RBs
Devonta Freeman, Falcons – Nearly matched last week’s stellar output with 68 rushing yards and a TD trifecta, plus 5 receptions for 81 yards.
Jeremy Hill, Bengals – Oh, so he’s still part of this offense? I guess so, after his 40-yard, 3-TD performance.

Matt Jones, Redskins – Only 11 rushing yards.

  1. Ladd,
    Two questions I could use some advice on:
    Gore or Gurley this week?
    Would you drop Tannehill for Sam Bradford?

    Thanks,

    Rick

  2. I would have said Gurley if I had seen this earlier. Looks like you're OK either way. No, I wouldn't drop Tannehill for Bradford.
