Patriots RB Damien Harris led the backfield in carries (18) and rushing yards (86) in Sunday's OT loss at Green Bay. That included claiming the team's only rushing score. Rhamondre Stevenson ran for 66 yards on 14 carries but also led the team in targets (5) and receptions (4). Stevenson's passing-game usage again found him leading Harris in snaps.
Bills beat writer Joe Buscaglia writes that the Bills don’t trust RB James Cook, and a game-day deactivation might be upcoming. Devin Singletary played a whopping 88% of the snaps in Week 4 at Baltimore. Cook fumbled in the opener and dropped a pass against the Ravens, so the trust issues make sense. Buscaglia also points out that the Bills’ blocking style doesn’t mesh with Cook’s strengths. For now, it’ll take a Singletary injury for Cook to enter the fantasy radar.
Bills QB Josh Allen threw for just 213 yards and 1 TD on Sunday against the Ravens defense that allowed more QB fantasy points than any other through 3 weeks. He made up for that to some degree with 70 yards and a TD rushing. The constant rain certainly didn't help the passing game, and might have contributed to drops by multiple Buffalo receivers. Allen and the Bills get Pittsburgh and Kansas City next, ahead of a Week 7 bye.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (back, hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He got in 3 limited practices this week and never seemed to be in danger of missing this one. Knox’s usage has been disappointing so far this season, though, and he looks like a TD-or-bust fantasy play.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (back, hip) is expected to play vs. the Ravens today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Knox is listed as questionable but got in 3 limited practices this week. We never heard any real concern about his Week 4 availability.
Bills CB Dane Jackson (neck), DT Ed Oliver (ankle) and S Jordan Poyer (foot) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens. All 3 missed last week's contest but put in limited practices throughout this week. DT Jordan Phillips (hamstring) is out for the 2nd straight game.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (back, hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens. He got in 3 limited practices, so we’re tentatively expecting him to play. But Knox obviously won’t be at 100%.
Raiders WR Mack Hollins matched WR Davante Adams for the team target lead (10) in Sunday's loss to the Titans, but he blew away Adams in production. Hollins caught 8 balls for 158 yards and a TD, compared with a pedestrian 5-36-1 line for Adams. Hollins certainly benefited from WR Hunter Renfrow being out but also edged Renfrow in routes in each of the 1st 2 games. We're not betting on more outings like this from Hollins, but he's also not a great bet to disappear from relevance.
WR Curtis Samuel led the Commanders in targets for the 3rd straight game in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. His 10 stood 1 ahead of WR Terry McLaurin and RB J.D. McKissic and 2 ahead of WR Jahan Dotson. TE Logan Thomas trailed in 5th place with 3 looks. Samuel caught a team-high 7 balls but collected a mere 48 yards (6.9 per catch). McLaurin turned his 6 receptions into 102 yards, while Dotson managed just 2 catches for 10 yards amid 8 targets. Through 3 weeks, QB Carson Wentz ranks 4th in the league in pass attempts, which has helped the volume of every pass-catcher.
Bills QB Josh Allen posted 400 yards and 2 scores in a Week 3 loss at Miami. Going back to last year, he’s now hit 32+ fantasy points in 5 straight. Sunday’s 400-yard outing also marked his most since Week 9 of 2020. Miami defenders dropped several would-be INTs, but Allen also left at least one TD on the field due to an off-target pass. Facing a blitz-happy Miami defense, Allen did plenty of damage in the short range, leading to big games from Devin Singletary (9-78-1) and Isaiah McKenzie (7-76-1). Allen did get a post-game X-ray on his right hand, which he banged against a helmet late in the 4th quarter. But he confirmed that he’ll be fine going forward. Allen should continue to roll in Week 4 against a struggling Baltimore secondary.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. He played through this injury on Monday night and got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We’re not expecting the foot to be a major issue today.
The Bills have ruled S Micah Hyde (neck), CB Dane Jackson (neck), DT Jordan Phillips (hamstring) and Ed Oliver (ankle) out for Sunday's game in Miami. S Jordan Poyer (foot) is also questionable. That's a large chunk of the starting defense and could soften the matchup for Miami offensive players. You should already have been planning to start Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, though. The injuries give a slight boost to QB Tua Tagovailoa, who we've had on the fringe of starter territory in our QB rankings. We'll check Poyer's status Sunday morning.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (foot) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins. He played through this injury on Monday night and got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We're expecting Knox to play on Sunday, but he won't be at 100%.
After posting a 9-101-1 line in Week 2, Browns WR Amari Cooper racked up 7 catches on 11 targets for 101 yards and a TD in Thursday night's win over the Steelers. Cooper was creating big separation all night, scoring on a slant from 11 yards out and tallying 3 grabs of 18+ yards. After garnering 17.6% of Browns targets in the opener, Cooper has registered big 37.0% and 35.5% target shares the past 2 outings. If he stays anywhere near that level, he'll be an every-week fantasy starter -- even in a run-leaning Cleveland offense.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (foot) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins but won't be at 100%.
Bills S Micah Hyde and CB Dane Jackson missed practice Wednesday. Both players left Monday night's game with neck injuries that sent them to the hospital that night. We'd bet on neither playing this week but will keep an eye on the situation. S Jordan Poyer was limited with a foot injury. DT Jordan Phillips (hamstring) also missed practice, while DT Ed Oliver (ankle) returned to a limited practice after missing all last week.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. He banged up that foot early in Monday night's win over the Titans but was able to return. He should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.
Bills rookie RB James Cook led the team in rushing attempts in Monday night's lopsided win over the Titans, but nearly all of that came after starters had left the game. Cook handled Buffalo's final 9 carries, with Case Keenum at QB, finishing with 11 rushes for 53 yards. Devin Singletary carried 6 times for 19 yards and led the backfield in targets (4). He caught 2 passes for just 2 yards. Zack Moss added 17 yards on 3 carries. He and James Cook each saw 1 catchless target.
Bills QB Josh Allen tossed 4 TDs in Monday night's demolition of the Titans, finding WR Stefon Diggs for 3 of them. Allen targeted Diggs on 14 of his 38 pass attempts (36.8%), with TE Dawson Knox (5) and RB Devin Singletary (4) the only other Bills to top 3 looks. Allen finished with 317 yards, while adding 10 rushing yards on just 1 attempt. He didn't turn the ball over and took just 1 sack.
Browns WR Amari Cooper came alive for 9 catches, 101 yards and 1 score vs. the Jets. His 10 targets led the team and represented a huge 37% share. He also saw a whopping 68% of Cleveland’s air yards. His lone score came on a busted zone coverage in the end zone. Overall, it was nice to see a more accurate Jacoby Brissett utilizing Cooper in the short to intermediate ranges. The former Cowboy should be treated as a WR3 for now.
