Thursday Night Football
8:20 PM ET Game
Buffalo @ L.A. Rams
Team Totals: Bills 27.5, Rams 25
2022’s NFL opener projects as a shootout pitting against each other last year’s third (Bills) and seventh (Rams) highest-scoring teams. 2018-2021 Bills OC Brian Daboll’s exit for the Giants’ head-coaching job casts some doubt on Buffalo’s ongoing pass-game commitment — last year’s Bills finished top five in pass attempts (655) and top three in Establish The Run’s pass rate above expectation metric. New OC Ken Dorsey spent the past three seasons working with Daboll and Josh Allen as Buffalo’s passing coordinator and QBs coach. Fantasy’s overall QB1 in each of the last two years, Allen’s box-score ceiling is rivaled only by Jalen Hurts (@ DET), Patrick Mahomes (@ ARI), Kyler Murray (vs. KC), and Justin Herbert (vs. LV) on Week 1’s quarterback slate. … My best guess at Buffalo’s Opening Day running back rotation would have reliable incumbent Devin Singletary handling most early-down runs, explosive second-round rookie James Cook mixing in as a pace-change and passing-down back, and Zack Moss siphoning short-yardage stuff. Facing a stout Rams defense that added Canton-bound MLB Bobby Wagner this offseason, I wouldn’t be bullish on any individual Bills back delivering top-20 Week 1 positional value.
