Buffalo Bills running back Anthony Dixon received the first-team reps in practice on Wednesday. Running back Kraig Urbik also picked up some first-team reps in practice.
Anthony Dixon getting first-team reps, remains a fantasy question mark
Dixon looks like the starter for right now. Should fantasy owners trust him against the Jets?

The Bills are going to be without C.J. Spiller for the rest of the season and Fred Jackson is expected to be out for four weeks. The Bills made backup Bryce Brown a healthy scratch in Week 7, but he'll also be in the mix for carries.
There has been a lot of positive buzz about Brown and the team picked him up from the Philadelphia Eagles because he could be a star -- what else are they going to say, though?
This week, the Bills get a horrible matchup against the New York Jets, who have been very good at shutting down the ground game. Basically, we'll get a look at how the distribution of the carries goes, but it should result in fantasy value.
Fantasy impact: Brown and Dixon should be owned in all leagues. Dixon won’t be featured and Brown certainly could be, so he’s the preferred grab at the moment. As mentioned, they both should probably be on your bench this week.
