Arizona Cardinals @ Buffalo Bills

Sunday, 25 September @ 1:00 PM

Will a new offensive coordinator give the Bills’ defense a boost?

 

START: RB, David Johnson

David Johnson has firmly entrenched himself for every week consideration for all leagues and daily/weekly fantasy contests.

In two weeks Johnson has totaled 275 yards of offense and a touchdown.

This week he takes on Buffalo’s weak defense which has been running back friendly to the tune of 20+ fantasy points per week.

Another bad performance by the Bills’ defense may lead to another offensive coordinator being fired, but it should also lead to another good fantasy outing for this second year running back.

 

SIT: Buffalo Bills D/ST

The Arizona Cardinals offense led by quarterback Carson Palmer and future Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald is averaging just one point given up to opposing defenses through two weeks.

Following a 40-7 shellacking of the Buccaneers, the Bills should be on full alert this week and will have problems matching up against all of the weapons at Bruce Arians’ disposal.

There isn’t a whole lot of confidence in Northwest New York these days, and you shouldn’t have any confidence in this unit for your fantasy football lineups.

 

SLEEPER: WR, Marquise Goodwin

We all saw Marquise Goodwin burn Darrelle Revis last Thursday Night.

Entering this match-up against the Cardinals we could see some more fireworks by the Olympic hopeful.

Sammy Watkins is out and Goodwin is really Tyrod Taylor’s only other deep option on the roster.

The Bills are going to have to throw to stay in the game, and they’ll have to throw deep to give LeSean McCoy some running room.

If this is the gameplan then it’s right up Goodwin’s skill set and he should get more than a few chances to try and take the Cardinals’ secondary deep.
