Ryan Fitzpatrick (298 total yards, 3 TDs) had a very nice bounce back game for fantasy owners; too bad it came after several stinkers to he was probably not active in about 90% of leagues.  Unfortunately for Fitz, he doesn’t play defense so his stat line wasn’t good enough for the Bills to break their now four game losing streak.  Mark Sanchez (185 total yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT) overcame a tough game early on to throw four TD passes, even though he only threw for 180 yards.
Stevie Johnson (8-75, 1 TD) also had a nice effort after his one catch crap bomb last week at the Cowboys.  Johnson’s day could have been even bigger as he ended up dropping two very catchable passes that most likely would have been touchdowns.  Johnson should concentrate more on catching the ball and less on touchdown dances making fun of Plaxico Burress’s nightclub incident in which he shot himself in the thigh.  Brad Smith (4-77, 1 TD) actually had a very good game against his former team, while Scott Chandler (6-50) has started coming on in the last couple of games to be a valuable play in PPR TE mandatory leagues.  David Nelson (5-47, 1 TD) also had a good game, as the Bills passing game as a whole was able to rebound from several weeks of terrible play.
Dustin Keller (4-61, 2 TDs), Plaxico Burress (4-54, 1 TD), and Santonio Holmes (2-22, 1 TD; 2 car., 28 yards) all caught touchdown passes for the Jets, and all three are decent plays when the matchup dictates.  At this point, the Jets passing game should only be played against defenses that are poor versus the pass, and benched against the better secondaries in the league.

Fred Jackson was placed on IR earlier in the week, so now the Bills turn to CJ Spiller (19 car., 55 yards; 3 rec., 15 yards) for the bulk of the carries.  Spiller did a decent job against a tough defense, and might be worth a look in future matchups against defenses that are easier to run on, as the Bills are obviously going to give him as much a shot as possible.

Shonn Greene (13 car., 78 yards; 3 rec., 12 yards) got the bulk of the carries as usual, while Joe McKnight (4 car., 21 yards; 3 rec., 19 yards) played the complementary role with Ladainian Tomlinson out with an injury.  If you need around 70-80 yards rushing each week, then Greene’s your man
