BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues
ANALYSIS: With the running back injuries to both C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson, third string running back Anthony Dixon was thrust into the lead RB role during Sunday's Week 7 game. After taking over, he picked up 51 rushing yards on 13 carries (3.9 YPC) and caught another 3 passes on 4 targets, good for 9.6 points in PPR leagues.
C.J. Spiller has already been ruled out for the season with a broken collarbone, and Fred Jackson has already been ruled out for next week with a groin injury that could keep him out up to four weeks. Bryce Brown will be in the mix as well, and could emerge as the more talented running back, but Dixon will definitely be seeing touches as well.
Both Dixon and Brown are running back sleepers to consider on the Week 8 waiver wire, especially if you're hurting at the running back position or looking to add some more depth for bye weeks. The Bills offense heavily features the running attack, and should yield at least one running back that provides consistent fantasy value. They will continue to lean on their running backs even with Spiller and Jackson out of commission, so feel free to add these RBs to your teams.
