Bishop Sankey, Dexter McCluster, Jackie Battle's Post-Week 6 Fantasy Reaction

Without running back Shonn Greene in the fold for Sunday's contest against a poor Jacksonville Jaguars run defense, rookie Bishop Sankey got the start for the Tennessee Titans, while Dexter McCluster and Jackie Battle received some extra work as well.

Here's how the trio of ball-carriers fared on Sunday:

Player	Car	Yds	Avg	TD	Rec	Yds
Bishop Sankey	18	61	3.4	0	1	7
Dexter McCluster	2	6	3.0	0	6	52
Jackie Battle	1	1	1.0	1	0	0

Sankey entered the game with an average of 4.7 yards per carry and appeared poised to do some damage. Unfortunately for his fantasy owners, he didn't exactly get off to a hot start, carrying seven times for just 12 yards in the first half. Making matters worse, the Titans awarded a goal-line carry to Battle in the second quarter.

ESPN's fantasy guru Matthew Berry tweeted his thoughts:

If Sankey's red-zone opportunities continue to be few and far between, he will remain as no more than a flex option—even without Greene in the mix.

Speaking of Battle, his first-half touchdown was nice; although, it was also his only carry through 30 minutes of action. If Greene were to miss a significant amount of time, he may be worth a waiver-wire pickup, but only as a handcuff to Sankey.

McCluster holds the same value as Battle, but for a different reason. He continues to be the team's best receiving option out of the backfield, and a 25-yard catch and run early on Sunday proved just that. Greene's absence allows McCluster some extra touches, but his value rests as a desperation flex option for needy fantasy owners in deep PPR leagues.
