Terrance West has been a productive running back this season, but he is in a bit of a slump that is threatening his starting job security.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 10: Terrance West an easy call vs. Browns
The Browns have been gashed by nearly every running back they’ve faced, which is great news for Terrance West.

Since Week 2, West has rushed for 413 yards and three scores on 99 carries (4.2 avg.). However, he has just 31 yards and no scores on 23 carries over his last two games. That was against the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets, who have been among the worst run defenses over the past five weeks.
That is why Kenneth Dixon has gotten more touches as of late. He got 11 (nine rushes and two catches) in last week’s win over Pittsburgh, which could signal more chances for him if West keeps struggling.
The good news is West should do well this week when his Baltimore Ravens host the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks West as the 15th-best running back in Week 10. He faces a Cleveland defense allowing the third-most fantasy points to running backs this season.
