NE Patriots RBs (1 Viewer)

[Eagle Eye]

Seems to be an even RBBC in which Dillon has excelled lately and Maroney not so much. How does Belichek divvy up the work? Is Dillon the goalline back or has his success been more a function of being in the games at the right time?

I'm thinking that Maroney is a great buy low right now and that he's got just as much a chance to put up fantasy points as Dillon.

Am I reading this situation right?

Being on the west coast I haven't seen much of NE this year, and I am fine with that. : ) So I really know very little about how they are used other than from what I can gather from game stats.

I find the NE RB situation interesting. Earlier in the season it seemed Maroney was making the move to take over this year as the primary runner, but then it seems Dillon came on very strong.

I'd definitely like to hear any homer insight on the situation.

alot of people love maroney and i guess its somewhat justified. He reminds me alot of Steven Jackson in the way he runs, and I think he'll be a successful NFL back. But the fact that Dillon is still holding him off and that Maroney hasn't scored in weeks sort of worries me. I'd love to see him bust one against GB this week to ease my fears a little bit.
