Fred Jackson Placed on IR

The Bills bandwagon hit another bump today as star running back Fred Jackson has been lost for the season with a fractured fibula. Through Week 11, he had the second-highest rushing DYAR in the league, and had been mentioned on the fringes of the midseason MVP conversation.

Former first-rounder C.J. Spiller will get the lion's share of the carries for the rest of the year.

Major fantasy news anyway.

I believe you mean that Spiller will get the Bills' share of the carries. The Lions' share probably belongs to Kevin Smith, though I don't know how anyone could trust him after Jersey Girl.

I can't tell if this is dense or joking.

Inability to detect sarcasm can be a sign of early dementia. Either that or you're from California. Judging from your screen name I'm guessing it's not the latter, sorry.

I'm one of the very few people alive who actually liked Jersey Girl, particularly the Will Smith material, though he wasn't really in a position to carry it, being a defensive end, not a running back. Possibly he gets the Saints' share of the sack, which given his eminently employable status as Hollywood's biggest star may explain the lousiness of their pass rush.

You had to go and jinx Kevin Smith, didn't you?

Sorry that was me. I picked up Kevin Smith to replace Jackson. Good times.

My early season Cam Newton for Matt Schaub/Fred Jackson trade now looks brilliant!
