The Buffalo Bills won't be getting their workhorse running back Fred Jackson back into his usual allotment of carries against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday, which means they may need some help.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 11: Anthony Dixon
The Bills have a few injuries at running back. Should fantasy owners take a chance on a backup?

Jackson was quiet in Week 10 with just three carries to go with four catches in his first game in two weeks. He is dealing with a groin injury and he’s going to be limited in practice leading up to the divisional game.
While Jackson was getting over his injury, backups Bryce Brown and Anthony Dixon have left a lot to be desired. Brown had an awful fumble against the Kansas City Chiefs and Dixon just can't break loose for big plays.
However, the Bills will really need to get the ground game going, so look for Dixon to get carries in the teens.
Fantasy impact: These guys have lost their luster and missed their chance. Unless you are really desperate, Dixon is not a great fantasy option.
