The Buffalo Bills have another divisional game in Week 11 against the Patriots after winning over the Jets and players like Sammy Watkins, LeSean McCoy, Karlos Williams and Robert Woods could be solid fantasy start options for Tyrod Taylor Monday night. Both running backs are worth using for team owners, as McCoy has been sharp the past two games, while Williams has a touchdown in every game he has played this season.
The Bills are going to have to play a great game against the Patriots if they want to give New England their first loss of the season, but even more important for Buffalo is staying in the AFC wild card race. The team is currently in the second wild card spot ahead of the Jets and Chiefs and they will need to keep winning to hold back the crowded back behind them in the conference. That will be no easy task against the Pats, but the team has the offensive personnel to keep up with New England.
Tyrod Taylor is no Tom Brady, but he has been playing well enough for the Bills this season and he will be looking to have a solid performance on Monday night. Taylor comes in with 11 touchdowns and just four interceptions this season and he is completing just over 70 percent of his passes. Taylor has been able to operate better with LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams healthy and both running backs are coming into Week 11 ready to play.
McCoy has dealt with various injuries this season, but the past two weeks he has had his best performances, going for 112 yards in back to back games against the Dolphins and the Jets. McCoy looked explosive on Thursday night against the Jets and he could be in line for a big game even with the Patriots defense as the matchup. Williams has been a strong backup for McCoy and fantasy owners have been very pleased with his production this season.
Williams missed time with a concussion, but he has played in six games this season and he has scored a touchdown in every one. Williams has eight total touchdowns and he comes in after putting up 50 total yards and a receiving TD last week against the Jets. Williams had 110 yards rushing against the Dolphins in Week 9 and even with McCoy starting, Williams has been getting touches and he has made the most of them with four total touchdowns in the past three games he has played.
Sammy Watkins has been dealing with injury issues this season as well, but he was able to play against the Jets on Thursday and is expected to be active for Monday night. The jets held Watkins in check with just three catches last week, but Watkins had his best game a couple weeks ago against the Dolphins and should be the number one target for the Bills on Monday night. Watkins had eight catches for 168 yards in that game and over his past three games he has found the endzone twice. Robert Woods and Charles Clay are solid options for Monday night as WR3 and TE2 options for fantasy owners.
