New England Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount seems to have won the lion's share of the carries. He ran the ball 20 times last week against the San Diego Chargers to go with two catches. Meanwhile, Jonas Gray had just two carries and Shane Vereen had just one.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 15: LeGarrette Blount
LeGarrette Blount has become the primary weapon on the ground for the Patriots. Is that enough to trust him this week in fantasy?

The Patriots have been throwing the ball a lot more, but they are putting enough points on the board. That should help Blount get some chances at the goal line against a very stout Miami Dolphins defense. Although, their rush defense hasn't been great as the 11th-easiest matchup for fantasy running backs. That rank has a lot to do with their awful three-game stretch leading into this game. The Dolphins allowed 176.3 yards to running backs over their last three, so Blount could keep it going.
Fantasy impact: The upside isn’t going to be too high because he’s very unlikely to get 20 carries again, but the chance of him scoring makes him an RB2 this week.
