Vereen - Should be PPR gold, but can I trust him this week?

PPR.

 

My other option in my flex is Colston who got no catches last week at all. At least Vereen had a few measly points while he wasn't on the bench in favor of Ridley.

 

Who is my flex?!?! Projected Yahoo points say Vereen, FantasyPros head-to-head comparison says go Colston by far.

 

I'm lost.

Projecting Vereen's '13 stats into a full year equals "ppr gold", but counting on New England RBs hasn't worked well for years.

 

I'm usually the guy who says "start a good RB at flex if you can."... but Vereen is a tough call. He ain't that reliable and his ceiling is somewhat limited in my mind.

Ah......the memories of owning a Patriots RB.

 

He should be PPR gold but Bill Belichick hates you.

Ridley played so well last week, I have a bad feeling that Ridley will be used again :/

Don't say that ⬆

Ridley played so well last week, I have a bad feeling that Ridley will be used again :/

Which is why Vereen will score three times this Sunday.

 

I have Ridley/Vereen... And will start Ridley with no confidence whatsoever this week vs OAK.

I avoided drafting Pats players because of the constant injury report nonsense and wild swings in performance.

Raiders suck against the run. I ^expect^ that it will be all Ridley but who the hell can say for sure

Vereen right now is listed as questionable for this weekend .

Mind-Boggling. He couldn't have become injured @ MIN... He only touched the ball like 6 focking times.

That combined with his lack of use last week means he'll get the lion's share of the carries and screen passes. He'll most likely be a top 10 back (MAYBE 5) this week in PPR.

 

Odds are 79.2% I'm right in my deciphering of Bill B.'s game plan.

This is the first year since Corey Dillon that I have not carried at least 1 NE RB. It feels so good. I have been burned more times than Ive been right. Send Vereen to the Ridley owner and reduce your stress level. That being said, go with Vereen this week since I feel real strong that Ridley is shine this week.

I trusted him last week. It was an experience I refer to as painful.

I think bill will go with ridley against a piss poor raiders embarrassment of a franchise, saddled with schmucks at every level of management, and save vereen for games against opponents who have NFL caliber talent.

I also have Asiata to muddle the waters even more. But Colston vs Asiata (sharing carries this week?playing from behind less opportunity?) vs Vereen in my flex I still like Vereen.The Pats aren't all that this year, maybe James Jones + co will make a game of it requiring some aggressive offense with Vereen catching some balls.
