Zay Jones Nowhere To Be Found In Week 5

The Buffalo Bills spread the ball around to a number of receivers in Week 5 against the Titans, but none of those receivers happened to be named Zay Jones. Josh Allen targeted Duke Williams four times and found Isaiah McKenzie for a 46-yard gain in the game. Meanwhile, Jones wasn't targeted even once. Nine other […]

Dawson Knox Has A Rough Game In Week 5

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox caught just two of his five targets and managed just 12 yards in Week 5. Knox had shown promise the past two weeks, catching three passes each week while gaining over 50 yards in both games. He's little more than a worst-case scenario starting option in fantasy at this […]

Duke Williams Scores Game-Winning Touchdown In Bills Debut

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Duke Williams certainly rewarded the team for promoting him to the active roster for the first time this week. Williams caught the game-winning touchdown for the Bills in Week 5, helping lead the team to a 14-7 victory over the Titans. Williams was targeted four times in the game and caught […]

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley had his least productive outing of the season in Week 5, catching just three passes for 21 yards against the Titans. Beasley caught all three of his targets, but was out-targeted by four other Bills, which was certainly a surprise. Beasley had received nine-plus targets in three of four […]

John Brown Leads Bills In Receiving In Week 5

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown caught all five of his targets in Week 5 and gained 75 yards. He led the team in both receptions and receiving yards and his 75 yards were the most he's had this season since his monstrous 123-yard Week 1 outburst. Brown will be a potential starter on a […]

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon earned two carries and five targets in Sunday's 14-7 victory over the Titans. He rushed for 15 yards and caught four of his targets for 13 yards.

Frank Gore Rushes For 60 Yards In Week 5

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore shouldered the rushing workload for the Bills once again in Week 5, but the results were slightly underwhelming. Gore carried the ball 14 times and gained 60 yards in the game. He had managed double-digit fantasy points in standard-scoring leagues for three straight weeks before this week's game. It […]

Josh Allen Throws For 219 Yards And Two Touchdowns

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had been questionable for Week 5's game all week while going through the concussion protocol, but he managed to take the field and lead the Bills to victory. Allen completed 23-of-32 passes on the day for 219 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also added 27 rushing yards. It […]

Ito Smith Not A Viable Starting Option In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith has shown some promising potential so far this year. He has the lone Falcons rushing touchdown this season and his 5.7 yards per carry average is far superior than starting running back Devonta Freeman's 3.3 yards per carry average. However, Smith only saw four touches in Week 4 and […]

Matt Bryant A Potential Starting Option In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant has connected on three of his five field goal attempts and all seven of his extra-point attempts this year. The Falcons have had a good deal of turnovers through four games, which has prevented Bryant from having more opportunities. This week, the Falcons face the Texans in a game they […]

Falcons Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 5

The Falcons Defense has allowed 24 or more points in each of the team's first four games of the season. This week, they take on the Texans in Houston. The Texans have underwhelmed a bit so far this year, compared with their preseason expectations. However, quarterback Deshaun Watson and star receiver DeAndre Hopkins are most […]

Mohamed Sanu A Low-End Starting Option in PPR

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu outperformed his teammates and fellow receivers Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley in Week 4. Sanu caught nine of his team-high 12 targets in Week 4 for 91 yards. Sanu is a solid veteran receiver who would be a must-own player in all leagues if either Jones or Ridley were […]

Austin Hooper Looks To Keep Rolling In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper has been one of the clear offensive highlights for the team this year. He's caught 28 of his 33 targets on the year and led the team in receiving yards with 130 in Week 4. After being a low-end TE1 at best the first three years of his career, […]

Calvin Ridley A Solid WR2 In Week 5

After a promising start to the season, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley has cooled off significantly the past two weeks, totaling just four catches for 38 yards. Ridley is an exceptionally talented receiver, but the Falcons just have a lot of weapons in the passing game. Mohamed Sanu's nine-catch outing in Week 4 is […]

Devonta Freeman A Solid RB2 Option In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman has had an exceptionally underwhelming start to the season. Part of it has been poor play on his end, but part of it has also been bad luck. The Falcons have been playing from behind a lot this year, forcing the team to abandon the running game a great […]

Julio Jones Primed For Bounce-Back Game In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones played an uncharacteristic supporting role in the team's offense in Week 4. Despite Matt Ryan throwing for 397 passing yards, Jones caught just four passes for 52 yards. It was instead Austin Hooper and Mohamed Sanu who carried the passing game. Expect things to return back to a more […]

Matt Ryan Poised For A Big Game In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is second in the NFL in passing yards through four weeks, trailing only the great Patrick Mahomes. Ryan's thrown for over 300 yards in each game, including a season-high 397 yards against the Titans in Week 4.

Dawson Knox Could Be Start-Worthy In Week 5 If Josh Allen Plays

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has had two consecutive strong performances, catching a total of six passes for 125 yards and a touchdown. He's averaging 18 yards per reception on the year and looks to be the team's second-best big play producer in the passing game after John Brown at this point. Cole Beasley […]

Bills Defense A Strong Starting Option In Week 5

Despite the team suffering its first loss of the season against the Patriots in Week 4, the Bills Defense continued its strong start to the year.

Cole Beasley A Low-End PPR Starting Option If Josh Allen Plays

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley leads the team in receptions (24) and targets (36) through four games, barely edging out John Brown, who has 23 receptions and 34 targets. However, the Bills could be without starting quarterback Josh Allen (concussion) this week, as Allen is currently questionable while going through concussion protocol. If backup Matt […]

T.J. Yeldon Not A Starting Option In Week 5

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has made some strides with the team the past two weeks, compiling 117 combined rushing and receiving yards against the Bengals and Patriots. However, he didn't earn a single carry in Week 4, doing all his damage through the air, and he could be completely phased out of the […]

Zay Jones Remains Unworthy Of Rostering

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones has yet to reach 20 receiving yards on the season. Yes, you read that right: on the season. He's been targeted 18 times and has reeled in just seven catches for 18 yards. He has no business being on any fantasy rosters at this point. John Brown and Cole […]

Roll Out Frank Gore As Your RB2 In Week 5

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore passed his biggest test of the young season with flying colors in Week 4. Gore rushed for 109 yards on 17 carries against a Patriots Defense that entered Week 4 with the No. 1 rushing defense in the league. This week, Gore will take on the Titans, who have […]

Unpacking the Fantasy Value in Green Bay

John Brown A Low-End Starting Option In Week 5

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown leads the team in receiving yards (318) and has had a solid target share of 23.1% through four weeks. This week, the Bills take on the Titans in a tough matchup that could see them relying on No. 2 quarterback Matt Barkley as starter Josh Allen (concussion) is currently […]
