Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson To Split Carries

Fred Jackson has had a great first three weeks for the Buffalo Bills, but now Marshawn Lynch will be back this weekend against the Dolphins. So, what will this mean to Jackson and Lynch owners? Well, Coach Jauron is looking for an even split.

“Now Marshawn’s back and we’ll take some of that load off [Fred] and evenly distribute it because both those guys are good. It’ll make us a better team.”

Fred Jackson seems to be okay with it:

“I’m probably more excited than anybody that [Lynch] is back. He’s a playmaker on this offense... He brings back a different energy and we’re excited about that.”

But what should fantasy owners do? The Dolphins have a tough rush defense so any back only getting half the carries isn’t a no-brainer. I expect Lynch to be eased back, but to eventually get the majority of the carries. You can put in either at flex position this week, but don’t expect starter numbers.
