Fantasy football waiver wire, Week 13: Anthony Dixon optimizes opportunities
Buffalo Bills running back Anthony Dixon rushed 12 times for 54 yards in the win over the New York Jets on Monday night. We bring you the fantasy implications here.
The game was originally scheduled for Sunday but had to be moved due to heavy snow conditions in western New York. The Bills relocated to Detroit and had some limited practice before playing Monday evening. Despite the limited practice time, the Bills blew out the hapless Jets, 38-3. Mike Vick was so bad for the Jets he was replaced by former starter Geno Smith.
Fantasy impact: The Bills' offense has stabilized under Kyle Orton and Dixon got the edge in carries over Jackson, who was dealing with a groin issue but was active and played. Dixon had a healthy 4.5 yards per carry average while Jackson averaged 3.2 yards per carry. The split in the backfield is likely to continue but the numbers were good against a Jets defense that has been stout against the run. The Bills will face Cleveland in Week 13 and the Browns are giving up the 18th-most fantasy points to running backs.
