The Buffalo Bills depth at running back will take another hit on Sunday with the announcement that LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams will both miss this week's game versus the Tennessee Titans.
McCoy missed last week's game with a hamstring injury and was expected to miss the next two-to-three weeks, giving him time for an injury he suffered in training camp to heal. Williams got the start against the New York Giants, but it was revealed after the game he had a concussion and would go through the concussion protocol this week.
After missing practice all week, it became clear that Williams would not be suiting up on Sunday. He was officially ruled out this afternoon by the Bills, opening the door for Boobie Dixon to start in his place. Buffalo signed Dan Herron earlier in the week to provide more insurance at the position in case Williams was out.
This is not the type of matchup DFS players would ideally want to target if you want to play a cheap running back. Tennessee has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season and Dixon might share carries with Herron. It's best to just stay away from Dixon this week.
