8. Bills RB Marshawn Lynch
Season stats (12 games): 258 carries for 1,010 yards and seven touchdowns, 17 receptions for 162 yards, one lost fumble
Week 16 stats: 18 carries for 70 yards and one touchdown, two receptions for 42 yards
Last week’s ranking: 10
Stock: Steady
With an 88-yard TD scamper capping off a 151-yard gem of a game, the Giants' Ahmad Bradshaw was the awe-inspiring rookie running back in Orchard Park on Sunday. For Lynch, it was business as usual. Few ankle-breaking shimmies, but a whole lot of high-impact collisions. You don’t see many tailbacks run with as much authority as Lynch, whose style exemplifies the city of Buffalo’s blue-collar mentality.
Honorable mention (In no particular order)
Bills QB Trent Edwards: The only rookie quarterback who can be satisfied with his season.
In Duds:
3. Patriots S Brandon Meriweather (first round, 24th overall): The only 2007 Patriots draftee still on the roster, he’s not even a regular in DB-heavy sub packages.
6. Dolphins QB John Beck (second round, 40th overall): Unlike JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn, Beck has logged significant time under center, and has only exacerbated the Dolphins’ woes. Even glimpses of potential were in short supply.
