Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell remains mired in a backfield committee, but he appears to be getting the upper hand. Crowell got the start in last week's game against the Atlanta Falcons and responded with 88 rushing yards on 12 carries.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 13: Isaiah Crowell
Isaiah Crowell has been the Browns’ leading rusher in recent weeks. Can he keep his momentum going against the Bills?

He's still getting an even split with Terrance West. Crowell got 45 offensive snaps compared to West's 30, but West still led with 14 carries, getting 62 rushing yards. Crowell is listed as the starter in Sunday's Week 13 game against the Buffalo Bills.
Fantasy impact: With Ben Tate out of the picture, it's now just a two-man battle for snaps in Cleveland's backfield. The Browns seem committed to an even split with Crowell and West, but Crowell has shown much more production in his carries. He carries solid RB2 value for the fantasy playoffs, although he'll have a tough matchup with the Bills defense this week. Crowell will be a flex starter with upside now that Josh Gordon is back to keep defenses honest.
