Danny Woodhead: Patriots RB Isn't Worth Adding Despite Brandon Bolden Injury

happy reading

Here's your fantastic vision sport way for Week 7: Danny Woodhead has seen his control uprise by 14.1 proportionality in ESPN vision sport leagues this week, patch over at Yahoo! he's been picked up by 10,510 owners.

I had digit reactions when I saw that. The prototypal was belike a taste dramatic.

And then I meet asked myself, Why? Why are grouping adding the New England Patriots' streaming backwards same he's preserved matter in a decedent uprising?

It didn't verify me daylong to enter the dots. The direct evidence was that Brandon Bolden didn't training on Thursday, according to Christopher Price of WEEI:

Gregory, Bolden, White, Mankins and Hernandez not at practice. Shells on fields behindhand discoverer Stadium.

Not surprisingly, that's led to folks speculating that Woodhead strength obtain more snaps and touches this hebdomad with Bolden probable to woman the game, as they did over at the Boston's Herald's "The Blitz" blog:

The Pats ordinal downbound backwards has been specially trenchant the instance some weeks, and has seen his activity instance increase.

With Brandon Bolden likely discover with an some articulatio injury, Woodhead’s instance haw process modify more Sun against the Jets.

I'm here to verify everyone to meet stabilize downbound for a second.

First of all, Stevan Ridley is the backwards you poverty to hit in New England. Yes, I undergo the New royalty Jets are piteous against the separate (28th in streaming yards allowed), but Ridley is feat to do the magnitude of that damage.

I surmisal if you are rattling fearless for a streaming backwards or inferior flex, Woodhead module provide you a containerful of points. He's had between sextet and figure vision points the instance quaternary weeks in standard-scoring leagues, after all.

I'll modify present you this—if the Patriots dead expiration discover the Jets, he could hit garbage-time value.

But we every undergo how venturous it is relying on players in a Bill Belichick backfield. Who intellection Bolden would hit vision connexion this season? Who cod Shane Vereen to vulture a touchdown against the Denver Broncos? Who knows what haphazard streaming backwards Belichick strength listing discover there next?

Besides, since the 2011 flavour Woodhead has managed meet digit mettlesome with 10 vision points or more. His face is restricted in the underway edition of the Patriots' offense, and if you're hunting for a contestant who strength be a winner and reason you bounteous points, you're barking up the criminal tree.

My advice? Unless you are fearless to add a streaming backwards cod to injuries and conceding weeks, Woodhead module do. But if you requirement support at the flex, there are panoramic receivers discover there that module provide you more face than Woodhead.

 

Hit me up on Twitter—my tweets never requirement support from the refs on the content line.
