Bills Defense A Top Week 17 Option

Bills Defense A Top Week 17 Option

11 months ago

The Buffalo Bills defense sacked quarterback Easton Stick five times in Week 16, allowing 22 points with no takeaways. The final line for fantasy purposes was lackluster, considering the Bills were taking on an unproven backup QB with 57 lifetime passing attempts entering play. Nevertheless, Buffalo gets another crack at an inexperienced field general in New England Patriots QB Bailey Zappe on Sunday. Zappe has shown some competence, but he still owns a rough 6.3 yards per attempt, 6:4 TD:INT, 83.1 passer rating, and 35.2 QBR covering his 156 attempts. That's not to mention that the Pats reside in the basement with an NFL-worst 14.1 points per game. Buffalo's D remains one of the NFL's most depleted units, but they will get a boost in the back end when ball-hawking safety Micah Hyde (neck) returns, and also up front with run-plugging nose tackle DaQuan Jones (pectoral) likely coming off injured reserve in Week 17.
