Quinn injured his knee in practice, and the pass rusher was declared out on Friday. It’s a blow for the Eagles’ ability to get to the passer. However, the Eagles will have DT Jordan Davis, who is returning from injured reserve. bolstering the interior of the defensive line.

Knox now has two looks through two games. Tonight’s doughnut was not egregious with Josh Allen attempting only 19 passes, but it’s safe to say Knox lacks a floor. Although he could pop up for the occasional touchdown, Knox hasn’t demonstrated he belongs in the TE2 streamer mix.

Samuel has just three catches in two games after spending much of the summer battling a toe injury. He ultimately seems likely to mix in for more of his patented Swiss-army type usage, but he is unfortunately looking like an early drop candidate if you took a late-round flier. Neither Samuel’s floor nor ceiling are ultimately that compelling.

Davis “added” a -1 yard reception. Davis’ nine totes were just two fewer than James Cook’s 11, but six of them came in the fourth quarter of a 31-10 game. This was not the dawning of a committee in Buffalo. Ty Johnson also mixed in for two touches. Davis is more realistically fighting with Johnson than Cook for work at the moment.

Four days after leading the Bills in yards and targets, Coleman was nowhere to be found on a night where the Bills didn’t need to open things up offensively. Josh Allen attempted just 19 passes in a 31-10 victory. It speaks to how inconsistent the rookie second-rounder is likely to be as the Bills search for a new identity in their Stefon Diggs-less receiver group.

Although 5/54 is nothing to call home about, Shakir was the Bills’ most targeted and productive wideout on a night where Josh Allen went just 13-of-19 for 139 yards in a game the Bills dominated defensively. It’s difficult to spot the overall ceiling with Shakir, but he’s established a floor and has the most well-rounded game in the Bills’ new-look receiver corps. He’s worth keeping around as a WR4/5 headed into Week 3 vs. the Jaguars.

Wilson was held without a carry before going down in the fourth quarter. Even with Raheem Mostert out with a chest injury, Wilson was very lightly used, surprising since De’Von Achane was supposedly questionable with an ankle injury in a contest that quickly become non-competitive. If you added Wilson as a Mostert/Achane hedge, he can safely be dropped ahead of Week 3 against the Seahawks.

With the Bills’ defense dominating the proceedings before Tua Tagovailoa departed with a third quarter concussion, neither Waddle nor anyone else could stuff the stat sheet. The task, obviously, got that much harder following Tagovailoa’s departure. Whereas Tyreek Hill’s game is so unique as to almost be quarterback-proof, Waddle could have a tougher time as the secondary option. Of course, his check-down potential could also be in greater demand. Even if it’s Skylar Thompson starting against the Seahawks in Week 3 — which seems highly likely — we will probably keep Waddle in the top 24.

The entire Dolphins’ offense had a comedown from its explosive Week 1. Making matters worse was the third quarter loss of Tua Tagovailoa to the third known concussion of his NFL career. Considering that scary injury history, Tagovailoa seems highly unlikely to suit up for Week 3 against the Seahawks, which means it would be Skylar Thompson under center. Coach Mike McDaniel is a good enough play-caller that we wouldn’t fear Hill dropping out of the top 12, or even the top 5-6, but he’s going to be a much more volatile option without his starting quarterback.

It was a much better night than Kincaid’s 1/11 Week 1, but he still wasn’t a point of emphasis beyond the Bills seeming to scheme him looks on their opening drive of each half. Of course, there was only so much compiling one could do with Josh Allen attempting just 19 passes in a blowout where the Bills’ defense dominated. Hopefully Week 3 against the Jags finally gives us a real idea of where Kincaid’s sophomore season is heading.

Allen rushed just twice for two yards. Fresh off the QB1 overall finish in Week 1, Allen didn’t have to do much in the stifling Miami humidity as the Bills picked off Tua Tagovailoa three times, with the third one turning into a pick-six. Short fields and big James Cook plays further conspired to limit Allen’s statistical compiling. Unfortunate for fantasy, great for the Bills. Allen will remain in the QB1 overall mix for Week 3 against the Jaguars, where we will hopefully get a better idea of where this receiver corps is going.
