ANALYSIS: Most of Bradshaw’s value throughout this fantasy Football season hinges on the failure of Trent Richardson. The biggest question is if Richardson doesn’t perform, will the Colts deem him a “failure” and turn to Bradshaw to lead the backfield sooner rather then later? While Richardson is still the lead back, Bradshaw can also still have flex value in deeper leagues based on match ups due to his pass catching and possible goal line carries.
If you are a T-Rich doubter or have T-Rich as your RB2, I would lean towards holding Bradshaw as a roster stash in case Richardson falters. If Bradshaw does take over, we are all familiar with what he was able to to do with the Giants a few years ago and could be a solid RB2 (when healthy) for your team in what could be a great Colts offense. Bradshaw is one of the highest ceiling handcuffs, running back sleepers and roster stashes in leagues who may not even need an injury to take over.
