Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone said that the running back touches for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs were split based on who was able to practice throughout the week, according to Tim Graham of The Buffalo News. Fred Jackson, the most reliable runner on the team, didn't see a whole lot of action and spent much of the game on the sideline. That's because he was dealing with a groin injury going into that game.
Fred Jackson’s fantasy value iffy as Bills split carries
Fred Jackson saw limited action on Sunday against the Chiefs. We break down the fantasy implications.
Tom Szczerbowski
Jackson was a game-time decision after being a limited participant in practice throughout the week. Jackson only wound up touching the ball seven times while rushing for just 10 yards. Anthony Dixon had nine carries for 62 yards while Bryce Brown had seven carries for 35 yards and six receptions for 65 yards.
Fantasy Impact: The Bills now have a short week to prepare for the Miami Dolphins on Thursday. If Jackson isn't 100 percent, he could see limited practice time again, which likely means another week of limited carries in a running back rotation. None of the Bills running backs truly have much fantasy value at this point.
