C.J. Spiller, Bills – Fred Jackson, Bills –
The Bills continue to employ a two-headed backfield, and both backs continue to deliver results. No reason to fight it: both deserve a spot in fantasy lineups.
Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants – Andre Brown, Giants –
Bradshaw was headed for post-game x-rays for something other than his foot. Another injury for the über-tough back may cost him carries--while at the same time opening a door for Brown to get more work.
Reggie Bush, Dolphins –
Bush was essentially splitting carries with Daniel Thomas before this week's benching, so if that's the plan going forward it's not a disaster. But if the benching, against a defense he should have torched, costs him an opportunity to exploit Miami's soft schedule down the stretch... ugh.
Chris Ivory, Saints –
You can see why the Saints didn't want to trade him. You can't see why he doesn't get more touches. Will he return to the bench when Darren Sproles gets healthy? Will he hang on to at least a portion of the carries? More questions than answers here.
Rashad Jennings, Jaguars –
With Maurice Jones-Drew expected back in "a couple weeks", the curatin is falling on Jennings less-than-memorable tenure as the Jaguars' feature back. What was your favorite moment?
Jacquizz Rodgers, Falcons –
Over the past month Rodgers is turning a handful of touches into 50-plus yards on a regular basis. Maybe the Falcons are finally wising up to including him in the offensive game plan.
