Dillon starting?

[golfer324]

I picked up Pass in case Dillon doesn't play. I read Dillon practiced Wed. & Thuirs. and wondered if anyone heard if Dillon is playing for sure. I know you can never be sure with BB as coach)

 

Thanks

as of this AM , it stated Dillon missed part of Friday's practice , is still listed as questionable but it was said he should play ...knowing how Pats keep their info and injuries under wraps it is not very comforting

 

If you have another suitable option you may want to start him over Dillon or maybe just wait till for another update

Just insert whoever is playing if you can before kickoff.Does your league allow this?

Dillon has been most of the week and will play Sunday night and looks to be mostly recovered from the ankle injury. Almost every Patriot shows up on the injury report weekly but I'd start him he should be good for at least 70 and a td.

Yea but Dillon suited up and just stood there 2 weeks ago.. I have him in right now but may change to Pearman if they say FOR SURE Fred Taylor isn't playing. This is just how much I trust N.E. coaching staff.

 

Dillon for A. Pearman?? see how screwy FF is

Remember what happened last time. Keep Dillon on your bench.

pass was a stud when he filled in, i'd lean towards him, they may want dillon to keep healing for the stretch run, i think the pats can handle the bills without him.....

This is from Friday's Boston Herald. Take it for what it's worth.

 

In discussing Dillon, they wrote:

 

He sat out the following week against Denver but is expected back this weekend against the Bills. He's officially listed as questionable.

 

Dillon's return couldn't come against a better foe. The Bills rank next to last in the NFL in rushing defense, allowing more than 159 yards a game. The Patriots have relied heavily on the pass thus far and would like to see their run-pass ratio change.

 

``We're a much better offense when the run and pass are close percentage-wise,'' center Dan Koppen said. ``We've always had a balanced offense since I've been here. It's important for us to be able to run the ball.''

I have Dillon for the late game or I can go the safe route and start Droughns.

 

 

What do you think? Does droughns tear up Houston?

Roll the dice baby! Go with Dillon.

I'm in the same boat on this one. I really need Dillon this week with Holt, Bulger, Ferguson out and Lav. Coles and Jurevicious on Byes (all on my team). I'm scrambling to put together a full lineup.

 

My choices at RB2 are Dillon, Pass, or CBrown.

 

I thinking of going with Dillon since I need a home run anyway this week to win. If I didn't need the home run I'd likely be playing Brown or Pass since taking a zero is a really tough pill to swallow most weeks.

 

Just a guess but I think Dillow will play this week (nothing but a hunch here though, nothing to back it up) since NE can't afford another loss. If the game gets out of hand either way I can see Dillon getting lots of "rest" though and Pass getting the bulk of the load.
