I haven't seen anything other than " he will receive more touches" since his last outing. I think it's being taken for granted that he is starting. Anyone hear for sure that he is?
Chiefs offensive coordinator Bill Muir confirmed that Jackie Battle will be the team's feature back, at least for the time being. Thomas Jones is going to lose his role in the offense. "We basically have a plan in terms of not equally distributing the carries," Muir admitted. "As a staff, we’ve always known (Jackie) has talent. Now that he the opportunity to carry the ball, I think that’s a significant thing." Battle is averaging 5.4 yards through his first 29 carries, and could be in line for as many as 25 totes against the Raiders on Sunday. Dexter McCluster will be a situational passing-down back moving forward. Oct 22 - 12:30 PM
Week 13
QB - Tim Tebow WR - Hakeem Nicks WR - Dez Bryant RB - Ray Rice RB - Ryan Mathews TE - Jermichael Finley W/R/T - Vincent Jackson BN - Tony Romo BN - Julio Jones BN - Roy Helu BN - Ben Tate BN - Kevin Smith K - Mason Crosby D - Houston
Lies. Committee situation in KC must have screwed lots of guys who started Battle this week over better options, including myself. (I played him in the flex over Antonio Gates. UGH.)
12 Team $ (PPR + Return Yardage):
QB: Tom Brady, Andy Dalton RB: Charles, Lynch, Martin, Stewart, DeAngelo Williams, Rashad jennings, Joe McKnight, Leon Washington WR/TE: Antonio Brown, Brandon Lloyd, Randall Cobb, Ted Ginn K: Bryant DST: Bills
He still got 16 touches..McCluster and Jones did combine for 19 but that game was well into garbage time when they started getting more work. Plus Battle at least had that long run towards the end..not a standout performance, and not thrilled that he didn't get either of the short yardage TDs, but on a bye week or if you are fighting RB injuries I guess you could do worse. He's no Demarco Murray though
