Still Brees-ing on by?


Will Drew Brees' continue to dominate?  We feel that he has a very good chance of duplicating or bettering his week 2 performance. The Bills have given up an average of 332 yards  through the air per game this season.  Yes, Leodis McKelvin has shown people that he can be a shut down corner, but  New Orleans might just have too many offensive weapons. If Marques Colston is shut down on the outside, the Bills still need to cover Jeremy Shockey, Devery Henderson, and Robert Meachem.  Not to mention a dual threat running back in Reggie Bush. Yes, Lance Moore appears to be out for the game, but we still feel the Saints' offense is just to much for the Bills to handle.  Expect somewhere around 350 yards and at least 3 touchdowns passing from Brees today.  Obviously a must start in all formats, you can tell your opponent to Feel The Brees!

What to do with Fred Jackson?


What can we expect from RB Fred Jackson, of the Buffalo Bills after week 3 in a Fantasy perspective?  Sunday will be Fred Jackson's last chance to prove to coach Dick Jauron he is worthy of a starting role.  Marshawn Lynch is eligible to return week 4 against the Miami Dolphins, after serving a 4 game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.  This puts Roto-players, as well Jauron in a very tough situation.  According to BuffaloBills.com, when coach Jauron was asked about the scenario he had this to say, "I think I'll think about it after this week," said Jauron. "We've said all along we've felt like we have more than two (running backs)."  
What does this tell us?  If Fred Jackson comes anywhere close to duplicating his week 2 performance, (he carried the ball 28 times for a total of 163 yards)  against the New Orleans Saints week 3, he will likely be seeing the majority of the workload week 4.  The New Orleans Saints have given up an average of just 56 yards per game on the ground this season.  That is a deceiving stat, considering the fact that the Saints have been ahead of their opponent the majority of the time, causing their opponents to have a pass heavy offense. 
What we expect out of the upcoming position battle?  The Roto Maestros project,  25 carries for 125 yards on the ground with 2 rushing touchdowns, as well as 30 yards receiving out of the backfield week 3 for Jackson.  It is highly likely that Jackson will see a majority of the Bills carries until he is unable to produce.  Yes, Lynch's work ethic has improved dramatically as compared to that of a year ago, but how can Jauron bench a guy that is averaging 110 yards per game, for a team that should be 2-0?  Let week 3 play-out, and if Fred Jackson is anywhere as productive as our projections, he is a must-start week 4.
