WR42 Khalil Shakir 16 4.5 5.94 44.94 0.25 81%
bench
  • Shakir is the most consistent fantasy producer and has led the team in targets since Week 1, he doesn't explode. 6-64, 4-45, 5-69, 6-45, 3-33, and throw in 2 scores.
  • Carolina is 5th stingiest to opposing fantasy WRs allowing the 7th fewest receptions, 6th fewest receiving yards, and just 4 scores.
  • He'll also get Chau Smith-Wade in the slot who ranks 39th by PFF.
WR67 Keon Coleman 12 3 4.58 29.58 0.33 34%
bench
  • Coleman and Palmer have consistenly been in the 1-3 catch and 20 something yards range since the opener. Occasionally Palmer will get a deep one but you can't count on it.

C
  • Kincaid returns from missing a game and a bye to a top 5 TE matchup with a Panthers team allowing 9th most receptions, 4th most yards, and 10th most scores. Much like with the QBs against the Panthers, TEs had scored in 3 staright vs the Panthers prior to the Jets game

RB5 James Cook III 16 19.19 100.38 0.75 2.06 2.5 18.19 0.13 100%
A
  • Hasn't scored or even caught a pass in the last 2 games, but still saw 15+ carries in each.
  • He shouldn't have trouble finding that volume again, the Panthers allow the 7th most receptions to backs so that should come back, but otherwsie the Panthers have been a bit stingy, since Travis Etienne exploded on them in week 1, only Bijan has topped 50 rushing yards on the Panther and there have been solid runners they faced.
  • between the volume, some extra pass work, the fact he scores in most games and a game script the bills are favored by more than a touchdown... I'll still give Cook the A.

bench
  • Bills allow the 4th fewest explosive plays.
  • Dalton played 4 full games last year, had multipe scores in 3 of them and 220+ yards in those 3.
  • It's a top 5 pass d, ranking top 5 in each of attempts, completions, and yards allowed to QB

WR13 Tetairoa McMillan 16 4.13 7.25 58.06 0.44 94%
A
  • The last two lead receivers against the Bills had 10+ catches and 140+ yards -- Drake London and Stephon Diggs.
  • he Bills have been very susceptible to offenses hyper targeting their WR1. The WRs with over 6 targets have averaged 109.2 yards and .6 touchdowns. McMillan averages near 8 targets per game
WR76 Xavier Legette 14 2.29 4.29 24.36 0.21 13%
C
  • Had a huge game last week while teteroa mcmillan was shadowed by sauce gardner
  • He has scored twice in his last 3 games and leads the team in red zone targets in that span.
  • Dalton heavily targeted Legette at the end including 3-39 on the final Drive of the game.

RB16 Rico Dowdle 16 14.31 66.63 0.38 2.31 3 17.31 0.06 71%
C
  • Based on last week, it's a 50/50 split. Chuba more snaps and routes, Rico more carries, Chuba more targets/catches, Rico more touches but all these within a few of each other.
  • Bijan just went for 238 and a score on this Bills team, but allgeier also had 38 and a score. Henry blew up week 1... but also Achane had 91, his teammate ollie gordon had 38 and a score, kamara had 72 and his teammate kendre miller had 65 and a score
  • I'm giving both these backs C grades as more of a pure 50/50 split and the way they are performing in a matchup where other duos have been very startable. With 6 teams on bye, Cs make sense here.
  • rico has 4 carries inside the 5, Chuba hasn't had one yet.
RB42 Chuba Hubbard 14 9.21 35.79 0.07 2 2.64 15.43 0.21 65%
C
  • Ran twice as many routes but only led to one more target and catch. Rico had 20 RB opportunites, Chuba had 19
  • The Bills also allow the highest yards per carry to backs in the NFL and have given up the 3rd most rushing scores. on their way to being the 10th easiest matchup to the position.
