Buffalo Bills 20 http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/jeremy-kerley-jersey , LA Chargers 31: Bills shocked into submission assive hole in the first half that couldn’t be overcome in a 31-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Rookie quarterback Josh Allen had an up and down day that included his first career touchdown, finishing 18 of 34 for 245 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. His west coast counterpart, Philip Rivers, was surgical with a 23-of-27 day for 256 yards and three touchdowns.Much like the Ravens in the season opener, the Chargers ran roughshod over the Bills in the first half. Philip Rivers had a nearly perfect passer rating and threw three touchdowns, while Austin Ekeler could not be tackled, and Los Angeles nearly ran up 300 yards in the first half. Buffalo’s offense looked better than week one, pretty much by default, but they did score two field goals and turn a complete embarrassment into a typical NFL embarrassment.To their credit http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/jerry-hughes-jersey , the Bills settled down and looked like a respectable NFL team when the second half started. Josh Allen came out and engineered a touchdown drive (the first of the season) on the opening drive of the half, added a late passing touchdown, and the Bills defense held the Chargers to only three points in the second half. If a few more key plays had broken their way, the team could’ve engineered a full comeback. Two forced fumbles were blown dead, and a tipped pass fell into the hands of a Chargers receiver instead of a Bills defender. Josh Allen took a couple risks trying to close the gap, and they turned into a pair of drive-killing interceptions. The Bills will lick their wounds and try to carry some of the positive feelings from the second half into Minnesota next week when they play the Vikings.TakeawaysAllen looked like he could handle the NFL spotlight for most of the game, but still made a handful of rookie mistakes. He misread the defensive front on several plays, which contributed to LA’s five sacks.Tremaine Edmunds took a step back from his great performance in week one. While he tied for the team lead with seven tackles, the Chargers constantly picked on him in coverage. He missed some tackles against speedier receivers and runners.To make one excuse for Edmunds, injuries and Buffalo’s roster configuration put him in an uncomfortable position, like man coverage against slot receiver Keenan Allen.Zay Jones nearly dropped it, but hauled in a 57-yard pass from Josh Allen in the first half.Chris Ivory made a goalline appearance to score a rushing touchdown at the start of the second half.The Bills pass rush came to life Womens Matt Milano Jersey , and Jerry Hughes and Lorenzo Alexander recorded sacks today.Injury notesPhillip Gaines injured his shoulder in the first quarter of the game. He was replaced by Rafael Bush and with the Bills running more base defense personnel.Taiwan Jones suffered a head laceration when he tried recovering a muffed punt, lost his helmet, and took a hit to the face from a Chargers defender.LeSean McCoy injured his ribs when Ryan Groy fell on top of him on a run. He made a brief appearance in the game but sat out the rest of the day.Rafael Bush was also injured late in the fourth quarter, and was helped off the field. The Buffalo Bills offense is a fantasy football landmine—that is, it is something to be avoided at all costs. Under extreme circumstances, however, fields rife with landmines have to be negotiated, and sometimes, playing players from bad offenses cannot be avoided.If your roster is lacking at certain positions, whether due to bye weeks, injuries, or poor planning Authentic Tre'Davious White Jersey , there are a few fliers that you can take if you’re looking to play a Bills’ player. This week, they play the New York Jets, a team that isn’t among the strongest in the NFL. If ever there were a matchup for some Buffalo players to take advantage of, this one is it.WR Terrelle PryorBuffalo’s newest wideout was a big part of the game plan last week, netting 5 targets only 5 days after signing with the team. He only made 2 catches for 17 yards, and he dropped a pass that led to one of Nathan Peterman’s three interceptions. However, the fact that he was third among Bills receivers in targets, trailing only Kelvin Benjamin (9) and Zay Jones (6), and second among wideouts in snaps with 75, bodes well for his involvement in the offense. Factor in Kelvin Benjamin’s non-participation in Wednesday’s practice due to a knee ailment and Pryor’s prior connection to this week’s opponent, and the possibility of a breakout game exists. To be fair, a breakout for a Buffalo receiver in 2018 may not be much more than a 10-point fantasy day Womens Rafael Bush Jersey , but as a flex player in a week where four teams are on a bye, that output would be completely acceptable. WR Zay JonesI’m on the Zay train. Buffalo’s second-year wideout is having a much better year than his rookie campaign, and while a historically bad passing offense isn’t doing him any favors, he is clearly a trusted target among all three of Buffalo’s quarterbacks. Jones has been targeted27 times in the last 4 weeks, and he’s made 16 catches over that same span of time. None of those numbers are eye-popping, but he has continued to make strides. If Benjamin is unable to play, Jones should see an even larger chunk of targets in the passing game against a Jets secondary that allows the ninth-most fantasy points to wide receivers.Bills D/STJosh McCown is expected to start at quarterback this weekend in place of rookie Sam Darnold, who has a sprained foot. The Jets have managed 198 points on the season, scoring 34 points or more three separate times; however, in the team’s other 6 games, they have failed to go over 17 points. The Jets have fumbled 16 times and thrown 14 interceptions while allowing 21 sacks. Buffalo’s defense has a chance to keep the team close this week.
