Has it been figured out who is getting the carries, Brown or Dixon?

could be off on that, thought I remember reading that but looked like he did well the last 2 preseason games if that means much.

Dixon thinks he'll start, FJAX personally called Brown an "every down back" at this point you go with the upside.

Zac could get 25 carries this week. We had some things in early this week. It was working so we decided to stay with ‘Mase.' It’s nothing that Zac has done or hasn’t done. He’s been a little banged up the last couple of weeks, but obviously he’s an outstanding runner as well. We clearly have significant depth there at the position."

Mason has more upside than Brown does in my opinion. Not sure how much upside one player can have when he has been inactive and has 2 games in his career to hang his hat on. At least Mason has done something relevant this year.

Could get and is going to get are two completely different tunes. He could also get 0 touches like last week.

Brown still has more relevant games than mason and it's already been stated why he's been inactive it's not hard to comprehend

I don't believe this. Buffalo doesn't know how to use Spiller correctly. Sure Jackson is better than Spiller at what Buffalo asks of a RB, but I'm certain either A) Buffalo's coaches have some sort of grudge against Spiller or B) are just completely inept and don't know talent if it hit them in the face. They constantly force Spiller to run between the tackles, when we all know that's not the strength of his game, yet they don't want to find ways to get him out in space where he's most dangerous. You put Spiller on the Chiefs, Eagles etc. He thrives IMO.

Spiller is bolting from Buffalo after this year in FA. And because of this he's already on my sleeper radar for next year, depending on where he goes. He'll be cheap, and if a coach can use him right he can without a doubt be a top-15 back easily.

I would pick up Mason, but he was picked up by a manager in my league last week.

With my RB situation, I have to take what I can get on the waiver wire when a hot-commodity becomes available. The two available in my league are Robinson and Brown. I prefer Brown over any RB that Jax decides to put out there.

Spiller couldnt pass block thus he was never in on passing downs

Which makes me question brown's playing time

Yea he could be back in as soon as 2 weeks

I could see brown taking spillers roll so at the least he could provide some value down the stretch in theory

So Brown is a few week rental, who may split carries with Boobie Dixon in the meantime, who will definitely split carries with FJax when he comes back.
