At this point, Ridley remains the front-runner to remain the Patriots' lead back, with Vereen expected to grow into a larger change-of-pace role with the team. It's possible that Blount could steal some of Ridley's short-yardage thunder, but that's no lock, with Ridley reportedly having added a noticeable amount of muscle to his frame this offseason.","date":"Thu May 2"},"fullName":"Stevan Ridley","pointsSEASON":191,"seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"What's the world coming to, when Bill Belichick and Mike Shanahan both stick to their lead rushers and make fantasy stars of them? While Alfred Morris was tearing it up in D.C., Ridley became the latest goal-line monster in New England, except unlike his predecessor BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Ridley has legitimate between-the-tackles explosiveness. We hesitate to call Ridley a fantasy first-rounder because he doesn't play on third downs. But New England has 14 more rushing attempts from inside an opponent's 10 than any other NFL franchise over the past three seasons combined. Provided LeGarrette Blount doesn't get involved on the goal line (and we don't think he will), Ridley will post 10-plus TDs again this season, many of the short variety.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Mon May 13"},"positionRank":9,"projectedPoints":181}
