The Facts:
Fully aware of Lynch’s physically demanding running style, Buffalo's coaching staff wants to effectively manage his carries and plan on doing so by making use of Jackson and Rhodes. To what degree remains to be seen.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
So wrote BuffaloBills.com staffer Chris Brown, who notes that Lynch is as tough as they come but also reminds readers that a severe high ankle sprain in 2007 and a badly bruised shoulder in 2008 cost Lynch four and a half games over his first two years. That's not surprising; the more hits a back takes, the more likely they are to suffer an injury. Hence the addition of Dominic Rhodes, who joins Fred Jackson in the rotation behind Lynch. ... Remember: Lynch will also be limited by what's currently a three-game suspension to open the season. Making accurate projections will be tough, but it's still safe to assume a healthy (and perhaps fresher than usual) Lynch will still be a serious Fantasy producer -- maybe more so down the stretch (when it counts the most).
