BUF RB Mike Gillislee - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs Cleveland
After scoring two touchdowns the previous week, Mike Gillislee had only two carries against Pittsburgh. The problem with him from a fantasy standpoint is you might have to depend him to score TDs to have value and that is always hit or miss.

The matchup is great this week, as the Browns are 31st in aFPA to running backs. But it would probably be best to keep Gillislee on the bench this week, as he just outside the starting flex or RB3s for Week 15.

BUF RB Mike Gillislee - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs Pittsburgh
It wasn't even known if Mike Gillislee would play last Sunday, but he ended up making a major fantasy impact. He carried the ball just eight times for 49 yards, but cashed in with two rushing touchdowns. The scores alone make Gillislee fantasy relevant, but will his role be the goal line back moving forward?

The Bills running backs have a good matchup this week against the Steelers, who are 25th in aFPA to the position. However, the amount of touches Gillislee had is an issue. Yes, touchdowns are great, but it's hard to start a back based on the fact he might score touchdowns. For that reason, we recommend Gillislee stay on the bench for Week 14.

BUF RB Mike Gillislee - Week 9, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Seattle
Mike Gillislee had his best game of the season with 12 carries for 85 yards and a touchdown last week. Keep an eye on the injury report to see if LeSean McCoy can go. If he can't, Gillislee will be the featured back and should get anywhere from 10 to 15 touches. However, if McCoy does play, Gillislee loses almost all his fantasy value.

For now, we will assume he is playing and it won't be easy on the road in Seattle. The Seahawks are No. 1 in aFPA to running backs and are outstanding at home. Gillislee still rates a low-end RB 2 for Week 9 as he still will get touches, but don't expect numbers like last week.

BUF RB Mike Gillislee - Week 8, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. New England
LeSean McCoy surprised everyone last week by playing, but it might have been a mistake as he had to leave in the second half with an aggravated hamstring injury. Since McCoy still was in the linuep, Mike Gillislee's impact was limited. It doesn't appear the Bills will try to push McCoy in the lineup again, so Gillislee should benefit this week.

The Patriots have been very good against the run ranked fourth in aFPA to running backs. However, Gillislee should get enough touches to still pile up some fantasy points.

Start Gillslee as a low-end RB2 for Buffalo, as long as Shady doesn't make another surprising start.

BUF RB Mike Gillislee - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Miami
With LeSean McCoy out, Mike Gillislee will get the start for Buffalo. He has shown some positives in his limited action this season, but the biggest question is how will Buffalo use him? McCoy had been the focus of the running game and a weapon in the passing game. Will Gillislee get 20 touches? There is a very good chance he will.

Miami is sixth in aFPA to running backs, so the matchup favors the defense, but the touches that Gillislee will get gives him high value for Week 7. Start Gillislee as a high-end RB2 for Week 7.

BUF RB Mike Gillislee - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Mike Gillislee was able to get some playing time in his first season with Buffalo due to injuries on the running back depth chart. He showed enough to remain in the Bills plan and with Karlos Williams suspended for four games, he moves in to LeSean McCoy's backup role to start the 2016 season. He did average 5.7 yards per carry.

Fantasy Downside
Most likely when Williams returns Week 5,Gillislee's role will be diminshed so his draft value is for four games. It's potluck after that.

2016 Bottom Line
Gillislee has some value for those first four games, but after that, it will probably be Karlos Williams as the backup again. Drafting Gillislee, but having him ready off the waiver wire is a good idea as he has some value in deep leagues for the first four games.

BUF RB Mike Gillislee - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs New York Jets

Mike Gillislee made the most of his nine carries, rushing for 93 yards and touchdown. Fellow running back Karlos Williams played twice as many snaps to frequency is a concern. One thing to keep in mind is Williams did lose a fumble and if that happens early Sunday, Gillislee could see more carries.

The matchup favors the Jets in the running game as they are 8th in aFPA to running backs. Gillislee still has some value as an RB3 or flex. Two touchdowns the past week is a good indication that he will get opportunities in the red zone.
