Running Back Rank: #23
Overall: #41
Lynch has been productive in two seasons, but still not reached that status of elite back just yet. He barely broke the 1,000-yard mark rushing last season and scored nine touchdowns. Most disturbing was his up and down production. He had five games with fewer than 50-rushing yards, but six with 75 or more rushing yards. He needs to find more consistency. Lynch was a much bigger factor in the passing game, though, catching 47 passes. Lynch is a solid between the tackles runner with big-play ability. He has top speed, especially when he gets in the open field. Lynch needs to continue to work on his patience, though, and take what opposing teams give him. An offseason run in with the law has landed Lynch a three-game suspension to start the season.

This is his third-year in the league, so you have to like his chances for a big season when he finally steps on the field. He certainly has the ability to be a top No. 1 fantasy back. Don't draft him based on ability, though. He is more of a third or fourth round pick based off the last couple seasons and his team. |

| Buffalo Bills RB Marshawn Lynch and RB Fred Jackson probably will see an equal amount of playing tine in Week 5. Jackson played 60 percent of the snaps in Week 4, while Lynch saw 40 percent. |
| Fantasy Impact: A timeshare is likely with these two the rest of the season. Plan accordingly. |

| Fantasy Impact: Lynch will get some playing time this week, but will at least share carries with Fred Jackson, making him an iffy fantasy play. |

| Chris Brown, of BuffaloBills.com, reports Buffalo Bills RB Marshawn Lynch, who had a good burst in his step, was given the bulk of the workload during the opening of training camp Saturday, July 25. He was followed by RBs Fred Jackson and Dominic Rhodes, respectively, in the rotation. RB Xavier Omon also was given some reps from time to time. |

| Chris Brown, of BuffaloBills.com, reports the Buffalo Bills coaching staff wants to effectively manage the carries of RB Marshawn Lynch this season due to his physical running style. The coaching staff plans to do so by making use of RBs Fred Jackson and Dominic Rhodes in 2009. To what degree the two will be used to spell Lynch remains to be seen. The Bills plan to run with more no huddle this season, so the added tempo will reduce time between snaps and wear running backs out quicker. Lynch, by the way, has bulked up to 230 pounds, but he said the extra mass has not caused him to lose a step this year. |

| Mark Gaughan, of The Buffalo News, reports Buffalo Bills RB Marshawn Lynch appears stronger than ever during spring practices. He has bulked up to 230 pounds. 'I put some mass on,' Lynch said. 'I'll see how that's going to work.' Lynch is up a good 10 pounds from last year's listed weight of 215 pounds, but he said he still feels good about his speed and hasn't lost a step. Lynch feels the extra weight will allow him to maintain a good playing weight during the season. |
| Fantasy Impact: He'll probably lose some of that weight, but adding some muscle isn't a bad thing for Lynch. He should produce solid numbers when on the field this season. |
