The Colts have been a little better on the ground, but should fantasy owners have faith in either back?
Indianapolis Colts running back Ahmad Bradshaw has flourished this season, totaling 250 rushing yards, 151 receiving yards, 18 receptions and four touchdowns in his second season with the team. He will likely be the lead back for the Colts against the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football.
Meanwhile, former first-round pick Trent Richardson still hasn't come around. He has just a 3.4 yards-per-carry average for just 240 rushing yards on the season. Richardson only has one touchdown, which is fewer than quarterback Andrew Luck has amassed.
The two backs are going to be in a timeshare, but Bradshaw's edge quickness has made him a superior fit on the offense. Richardson has been a little better over his last two contests, so he hasn't lost touches and averaged 18.5 carries per game.
Fantasy impact: The Texans have a solid defense in the pass and the rush, so it'll likely be Luck doing the heavy lifting. Considering Bradshaw has been so effective in the passing game, he's a solid RB2 in a PPR. Richardson is more of a low-end flex.
