The Facts:
Lynch's receiving numbers were surprisingly low last year despite being known as an every down back coming out of Cal, but there was a reason that was the case. Often times Lynch was not on the field in any situation where it was 3rd-and-3 or greater. Now a year later, a season wiser and with no wily veteran back on the roster, Lynch figures to be the true every down back the Bills envisioned him to be when they drafted him 12th overall in 2007.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Despite missing three games with a high ankle sprain Lynch rolled up 1,115 rushing yards and scored a team-leading seven touchdowns. His most surprising stats however, were on the receiving end, where he had just 18 receptions. OC Turk Schonert is convinced that will change this fall. "I anticipate him being in on third down a lot more," said Schonert of Lynch. "He's had a year, he understands the protections now and I think this year he'll be an integral part of our third down package." And that should translate into more receptions.
