Bradshaw or Felix? WHIR 100%

Postby Black » Fri Dec 03, 2010 1:21 pm

Hey guys, I need to fill in my RB2 spot this week and for almost the entire season, that has been Ahmad Bradshaw. However this week matchups put him and Felix Jones at about a push in my eyes. The Giants do have a better rushing track record though.

Pick 1:
Ahmad Bradshaw vs. WAS
Felix Jones @ IND

Thanks!

This is a tough call.

The obvious downsides are timeshares and inconsistency.

I think you start Bradshaw, because he can put up a lot of yards on a few touches, and even though Jacobs "started" last week, Bradshaw surprisingly got some goal line work, along with his sprinkle of regular touches. You also have a much more serious clock risk with Peyton Manning under center against the Cowboys. There's every reason to think that the Colts will have greater time of possession and will be in the lead for most of the game, which reduces run time. On the flip side, the Giants SHOULD beat Washington, Washington SHOULDN'T dominate time of possession, etc, and playing from a lead usually means more touches for any RB. Playing from a big lead usually means the #2 RB gets more work in the second half as well. You can make a good argument for starting Felix. I'd start Bradshaw.

Give me your thoughts on mine?

Definitely Bradshaw, even if he is not the "starter" NYG will run a lot in this game and he will get his 12-15 touches and is much more explosive that Jacobs. Felix is inconsistant and as previously stated will have to deal with Manning scoring a bunch taking away from time to run the ball.
