It looks like Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson is going to sit out against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 on Thursday Night Football. Jackson was limited in practice this week, but reports have popped up that the short week was just too much to overcome.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 11: Bryce Brown
Bryce Brown is suddenly an interesting play this week. We break down the fantasy implications.

If that is the case, running back Bryce Brown should be an interesting option. He is coming off a very poor game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to an egregious fumble into the end zone, which proved costly. Brown has also had a lot of fumbles from his days in Philadelphia.
Brown will likely split the carries with Anthony Dixon, but he's much more likely to be involved in the passing attack. The Dolphins blitz a lot and defensive end Cameron Wake has been a terror to opposing quarterbacks, so he could be heavily involved on swing passes and dump offs.
Fantasy impact: This is one of the riskiest situations imaginable with a short week, a backup coming off a bad fumble, and in a bad matchup, so fantasy owners will need a little slice of crazy to start Brown in a PPR league. If you hate your other options, there’s enough upside, though.
