Although Fred Jackson will not need surgery to repair his MCL sprain, he acknowledged Monday that the Bills may place him on injured reserve anyway, with only three games left in the season.

"It's a grade II sprain of my MCL," Jackson said. "I mean technically it's a tear off the bone, because you tear the ligament away from the bone. So that's why some people say it's a tear, but the ligament itself is intact. It's just pulled away from the bone a little bit." Jackson doesn't expect to play again this year. "They told me I would be out 2-3 weeks, but I think they might just put me on injured reserve so they can get somebody to come in and play. Because I won't be able to play the rest of the regular season, it looks like."

Denver 26, Oakland 13

Broncos

Owners of Demaryius Thomas got a scare as the WR1 was taken to the locker room in the first quarter of Thursday night's matchup after injuring his shoulder. Scare averted as Thomas was able to return in the second half. Given 10 days to heal up, Thomas should be good-to-go facing a leaky Baltimore secondary.

Raiders

Rod Streater has jumped onto the scene of late picking up 196 yards and a touchdown over the past two weeks. In this game Streater's highlight was a 58-yard strike off the arm of Carson Palmer. A Preseason deeeeep sleeper, if you are absolutely desperate at the wide receiver position, Streater could be a worth a look as an upper WR4.

St. Louis 15, Buffalo 12

Rams

On paper it would appear newcomer Chris Givens had a down game, but it wasn't for a lack of trying as Givens was targeted a team high 10 times, but was only able to pull down three passes for 25 yards. Much blame could be placed on the inaccuracy of Sam Bradford, while Givens had a handful of drops. His day could have been respectable after nearly scoring a touchdown, but pushed out of bounds at the one yard line. Steven Jackson would eventually get the goal line plunge. With Minnesota next on the schedule, Givens remains a lower WR3 with upside.

Bills

Every week the postgame comments are the same from head coach Chan Gailey, "We need to get Spiller more involved." And every week its Fred Jackson taking a majority of the Bills' snaps despite a decrease in yards per carry. However, next week I will assure you Spiller will lead the team in touches as F-Jax has suffered a "serious knee injury" after taking a helmet to the knee. Owners beware as the Bills face the stiff Seattle rush defense as Spiller is a mid-RB2.

Dallas 20, Cincinnati 19

Cowboys

Coming off back-to-back weeks of two targets, Miles Austin actually paced the Boys receivers with 10 targets. However, Austin was only able to pull down four receptions for 46 yards while being held out of the end zone. Austin has proven to a very risky start made even less attractive with the aforementioned Steelers next on the schedule.

Bengals

With the burnable Eagles secondary next on the schedule, Dalton should produce mid QB1 numbers. Furthermore, owners should be made aware of a Week 16 matchup with Pittsburgh forthcoming as Dalton would fall to a high end QB2.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis continues to produce at a high level tearing through the banged and battered Dallas defensive line...

Fred Jackson was forced from Buffalo's Week 14 game against the Rams with a right leg injury.

Jackson took a helmet to his knee/leg mid-way through the fourth quarter, and went down in a heap. He remained down for several moments before limping off the field with assistance. Jackson could put little weight on his right leg, and was carted to the locker room soon after arriving on the sideline. It had the looks of a season-ending injury, though it's obviously too soon to tell. Jackson was the Bills' clear lead back before going down, out-touching C.J. Spiller 9-5 in the first half, and 14-8 for the game. However, he had gained just 30 yards to Spiller's 52.
