*Editor's Note: Since time of publishing, it has been reported that Dixon will "miss some time" due to a knee injury suffered in Sunday's game.
It felt like everyone was on Alex Collins in DFS this past week. And while he was able to save his season-long fantasy owners thanks to a touchdown, it was largely an uninspiring performance from Collins.
Why? Well, he was getting out-carried by Kenneth Dixon. Dixon nearly doubled up Collins in terms of rushing attempts, with 13 compared to Collins' 7, although the Baltimore Ravens holding a huge lead may have skewed things a bit.
But Dixon arguably outplayed him, too.

None of this surprises me

Against a Vontaze Burfict-less Cincinnati Bengals team next week, Dixon makes for an intriguing flex play, especially in standard leagues based on Javorius Allen hogging the passing down work.
