IndyFan 2 Posted November 25, 2012 Ballard vs Buffalo at home or Hilolman vs KC on the road I have a big lead because I had Stafford and Megatron starting so do I go with the conservate call of Ballard since I know he will get 10 to 20 touches against a bad Buffalo defense or do I still start Hillman who has a higher ceiling but could also be a total bust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElectricBoogaloo 1 Posted November 25, 2012 I think I would play it safe and play Ballard. He's sure to get 15+ touches. Buffalo is not an imposing defense. I'm not sure they trust Hillman enough yet. I would not be surprised if Fox plays it close to the vest and uses Ball for his 3 yard carries and pass protections. He just wants to keep Manning upright when the game is in question...I think Hillman may get some clock killing touches and screen work, but it might be hard for him to find the end zone which is where games are won or lost...

seh2000 5 Posted November 25, 2012 Ballard is getting most touches out of the pair. give him a go this week. too much upside vs Buffalo thx for mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruswayn1 0 Posted November 25, 2012 This is a tough one.. KC ranks 25th against the run and 7th against the pass so will Denver have to run it more? Probably not and we all think there will be garbage time carries for the Denver rbs. Buffalo is 31st against the run so the Indy rbs should do fine, but who will get more touches? Id go safe and play Ballard, you know he will get around 10-15 carries. Hillman could get stuffed every on of his early runs and sit on the bench the rest of the game, less likely with Ballard. Thanks for the help, good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
handbanana 47 Posted November 25, 2012 I would roll the dice with Hillman. Ballard is in an almost even time-share with Brown, and Hillman may be the guy to own in Denver. He may get a rush AND a rec TD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Goomy Noomy Roo 50 Posted November 25, 2012 I would definitely go Ballard here. He is still getting the upside of the carries. Don't believe those that say he is an even time-share with Brown. Keep Ballard in there for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
