LaMont losing work

The surprising jobshare in Indianapolis will get more attention, but another team may have started to lean committee this weekend. With LaMont Jordan struggling for a second straight week, Dominic Rhodes had nine carries to eleven for Jordan.
Rhodes played the third series of the game, and then the fifth, and a similar pattern continued in the second half. It’s uncertain if Rhodes would have received so much work if Jordan was getting yards. Both players failed to top three yards-per-carry as Oakland’s offensive line struggled for the second straight week.
One of the reasons I like Jordan, especially in PPR leagues, is that he puts up numbers even when he plays poorly. In this game he got 29 rushing yards, four catches, and 40 receiving yards for 10.9 fantasy points. His receiving numbers build in a margin for error, but he’s going to struggle to be a top-15 fantasy option if Rhodes continues to cut into his workload. Let's see how next week goes before drawing any conclusions.
