Buffalo Bills DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson caught five passes for 114 yards in the team's 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions. The veteran also rushed twice for nine yards. Buffalo's coaching staff clearly saw something on film when installing their game plan that suggested utilizing the third-down back. Johnson caught two passes for 57 yards on the team's opening drive. When the final whistle sounded, Johnson led the team in receiving yards. While he's been more involved in the offense recently, Johnson doesn't get enough touches for fantasy managers to feel good about starting him. He only needs to be added in deep leagues.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (shoulder) completed 23-of-34 passes for 362 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's thrilling 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions. He added another two scores and 68 yards on 11 carries. Wow. The 28-year-old again put on a show, leading his team to a convincing victory on the road against one of the league's better defensive units. Per ESPN's Jeff Darlington, Allen had X-rays performed on him after the game due to concern over a "funky fall." However, they came back negative, and there's reportedly no reason for concern. The former first-round pick has been incredible over his last two contests, combining for 854 yards and ten total touchdowns. For reference -- the Denver Broncos racked up 193 yards as a team today in four quarters. Allen and the Bills get a meeting with the Patriots next Sunday in Week 16.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is officially active for Week 15 against the Detroit Lions. He had been listed as questionable, but the expectation was that he'd be able to play on Sunday. The second-year tight end has had an underwhelming season, ranking as the overall TE26 in fantasy football with his 34 catches, 456 yards, and two touchdowns. When healthy, he ranks as a mid-to-high TE2. Managers in 12-team leagues can likely find a better option than Kincaid this week.

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass hasn't made a field goal in two weeks, but continues to remain involved. Bass has made 11 extra point attempts over his last two games, but is 0-for-1 on field goal attempts. The Bills offense keeps scoring on their red zone trips which has limited the value of Bass. The expectation is that Bass is going to have a heavy workload in Week 15. He heads into a matchup with the Detroit Lions that is likely to be a high-scoring affair. Fantasy managers who have Bass rostered should feel comfortable starting him this week.

Buffalo Bills rookie running back should be viewed as a high-risk RB3 heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Davis has typically been deployed as a change-of-pace option in the Buffalo backfield behind James Cook. Last weekend, during their loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the Kentucky product did not log a carry and only saw 12 total offensive snaps. However, in Week 13, Davis ran the ball 11 times for 63 yards and a touchdown. Overall, since Week 8, Davis has averaged 4.8 rushing attempts per game but has produced well in this role, averaging 4.4 yards per carry. While Davis may see a few opportunities near the red zone, he is a high-risk option given his unstable role in the Buffalo offense. Facing a tough Detroit defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs does not make Davis' path much clearer as, well.
