Lynch Working Hard
Wish I could be posting here more often, but other responsibilities keep interfering.
***
I was scrolling through our Workload Report and noticed a surprising name atop the offensive percentage list for the season: Marshawn Lynch
Lynch has received a touch or target on 43% of Buffalo's plays. If the Bills weren't dead last in the league in plays-per-game, Lynch would have huge totals.
Remember when Dick Jauron said Lynch would have to split carries? Yeah, that didn't last too long.
Although Lynch's averages aren't great so far, I think all the work is a good sign for his value over the next 12 weeks. If Buffalo can cobble together any semblance of a passing game, Lynch's numbers will start looking good.

Gregg, a little off-topic here. Do you know how many people are participating in the 100KFC? I'd feel a lot better about my current rank (~14,000th) if it were out of, say, 1 million, than out of 40,000. Thanks!

I'm not at liberty to say but you are doing much better than average - I'll say that.

On the Marshawn Lynch topic, who has more value in a PPR league Lynch or R. Bush?

I vividly remember Jauron repeatedly saying that Lynch would share carries. Pair that tidbit with Buffalo's perenially anemic offense, and I wanted no part of Lynch in our draft.
Was Jauron just messin' with fantasyheads or what?

uh, why is the number of folks participating in the 100KFC top secret?
seems a little ridiculous to me. you should be able to view the entire standings.
i took a hit week before last picking grossman as my sunday night jerkoff, from 5100 to 9800.
jumped back up to 5900 this week. thanks, randy.
the only event in the known universe that has ever made me like/appreciate the patriots at all.
i expect the standings to fluctuate a lot more in the coming weeks, with who you played when coming into play more than in the first couple weeks.
