Jets Vs. Bills: New York Wins Big In Buffalo

Kickers are often easily forgotten in the world of fantasy football, but in 2011 Rian Lindell has become a solid option week in and week out thanks to the impressive Bills offense. The team is getting into the red zone with some regularity, which provides him with more scoring opportunities.

At the same time, you do not want to take a zero at the position, so if you have to drop Lindell, it is not the end of the world. There are a few dominant kickers, but for the most part it is fairly easy to find a decent replacement. In considering kickers to add, look for teams that struggle in the red zone and generally struggle on offense. That’s not exactly rocket science, but it is fairly easy to figure out who can help you on the waiver wire.

Johnson had 439 receiving yard on the season with 4 receiving touchdowns entering Week 9. Johnson was averaging 63 yards receiving per game. Johnson’s receiving yards per game were down nearly 5 yards per game from last season.

Johnson was ranked as the 31st ranked wide receiver according to Yahoo! heading into his match up with the New York Jets who rank 7th against the pass, giving up 197 passing yards per game.

Burress had 243 receiving yard on the season with 5 receiving touchdowns entering Week 9. Burress was averaging 35 yards receiving per game.

Buffalo was in press, and all it took to get Sanchez to move was the corner faking a jam. The corner acted like he was going to hit Sanchez off the line, the Jets’ quarterback flinched and backed off before finally lurching into action. Words can’t quite describe this, so here’s video.

Told you it was awesome. Guessing this one will be replayed on blooper reels for quite some time.

It’s nothing surprising for a team with more defensive talent than offensive firepower. But it is a blueprint.

The result moved both the Jets and Bills to 5-3 in 2011.

Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson has returned to action for the Bills. Jackson left in the third quarter with a stinger, according to reports. His return was questionable at the time.

The Bills will be glad to have Jackson back in the mix. At the start of the fourth quarter, they are trying to overcome a 20-3 deficit to the New York Jets.
