Indianapolis Colts running back Ahmad Bradshaw saw his workload grow for the second straight week. It resulted in 13 carries for 70 yards, and he added five catches for 26 yards and two scores. Although he's been splitting carries with Trent Richardson, Bradshaw looks to be the superior option through the first two weeks.

Fantasy Impact: Richardson remains the team’s starter, but no one should be surprised to see Bradshaw’s role grow at Richardson’s expense. Richardson had one of his better performances last week, but his three-year career has been underwhelming to say the least. Meanwhile, Bradshaw’s workload has grown from just three carries in the first week to 13 carries in Week 2. Although Bradshaw is in his eighth season, he’s still relatively young at 28. He forced his way into the RB2 conversation, and he’s a savvy pick-up for owners lacking running back depth. He’s caught five balls in both games and, if he continues to outplay Richardson, Bradshaw could easily find himself in range of 15-20 carries per game. Owners should feel comfortable starting Bradshaw as an RB2/flex play, and he should be rostered in all formats.
