</TD></TR><TR><TD vAlign=top colSpan=3>Bills coach Dick Jauron said he plans on "evenly distributing" the backfield workload between Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson now that Lynch is off suspension.
Jauron said he wants to be careful not to overload Jackson, who had 61 carries and 15 catches in the first three weeks. Both Lynch and Jackson said they don't care who starts, but expect Jackson to get a little more work this week against Miami while Lynch is "weaned" back in.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>The Bills are going with Jackson even though they have Roscoe Parrish, who led the league in punt returns in each of the last two seasons. Jackson's role on offense has declined sharply in his last two games, with just 14 total touches in Weeks 7 and 8 combined. He's not even a flex play this week.

Lynch didn't play in the final two quarters after the injury, but Monday's MRI apparently produced good results. "He’s feeling much better," said Fewell. "We’ll see how he feels (Tuesday) and continue from there." The Bills play a Miami team in Week 12 that just lost NT Jason Ferguson for the year, but it appears Fred Jackson won't get another chance to be the featured back.

The Bills said this week that Lynch was considered "day to day," and he didn't appear to be in any pain on the sidelines of last week's loss after the injury. He's a good bet to suit up Sunday against Miami, though Fred Jackson is eating into more and more of Lynch's carries. Avoid this situation in fantasy.

"I made that decision (to start Jackson) really during the course of the week, just watching us practice, watching our tempo and just gut instinct," Fewell said. "Fred has been very productive." Jackson got 20 touches, gaining 118 yards and scoring twice, compared to Lynch's 15 yards on four chances. The Bills are unlikely to go back to Lynch as long as Jackson is playing well.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Asked why Marshawn Lynch didn't receive more action after finally outproducing Jackson, Fewell responded: "Fred is still our featured back. We're just trying to get our playmakers the football. It wasn't a conscious effort to not give Marshawn the football." Lynch will continue to receive 8-10 touches per game, which may leave F-Jax as borderline RB2 going forward.
