Ben Tate is active and creates a fantasy mess in Browns backfield
Ben Tate is active against the Titans. We break down the fantasy implications.

For the past week, the prevailing thought on the team is that Tate will be around 15 touches today. The Titans have been prone to giving up big plays, so a 15-touch allotment could lead to close to 100 yards and possibly a score.
While Tate was out, undrafted free agent running back Isaiah Crowell has looked fantastic. He boasts a 5.2 yards-per-carry average and a team-high three rushing touchdowns on the season. He's likely leapfrogged Terrance West, who had some major issues in the preseason.
Fantasy impact: None of these guys are a must-start, but Tate is a high-upside RB2 this week. Fantasy owners should continue to stash Crowell, who would become a very strong asset should Tate go down -- a common occurrence.
