Rotoworld has poo-pooed Dixon as the Bills RB if McCoy/Karlos are out, noting he's a plodder with career 3.4 ypc. Still, give him 12 caries at that average and a touch and he's at 10 points.
Seems too risky to play Thursday before we know the status of McCoy and Karlos for Sunday. But IF he's the starter... only needs 9 points to hit value. He had 1 yard and 1 TD in Week 1, and had a couple decent games last year -- 27 yards rushing 1 TD and 1 rec for 8 yards against NE, 54 yards rushing 1 TD and 1 rec for 8 yards against Jets.
FBGs projections right now have him only at 6 points (they have Karlos Williams around 6-8 points, so obviously that could change). I don't exactly love his talent but at (min price) $4,500 is this a foolish punt at RB2? The matchup against the Titans is decent, but they gave up just 12.3 points to all 3 Bucs RBs combined in week 1. Other matchups have been much better (Gore at 22 pts, Crow at 13 pts).
The cliche reply is,
for a gpp, sure.
Heh... after placing dead last out of 3100+ using that same strategy I am wary of using cheap RBs even in GPPs. I figured Rawls would get a fair number of touches with Lynch out in a must win for Seattle. Also, figured that a wet game + winds ~16mph would cause the Eagles and Redskins to run more than usual. Both Rawls and Mathews had a good games the week before. Jones + Cobb + Beckham... what could go wrong? Apparently, quite a bit.
