Bills Defense A Confident Bet Despite Rash Of Injuries

11 months ago

The Buffalo Bills defense stands out as one of fantasy's best bets during the semifinal round of the playoffs. The Bills draw a favorable matchup in the form of inexperienced 2019 fifth-round pick quarterback Easton Stick on Saturday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Note that the hits to Buffalo's D have come early and often this season; they will be without significant contributors Micah Hyde (neck), DaQuan Jones (pectoral), Jordan Phillips (wrist), Tre'Davious White (Achilles), and Matt Milano (leg) in Week 16. Checking in as considerable 12.5-point favorites, however, should keep fantasy managers out of being deterred from starting head coach Sean McDermott's defensive unit in this one. Though their upside isn't what it would be if they were healthier, treat the Bills D/ST as a confident play against a squad without starting signal-caller Justin Herbert (finger) as well as top two wide receivers Keenan Allen (heel) and Mike Williams (knee).
