Buffalo Bills - Ivory Takes the Reins
Quarterbacks: Derek Anderson (100%)
Running Backs: Chris Ivory (64%), Marcus Murphy (32%), LeSean McCoy (2%)
Wide Receivers: Zay Jones (91%), Kelvin Benjamin (79%), Andre Holmes (68%), Cam Phillips (29%)
Tight Ends: Charles Clay (70%), Jason Croom (29%), Logan Thomas (18%)
LeSean McCoy left Sunday's game with a head injury. Chris Ivory immediately took over lead back duties and was able to accumulate 106 total yards, despite the Bills being down by 24 points at half time. Should McCoy miss time (or get traded), Ivory would be the player who stands to gain the most. He's worth picking up as a potential flex play this week (should McCoy not be cleared) or as a stash for later in the season should McCoy head out of Buffalo.
Miami Dolphins - Brocktober
Quarterback: Brock Osweiler (100%)
Running Backs: Kenyan Drake (64%), Frank Gore (45%)
Wide Receivers: Kenny Stills (95%), Danny Amendola (73%), Albert Wilson (55%), Jakeem Grant (40%)
Tight Ends: Nick O'Leary (70%), Michael Gesicki (29%), Durham Smythe (7%)
Ryan Tannehill has already been ruled out for Week 8's game against the Houston Texans with a shoulder injury. So, it will once again be Brock Osweiler standing in and starting. Judging by his recent performances, he might not give up the starting job when Tannehill returns to full health. Of course, the moment we start talking nice about Brock could be the moment he throws nine picks in a game. He's only worth adding in deep two-QB leagues.
New England Patriots - Gordon Gains Brady's Confidence
Quarterback: Tom Brady (100%)
Running Backs: James White (70%), Kenjon Barner (27%), Sony Michel (9%)
Wide Receivers: Julian Edelman (98%), Josh Gordon (95%), Chris Hogan (66%)
Tight End: Dwayne Allen (86%)
We mention Gordon in this spot for the second week in a row because his rapport with Tom Brady seems to continue growing at a rapid pace. In face, Brady says that it "is growing and growing and growing." The wordsmith. Gordon's 100 yards this week was his biggest output of the season. He'll look to try and beat that total once again when the Pats face Buffalo this week. Personally, I wouldn't be at all shocked if he somehow ends up the year as a 1,000-yard receiver. That may seem a lofty goal at this point, but we're talking about a guy who once put up 1,000 yards in a seven week span (2014).
New York Jets - Out of the Cannon
Quarterback: Sam Darnold (100%)
Running Backs: Isaiah Crowell (46%), Trenton Cannon (32%), Bilal Powell (20%)
Wide Receivers: Jermaine Kearse (90%), Robby Anderson (87%), Andre Roberts (44%), Deontay Burnett (21%)
Tight Ends: Neal Sterling (45%), Eric Tomlinson (37%), Chris Herndon (34%)
Bilal Powell left this week's game against the Vikings with a neck injury. No matter. Rookie Trenton Cannon stepped in and had his biggest game of the season, catching 4-of-5 targets for 69 yards. If Powell misses time, Cannon would step in and act as the passing down back for the Jets. He's not worth an add at this point, but would be if Powell were to miss significant time.
