Ahmad Bradshaw rewards fantasy owners in MNF loss
Indianapolis Colts running back Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for 70 yards and added five receptions for 26 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. We bring you the fantasy implications here.
Fantasy impact: Bradshaw is averaging over five yards per carry while Richardson is averaging a little over three yards per carry. For some reason, the Colts seem committed to giving Richardson more carries. Fantasy owners should reconcile themselves to this split until the Colts figure out Bradshaw is the better option. Richardson had some nice runs on Monday night so that could further cloud Bradshaw's future. The Colts will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. The Jaguars are ranked No. 28 in the league in rushing defense.
