Terrance West

Week 12 – Terrance West at Atlanta Falcons
Although Terrance West is operating behind Isaiah Crowell, Cleveland’s decision to release Ben Tate earlier this week ensures West will get regular opportunities. While West had just five carries last Sunday in a game where Houston beat up the Browns and won the time of possession battle, Cleveland could easily get back on track against an uninspiring Atlanta defense. West is still a risky flex bet, but this would not be a terrible spot to give him a shot if your choices are limited.

Week 10 – Terrance West at Cincinnati Bengals

In Cleveland’s ongoing game of running back roulette, Terrance West is fairing the best at the moment. Relieving an ineffective Ben Tate, West rushed for 48 yards and caught a touchdown pass in Week 9, playing a key role in Cleveland’s 22-17 victory over Tampa Bay.

And the good times could continue on Thursday night in Cincinnati, as the Bengals yield 139.6 rushing yards per game, one of the worst totals in the NFL. The matchup and an expanded role give West RB2 value, although many owners who have rolled the dice on the various components of the Cleveland backfield have felt like they were playing Russian Roulette. Nevertheless, with six teams on bye, fantasy owners could certainly do worse.

Week 8 – Terrance West vs. Oakland Raiders
The entire Browns team laid an egg last weekend, but Terrance West was especially terrible, rushing for eight yards on five attempts and failing to pick up a first down on two short yardage carries. Although Cleveland’s running back rotation has been a bit unpredictable, West looks to be behind Ben Tate and Isaiah Crowell, taking him off the fantasy radar for the time being.
