Ben Tate, Isaiah Crowell, Terrance West's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 10

Just when it seemed the Cleveland Browns running back committee was figured out, Ben Tate took the reins yet again. Then it was back to Isaiah Crowell. Shortly after, it was Terrance West leaping into the end zone.

Such is life when trusting running backs in the Cleveland backfield.

With Andrew Hawkins and Jordan Cameron out, per Richard Skinner of the Enquirer, the Browns relied more on the running game. As a result, it was Tate who got off to a hot start against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Tate's first carry of the game on Thursday Night Football went for a four-yard touchdown. As Dan Murphy of the Browns' PR department notes, Tate's emergence has been huge for a once-maligned rushing offense:

A week after barely breaking three points for fantasy owners, Tate already doubled that score on one carry. Needless to say, owners who gave up faith were sorely disappointed with either benching or dropping him.

On the next possession, it was Crowell who made his mark on the game. The rookie has made a huge impact on red-zone carries this season, as Mike Clay of Pro Football Focus notes:

Meanwhile, West was also getting touches out of the backfield as the team moved down the field. Both Tate and Crowell were impactful near the goal line, but West yet again stole carries prior to that point.

Matthew Berry of ESPN passed along the emotional roller coaster for West owners:

As they typically do with Cleveland, things quickly changed later in the game. West would find pay dirt as well, spreading joy to owners of all three backs, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com shared:

Suffice it to say, nothing is guaranteed with any of the Browns running backs this season. Tate had two games with touchdowns prior to Thursday night, while Crowell's touches are typically limited.

Owning any of the backs at this point is a coin toss for owners who simply have to hope for production. All three are worth owning in deep fantasy leagues but are limited to a flex-only role in good matchups—like playing against Cincinnati's rush defense.

If any back seems to have the lead for now, it's West after carrying most of the load. But on a team where the hot hand typically gets the ball, there's no telling who will thrive on a weekly basis.
