Buffalo Bills

Tyrod Taylor (Quarterback): Taylor got some bad news today when it has been announced he has a sprained MCL and should miss a couple of weeks. Taylor however shined on Sunday to lead the Bills to victory. Taylor completed 10 of 17 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown. He also carried the ball 8 times for 76 yards and a touchdown.

Chris Hogan (Wide Receiver): Chris Hogan was the only relevant Bills wide receiver of the day, catching all 3 of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown.

Charles Clay (Tight End): Charles Clay was plagued by cramps for a large portion of the game keeping his production minimal. The waiver wire star finished the game with 7 yards on 1 reception.

Anthony Dixon (Running Back): Dixon is injured himself so it is no surprise that he struggled in this game. He finished with 7 carries for 19 yards and caught all 3 of his targets for 20 yards. The big surprise is all of these injuries to Bills running backs. First was McCoy which was kind of expected but them Williams with a concussion, Dixon, and now Cierre Wood who the Bills picked up at the beginning of the week tore his ACL. Dixon will attempt to play in week 6 however if he is unable to go the newly signed Dan "Boom" Herron will test his luck.

Tennessee Titans

Marcus Mariota (Quarterback): Mariota had an unusually bad day from the field as the Bills attacked him from every angle. Mariota only completed 21 of 32 passes for 187 yards and an interception. Mariota should be considered a matchup based plug in player at this point.

Antonio Andrews/Bishop Sankey/Dexter McCluster (Running Back): This convoluted running back committee will struggle to find consistency as waiver darling Antonio Andrews carried the ball 7 times for 9 yards and looked like the least productive back on the field. Sankey was a bit better rushing 7 times for 20 yards and he hauled in all 3 of his targets. McCluster got the extra carry however had the same amount of yards and had -2 yards receiving. This is a committee to stay away from at all costs.

Delanie Walker (Tight End): Walker was fighting a hip injury late in this game however he got a healthy amount of targets. Walker finished the game with 7 grabs on 10 targets for 68 yards.

Justin Hunter/ Kendall Wright (Wide Receivers): Kendall Wright suffered a minor knee injury in this game however his stats were pretty good. Wright finished with 7 grabs on 12 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown while Hunter reeled in 4 out of 6 targets for 38 yards.
