Buffalo @ L.A. Rams
Team Totals: Bills 25.5, Rams 28.5
The last time Josh Allen walked into SoFi Stadium against DC Chris Shula, the smoke cleared for the most single-game fantasy points by a QB in the 21st century (51.8). Brock Purdy (QB10) and Bo Nix (QB6) had no issues against the Rams before Jalen Hurts passed for 93 yards, short Philadelphia’s three best receivers around him. … With Aaron Donald expected back, winning on the ground is unlikely: 65% (second) of Buffalo’s RB carries have been schemed as man-blocking, which the Rams have stuffed for 3.4 yards per carry (sixth) — hence why the highest score against them was Christian McCaffrey’s RB20 finish in Week 1. You’re starting him in every season-long league, but James Cook’s back-to-back season-low marks in his share of the team’s RB touches (74% > 86%) project him with a questionable ceiling. Ty Johnson’s been the direct beneficiary with a superior 41% route share (to Cook’s 33% rate) since returning in Week 3.
