split carries. Also he is explosive and could give Ten trouble.
Tolbert for his goal line prowess, he looked real good even before Mathews went down. On a good offense, powerful back w/ something to prove.
Hightower has a juicy matchup and would be my 2nd choice, if it weren't for Beanie's inevitable return. Just a bit risky if Wells comes out w/ the hot hand.
Charles and Addai also have that RBBC possibility this week, with the matchup and injury
Bradshaw as your first. He's been solid, not great but just steady. I think he could have a great week. I'd pick Tolbert as the second. Should get most of the touches and all of the goal line carries. He was very solid last week and I see no reason why he would not pick up right where he left off.
