Ahmad Bradshaw, Daniel Herron's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 8

The Indianapolis Colts were involved in an all-out aerial assault with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. While the game was highly entertaining to watch, it left running backs Ahmad Bradshaw and Daniel Herron with limited opportunities to produce for fantasy owners.

Here's a look at the duo's final numbers for the day:

Player	Rush	Rush Yds	TD	Rec	Rec Yds	Fantasy Pts
Ahmad Bradshaw	6	35	1	7	52	14
Daniel Herron	1	2	0	1	5	0

Bradshaw was expected to come away with a huge game due to Trent Richardson's lingering hamstring injury. Richardson didn't receive a single carry, but a pass-heavy scheme still left the team's running backs with smaller roles than usual.

Still, Bradshaw found some success despite carrying only six times. He found the end zone on a 12-yard scamper in the third quarter and was targeted often in the passing game. Even though Indianapolis didn't utilize the running game, the versatile Bradshaw still thrived.

Mike Wells of ESPN tweeted his thoughts on the ball-carrier's rushing touchdown:

Consider Bradshaw a viable RB2 going forward. He continues to find the end zone and has consistently racked up fantasy points each week, whether the Colts choose to rely more on the run or the pass.

Herron is the team's third running back but was in line for more carries because of Richardson's injury. That didn't happen because of the team's few rushing attempts, and Herron remains on the outskirts of the fantasy radar. His only value would be as a handcuff if either Bradshaw or Richardson would miss substantial time.
