Matchups We Love

Josh Allen (QB, BUF)

London was not kind to Allen and Co., who elected to fly in on Friday and play on Sunday. That plan backfired as they sputtered on offense. If not for two fourth-quarter scoring drives, Allen's numbers would have been very poor. The tables will turn this week back on home soil against the Giants. Their defense is bad in every metric, providing an ideal bounce-back spot for everyone, including Allen.

Stefon Diggs (WR, BUF)

Diggs is not only matchup-proof but situation-proof now, too. He was great once again, but more importantly, so was Gabe Davis. He's found pay dirt in four straight weeks and sits as the WR18 in points per game. With no one else emerging behind him, he's putting together the type of year we thought he could in 2022. He's a top-24 option at home against New York.

James Cook (RB, BUF)

Nothing was going well for Cook to open the game. He was getting stuffed behind the line of scrimmage and the offense couldn't move the ball. They tried turning to Damien Harris and Latavius Murray, neither of whom did much better.

Unfortunately, it sunk his day as a rusher. He still caught three passes for 25 yards, and now gets a grand matchup to find more success on the ground. He's in the top 24 because of the offense and matchup.

Matchups We Hate

Tyrod Taylor (QB), Darren Waller (TE), Wan'Dale Robinson (WR)

The Giants are falling from grace at a rapid pace. Daniel Jones left their beatdown from Miami with a neck injury that will keep him out, with Tyrod Taylor starting instead. Darren Waller hurt his groin, causing him to miss practice. Even Wan'Dale Robinson, who had five catches for 18 yards, exited with an ailment.

It's a complete stay-away aside from Waller, who possesses additional risk with the injury if he's active. Waller is listed as questionable, but is expected to suit up. He remains a risky option but is still safer than a lot of other tight ends.

Saquon Barkley (RB, NYG)

If there's even a glimmer of hope for New York, it's the impending return of Barkley. He's missed three weeks with a high-ankle sprain, which lines up with the suggested timeline. Assuming he's on the field, he's a top-30 play for volume and opportunity alone.

If he misses, it's a group to be careful with because Eric Gray actually led the team in rushing on Sunday, so it's best to take your shot somewhere else. Barkley is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. It seems likely he plays, but he might be less effective, so it'll be the volume that he relies on.

Other Matchups

Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox (TE, BUF)

Both Kincaid and Dawson Knox are on the injury report and practiced in a limited fashion on Thursday. If one were to miss, it would add to the opportunity of the other in a very good matchup.

If they're both active, Kincaid remains the one to stream. Both Knox and Kincaid practiced again on Friday and are listed as questionable. Both seem to be trending towards being active.

Notable Injuries

Saquon Barkley (ankle)
Gary Brightwell (knee)
Daniel Jones (neck)
Dalton Kincaid (concussion)
Dawson Knox (wrist)
