Cole Beasley Exits Late With Injury

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley (leg) was unable to do much damage against the New England Patriots in Week 16. He hauled in three of his five targets for 17 yards in the win.

Gabriel Davis Fairly Quiet Against New England

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis has been a nice option for the team since losing John Brown (calf) earlier in the season.

Dawson Knox Plays Well In Week 16

Singletary also hauled in two receptions for 16 yards, but that wasn't enough to save his fantasy value. Rookie running back Zack Moss continues […]

Zack Moss Rushes For Touchdown In Victory

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss was able to score his fourth rushing touchdown of the season during the Week 16 matchup with the New England Patriots. He rushed 12 times for 57 yards and one touchdown in the win. The good news is, Moss has seen 12 carries or more over his last three […]

Josh Allen Tosses Four Touchdowns Against Patriots

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen continues to make a strong push towards the MVP conversation. He was absolutely lights out during the Week 16 blowout victory over the New England Patriots.

N'Keal Harry A Non-Factor Versus Bills

Damiere Byrd Has Embarrassing Performance In Week 16

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd has not been productive since his huge Week 11 game. He was basically invisible on the field against the Buffalo Bills in Week 16.

Jakobi Meyers Held In Check By Bills

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was coming into this Week 16 matchup red-hot after an 111-yard performance the week prior.

Jarrett Stidham Gets Some Reps In Blowout Loss

New England Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham took over for the ineffective Cam Newton during the third quarter.

It's unclear which of the […]
