Buffalo Bills running backs Boobie Dixon and Bryce Brown both returned to practice on Thursday, according to The Buffalo News’ Tyler Dunne. Dixon has been dealing with a calf injury while Brown has been struggling with a hamstring ailment.
Fantasy Impact: Both running backs saw time carrying the ball last year when Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller suffered injuries. Of the two, Dixon probably has more upside. Brown is pretty much a career complimentary talent.

From a fantasy perspective, neither running back offers much value to owners unless LeSean McCoy goes down with an injury and an opportunity for a spot start presents itself.
Shady has missed regular-season games throughout his career getting banged up every once in a while, but he’s still the workhorse at the end of the day.
While Dixon and Brown will be seeing the field in the team’s preseason finale and getting their share of practice touches, the backfield in Buffalo belongs to McCoy.
