FUGLY

beast mode


Flat out...there is not an uglier player in the league.   Ohhh those choppers.    If he wasn't the inspiration for the show Ugly Betty, he should have been.  He would have been infinitely more effective in the game back when they played with no face masks.  One look at that mug and a defender would have been bound to freeze in his steps...or possibly turn to stone.   Besides being beaten hard with an ugly stick, he's also not that bright.  Ok, he's stupid.   If he's not running over pedestrians and bailing on the scene, he's tugging on a bowl and getting caught with a loaded gun.  A GM's dream come true.

2008

Marshawn under-delivered in his 2nd season.  He was a standout rookie for fantasy owners in 2007 with some fairly solid stats putting up 1,299 total yards and seven total TDs while missing three games due to a sprained ankle.  He played in two more games in '08 and posted similar numbers but lost touches to fellow sophomore and backup Fred Jackson (167 touches).  Jackson averaged more yards per carry and yards per reception than Lynch last year; a decent clip more.  This sets the stage for more of this type of loathsome RBBC situation to develop.

2009 Fantasy Outlook

Marshawn has been suspended for three games to start '09.  He showed to OTAs with 15 pounds of added muscle, which no one thought he needed.  It remains to be seen if this will cost him some quickness at the line.  He's already rolled an ankle in training camp.  Between all that and the emergence of Fred Jackson, it's hard to get excited about Lynch... even with TO's arrival.  Yeah, TO will force defenses to dedicate a second defensive back to his side of the field, but that also benefits Fred Jackson.  There's no guarantee that Trent Edwards will be able to get TO the ball anyway, and if that happens, TO will suck the will to compete out of the entire team.  Dick Jauron has no idea what he has coming.    


In case we haven't been clear, we remain lukewarm on Lynch in '09.  We suppose you could do worse having him as your second RB, but it's tough to buy-in on the guy with all of the risks involved.  We see him as the 68th RB off of fantasy draft boards this year.  If you are patient and able to land him here, there certainly is upside with the TO X-factor, but then you also should plan for Fred Jackson as well (see below Handcuff).

Handcuff

Fred Jackson - Fred is a required handcuff if you land Lynch.  He should be able to be picked up late, too.  His 167 touches cannot make him much of a target, but he makes a great insurance policy should Lynch go down.

Injury Report

Yellow

Lynch missed three games in ’07 due to an ankle injury and one game in ’08 due to a shoulder injury. And although suspensions are not injuries, missed games are all the same. Beware.

Breaking News

Lynch practice in full Wednesday expand +

Bills running back Marshawn Lynch went through a full practice today after sitting out the second half of the game last week with a shoulder injury.

Pyro's Take:

Lynch will play this week, but can barely be used as a flex on your fantasy football team as Fred Jackson continues to eat into his touches and playing time.

Bills activate Marshawn Lynch from suspended list expand +

The Buffalo Bills activated running back Marshawn Lynch from the suspended list on Thursday.

Pyro's Take:

"We're probably bringing Marshawn along slowly," offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said. "Let him get back into it physically."
Basically, keep him on your fantasy football bench until otherwise noted.

Lynch and Jackson to split carries? expand +

Bills coach Dick Jauron had this to say about running back Marshawn Lynch coming off his three-game suspension: "Now Marshawn's back and we'll take some of that load off [Fred Jackson] and evenly distribute it because both those guys are good. It'll make us a better team."

Pyro's Take:

Fred was a diamond in the fantasy football rough for the first three weeks of the season, but it seems time to stash him back on your bench as "Fugly" Lynch works himself back in the fold.

Suspended Lynch still making plays expand +

According to Buffalo Bills beat writer Mark Gaughan, starting RB Marshawn Lynch "had a good run around end for a TD of about 8 yards," and on another play "burst up a big hole through the middle" in 11-on-11 drills.

Pyro's Take:

Lynch is suspended for the first three games of the season, but apparently he's not letting that affect his play. However, we expect backup Fred Jackson to do well starting in Lynch's place, and Lynch's role could be diminished as the season progresses.

Marshawn Lynch's suspension upheld expand +

Lynch will sit out the first three games of the season after losing his appeal on Monday. The Bills starting RB was suspended for violating the personal conduct policy in April.

Pyro's Take:

This is obviously bad news for Lynch, but it could be even worse if backup RB Fred Jackson shines in those three games. Jackson has the ability to do well and either way, RB coach Eric Studesville said that Jackson will get more touches this year, cutting into Lynch's share.
