Marshawn Lynch

[padrino990_200]

Ok so he's back this week. i really need him to contribute in one of my leagues. with how jackson has been playing what do you think his impact will be?

[lugmetric]

my guess is that it starts as a 60/40 split in favor of jackson to start, and gradually it will work its way to 70/30 the other way with lynch doing a lot of the 1st and 2nd down grinding, and jackson on 3rd downs and the occasional series to spell lynch. i think both will be effective fantasy options going forward, and buffalo will run a lot as the weather turns nasty later in the season. jackson should still continue to catch a fair amount of passes.

i have no evidence to back this up, i'm just going with what i think is a logical outcome.

i agree for the most part, the first few games for Marshawn they will ease him into play shape, so expect a similar role as the panthers/ nyg running game ala J.Stewart and A.Bradshaw....but after that its going be Lynch ~75% or more of the time...Fred Jackson is a nice change of pace for their every down back in Lynch who is capable of catching balls out of the backfield and taking goal line duties.... Jackson did a nice job filling in when Lynch was suspended, but dont expect much from Jackson as the season goes on...

I'm leaning towards this, partially b/c Fred Jackson didn't do too well last game. Also his 1 TD was from far out on a reception.

I think this week, he may get 10-12 Reps, but like has been said they will work him more into action after this week..He has some pretty nice matchups (except the Jets, Tenn) coming up

Mia 2x, Cle, Carolina, HOU , Jags, KC

MIA is not a good matchup, in fact, it's really really bad.
