Similarly to last week, this pick is dependent on injuries. It is almost a given as of Thursday that both Karlos Williams (concussion) and LeSean McCoy (hamstring) will be sitting out on Sunday. The next back up is Boobie Dixon (and Daniel Herron, who was just signed).
Dixon has not seen the field much this season with Williams and McCoy ahead of him, but he has shown promise in his time with the Bills and previous years with the San Francisco 49ers. He does not have the speed that those ahead of him possess, but he has the power to make up for it. He only owns an approximate yard per carry of 3.4 for his career.
This is a touchdown-dependent pick in this week’s meeting with the Titans. His size and strength make him a valuable option in the redzone, especially close to the goal line. He will more than likely lose some work to Herron on third downs, but Boobie should lead the team in touches until the others come back healthy.
Prediction: 70 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown
