Ryan Torain?

Recommended Posts

Okay, I'm starting to like this guy. Is he the real deal for the rest of the season?

 

Hello, Rip Van Winkle. Yes, he is the real deal. I and many others have been saying as much for weeks now :rolleyes:

He has the Lions on the horizon next week too. His success should continue.

 

Cant remember exactly who it is but he has 3 brutal matchups in a row after that. I'm going to do everything i can to move him after next week.

 

Guess it's in 2 weeks.

 

He's got

 

Tennessee

Minnesota

Giants

The Bears, coming in to this game, were ranked #3 against the run...and he posted 125 yards against them :wave:

 

...as for the others, Minnesota just gave up 4.5 yards per carry to Brandon freakin' Jackson, and the Giants/Titans allow close to 100 yards per game on the ground...so...move him if you'd like, but he's a starter, a tough runner, and is only getting experience (i.e. better) with each passing week.

Yeah he got 125 on Chicago....but still he fumbled twice and really do not look all that great.

 

He is not in on 3rd downs and after next week I think his stock will go down over the following 5 weeks after Detroit. A Bye Phili, Ten, NYG and Minny.

 

Tough thing is he plays Jax week 16 and that is a nice matchup....will Portis be back though?

He is actually very similar in size and stature to Adrian Peterson. The only difference is less speed. But they both have long, somewhat bowed, legs and an upright running style. Torain is for real.

 

The big improvement in this game for Torain was that he pounded it inside consistently whereas last game he bounced many inside runs to the outside.

Trying myself to decide if I want to sell high on him. He is my #3 RB but I might be doomed with Addai/Donald Brown? I think I will hold one more week, hope he rips the Lions, see what happens in Indy then sell. With Randy underachieving, Floyd's hamstring, A Gonzo getting hurt (yet again) and Nicks on a bye with a "tired" hamstring I may be forced to wait....
