Bolden is interesting going forward if Manningham is back in the line-up because that should help take some of the double coverage off of him. Leonard is getting the start this game over Rainey, although I suspect the two might soon flip roles. He's not all that great of a RB, but the Falcons run D is rather porous. Ivory is on a bit of a role as of late, so he's probably your hot hand over everyone else, but the Bills are a good defense vs the run making this a tougher call. Mendenhall vs the Jaguars is also intriguing given our run D prior to last week, but after this week his value goes way down.

Since you have other options, just watch Leonard and Rainey this weekend to get a better read on them. The same goes for Bolden. Even though thing should open up for him, it's probably best to verify that first. So in my mind the call is Ivory vs a tough run D or Mendenhall vs a weak run D. Ivory is getting the bulk of the jets carries, but he's not even as good as some RBs that the Bills have shut down. Mendenhall, meanwhile, is still getting half the carries for the Cards and is trying to earn his job back. I'm real tempted to say you should flex Mendenhall this week, and then waive him after this week even if he does well.
