I would really like to see what Crowell could do with 26 carries like they gave West vs Cincy.

Crowell won't hit 20 carries. That injury last week killed his momentum and gave West a chance to take a step out of the doghouse. As much as I'd love to see 2 TD day and 100 yds, it's pipe-dream. Only chance I see is West gets hurt or fumbles. I hope I'm wrong to make up
For the dump the Rams DST took for lineup on Thursday.

Sitting him for Blount. So he'll go off.

Sitting him for Hill; I likely fell for coach-speak (indicating Hill in line for bulk of touches). Like Bloom said, it's a coin-flip between these two

In over Jennings and Keenan at flex.

Disagree. Spiller is much more talented. The last couple years they'd pull him after a few carries and never let him get into a rhythm. He was HUGE when Fjax was out. Much better then Fjax was when Spiller was out. Injuries and awful playcalling have hurt Spiller more then talent has.
Regardless, feed Crowell and get him going. He's done well with those full load opportunities. 7 Carries near the end of the 3rd isn't the way to do it. But hey, i guess the playcalling of getting Johnny to throw is much better.

What happened to the running lanes that starting Manziel would produce? The Bengals must have stacked the box, which makes perfect sense. F these experts who spew their wishful thinking and get our hopes up. Thank God I have Odell else I'd be cooked.

In my opinion, nope. Unless you're desperate.
I started him over Lacy today and almost lost because of it. He's on my bench next week in favor of Lamar Miller.
Between West getting carries and Manziel running AND sucking, way too much risk and not enough potential reward when the defense doesn't have to respect the passing game at all.

Murray owner here. May need to start Crowell next week if it turns out randle won't be the guy.

Most of us knew this year was going to be up & down, but do whatever you can (within reason) to get the Crow in your dynasty league.

Don't like him at all this week. West got carries first last week, so his work load is still uncertain. I also think the game is going to get away from them in the second half, so I don't think there will be a lot if carries. Desperation play this week IMO.

Another yawner. Maybe next year he can claim the actual job. Although with Manziel it might not even matter.

2nd most disappointing hype machine of the year behind Gordon.
interesting stat on mike clay's espn article:
Following the departure of Ben Tate, the Browns managed just one carry within six yards of the opposing end zone. That lone haul went to Terrance West, which meant fellow rookie Isaiah Crowell was not given much of an opportunity to score. In fact, during the entire season, Crowell managed just three carries within six yards of paydirt. That makes his eight-score season that much more impressive. Crowell will continue to share the Cleveland backfield with West in 2015 and possibly beyond, but he's clearly the better talent here and is two years younger. A sure bet to see more goal-line work in run-heavy Cleveland as a sophomore, Crowell is an RB1 sleeper.

I think we are in for another camp battle between West and Crow. I like Crow to win that.

This Crow owner loves his ability but the rest of the team is not at a level to help him out. Manzier should not be allowed to see the field. Hoyer really fell apart last year from the previous year. No Gordon, In fact no starting WRs. Hawkins is a good little 3rd down guy, not a starter. OL is strong when Mack comes back but every team will be keying on the run because the passing game scares no one. Their best move is to suck and grab a franchise QB in the 2016 draft. There will be QBs better than anything this year.saintfool said:

In the 9 games in which Crowell ran the ball 10 times or more, he averaged 4.6ypc. This coupled with 6 TDs in those same games.
... Just something to think about.
Give the kid the rock, and profit. Also, keep in mind the majority of these games came with Mack out of the lineup...

I say this not to be mean and only my opinion:
No Quarterback
No wide receivers
No tight end
Will probably be behind in games
A coach that has shown even though 1 back may be better, he will continue to play the other guy.
No thanks.

Could you inform the Browns of your findings? Seems they are kinda stupid. I could really use the Crow this year.

I don't think anyone can predict. Just guess.

Pretty much lol. We can make educated guesses. But this situation is about as clear as mud. Did the coach play cutesy with the backs, did the backs screw up in practice and cause their own benchings? Nobody know why it was so scattershot. We will know a lot more about CroWest by October.

After last year, I wouldn't be surprised if everything stays the same. An unpredictable timeshare with a coach that talks out of both sides of his mouth and doesn't play the superior runner. I actually don't really see a reason things will change.

But there are some people who decidedly CAN'T predict. I was hopeful for The Crow until Soulfly jumped on board. I've literally never seem him be right about anything at all.

Even in December the esteemed Sigmund Bloom was still undecided about these two players. This offseason Hill's value has skyrocketed while I've heard nary a peep about Crowell. Interesting. I really like Crowell as a dynasty target to be quite honest. I think he's exactly the kind of player you target. His value isn't anywhere near where Hill's is, but Cleveland is making strides. There will be no Josh Gordon circus this season, they have brought in some NFL journeyman (at least) QBs so Manziel is one step closer to the broadcast booth.
I don't see why they can't have production boosts here. The play right now is to get both Crowell and West before the draft and just let their value slowly trickly up.
