RB decisions: B. Brown, M. Reece, M. Turner, V. Ballard
As my WW pickups begin to turn the reigns back to their starters, I am found lacking majorly at Running Back.

- Worth playing Reece on Thursday? Will he contribute enough?
- Play Brown even if McCoy returns? Will definitely play if he doesn't.
- Will Turner stumble into the end zone again?
- I just picked up Ballard, appears to have a good matchup, only play him if Donald Brown doesn't start?

A lot of variables here, but the most pressing is do I waste a play on Thursday before I could hear about others situations?

    Reece is hurt. DMC is back. I actually just dropped him, but that was for other reasons (I have strong RBs and injury problems at WR). With Brown/Turner on hand, there's no need to waste the spot on Reece, who does not have much upside this week.

    McCoy wont be back, but this is a tough matchup for Brown. Turner has a great matchup, and will stumble into the end zone again. I wouldnt touch Ballard. Not with the other options you have. But I do like him better than Reece this week.

    I would rank them Brown, Turner, Ballard, Reece for this week. Hopefully, you have a good RB already starting and this is a RB2 situation, because its unclear what you'll get from Brown, Reece, Ballard the rest of the way. And hopefully the Falcons wont rest Turner for the playoffs (which they really should at some point).

    Brown is incredibly talented, so even against the top run D of the Bucs, he's the play. If by some miracle, McCoy is back, then I'd go with Turner.

    Heh, nope, these ARE my only RBs :( Whomp (lost one or two from Injury early on, never recovered and I've been trying for weeks to trade Ryan for someone). This is good info, thanks!

    Too many good QBs out there, so they've become really tough to trade and get fair value for. Turner has solid matchups the rest of the way. And you just have to hope that McCoy stays out (at least next week when Ballard has a tough matchup)

    Alex Green is available and starting due to Stark being traded, better than my options?

    Nah. Maybe better than Reece, depending on how they use him tonight. But I definitely like Brown, Turner, and Ballard way better

    He's probably worth adding though if you have a spare part to drop, just in case McCoy comes back and messes up the good thing you have going with Brown

    I didn't even notice that you said traded
