Isaiah Crowell, Terrance West's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 12

Can you say platoon?

Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West sure can. The pair appear to be firmly sharing the workload at this point and were each given a fair share of touches on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Of course, the difference between them for fantasy owners was that Crowell reached the end zone twice, marking the third straight game he's scored seven or more fantasy points.    

Player	Rushes	Rush Yards	Receptions	Receiving Yards	TD	Fantasy Points
Isaiah Crowell	12	88	0	0	2	20
Terrance West	14	62	1	9	0	6

While both young players have performed well this season, there's no doubt that Crowell is the more explosive option. That makes him the more appealing option for fantasy owners, as Crowell has the ability to turn any touch into a score.

Still, the presence of West means that even Crowell is only a flex consideration at this point. Until one of these players establishes himself as a true lead back, they'll continue to siphon fantasy value from one another. Crowell is the player you want out of this platoon for now, but even that could change at any time.

Consider this backfield a fluid situation. 

Hit me up on Twitter—I'll answer your fantasy questions and make some corny jokes, too. It's more fun than imagining what Mike Evans will do for an encore after his monstrous rookie season.
