West ran for a team-leading 42 yards on 11 carries and caught one of three targets for an additional 15 yards in Sunday's win over the Browns.
West received three fewer carries than Justin Forsett, but the latter averaged just 2.6 yards per carry and managed just nine yards on three catches. Forsett has a slight edge in usage and production through two weeks, but it is clear that West will handle a sizable chunk of the backfield touches for the time being. The eventual return of rookie Kenneth Dixon (knee) could change this dynamic, but West should play a prominent role again in Week 3 versus Jacksonville.
