Stevan Ridley Among Top Fantasy Rushers For Week 1
Stevan Ridley rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown during Sunday’s game between the Patriots and the Titans. We break down the fantasy implications.
Presswire
Analysis: Ridley carried the rushing load for the Patriots, with Shane Vereen inactive with a foot injury. Vereen appears to be the only other back on the Pats' depth chart capable of challenging Ridley for a feature role. Keep an eye on practice reports this week, but regardless Ridley is still the favorite to take the lion's share of touches. Next week's game against the Arizona Cardinals could be a juicy one for fantasy owners.
