With Ben Tate reportedly likely to miss 2-4 weeks, West is in line to see an expanded role in the Browns' backfield, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Analysis:

In relief of Tate, who had six carries prior to his exit in Week 1, West recorded 16 carries for 100 yards, which suggests that he'll have a chance to lead the way for the Browns on Sunday against the Saints. Isaiah Crowell, who carried five times for 32 yards with a pair of TDs this past Sunday, also figures to see added looks in Week 2, but either way, West's short-term value gets a boost due to Tate's injury.
