Both Torrain and Ridley are available. Torrain had one good week. He was hurt last year and Shanahan has already said the Helu is the future of their offense. The Skins run the ball alot, but everyone on that offense is on a short leash. Torrain could fumble twice in week 6 and be right back on the 3 RB in their depth chart.
Ridley on the other hand is a good runner, is younger and is in a much better offense. The Pats have BGE, a small not very physical runner who hasn't been having a very good year despite the large leads the Pats have been having. Woodhead isnt an every down back as well. The Pats D is terrible and Brady needs someone in the backfield that can help run some time off the clock when they build up big leads and keep that horrendous defense off the field and resting (because God knows they need it).
Even though Torrain may be a better runner, Ridley will have more chances for garbage carries at the end of games, he has little competition and a little higher ceiling.
