With week five a few days away, the Buffalo Bills find themselves in a situation where healthy running backs are hard to come by. Lead back LeSean Mccoy is doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Tenessee Titans because of a nagging hamstring injury that kept him out of last week's game against the Giants.
Second string rookie running back Karlos Williams has produced solid numbers this season scoring a touchdown in all four games so far (three rushing, one receiving). However, Williams suffered a concussion last week against the Giants and is now questionable for week five as he follows the leagues concussion protocol.
If neither Mccoy nor Williams can give it a go for week five, sixth year NFL veteran Anthony "Boobie" Dixon is in line to receive the bulk of the carries. The Tennessee Titans defense has given up 4.3 yards per carry to opposing running backs this season. The fantasy spin would be to remain cautious of breakout dreams for Dixon, but if you are in need of a start because of bye weeks or injury troubles, plug in "Boobie" into your flex spot against a below average Titans run defense.
