QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Joe Burrow	569.6	380.2	4243.5	30.19	12.53	50.7	154.6	2.03	293.08
Jake Browning	49.5	31.9	351.5	2.33	1.29	8.1	24.3	0.24	24.67

Joe Burrow: Burrow battled a calf strain during the early part of the season, and his performance suffered as a result (182 YPG with only two total touchdowns through four games). While he got into a groove after that point (4-1 record, 296 passing YPG, 12-to-four TD-INT ratio in his next five games), Burrow was lost for the season to a hand/wrist injury sustained in Week 11. Burrow says he'll "be ready to go by the season" even though he won't put a percentage on where he is health wise. The Bengals arguably have the league's best receiver tandem with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Chris Evans	18.3	78.7	0.32	11.3	85	0.7	28.14

Zack Moss: Moss is one of free agency's biggest winners this offseason with Joe Mixon now in Houston. While he'll share the workload with Chase Brown, Moss has shown an ability to handle a heavy workload and he should get the larger share of touches in Cincinnati's committee backfield. Given the high-powered nature of their offense (when everyone is healthy), Moss is a high-upside flex option heading into 2024.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Ja'Marr Chase	99.3	1275.1	8.7	3	9	0.03	230.44
Tee Higgins	76.7	1056.9	7.1	0	0	0	186.64

Charlie Jones	8.2	87.3	0.7	1	6	0.04	17.87
Trenton Irwin	7.6	94.2	0.7	0	0	0	17.42

Ja'Marr Chase: Although he's the WR3 in my rankings, a case could be made for Chase to be drafted as the WR1 this summer. Injuries have slowed him and/or Joe Burrow over the past two seasons, but the 24-year-old receiver already has 268/3,717/29 through 45 career games.

Tee Higgins: With both Higgins and Joe Burrow missing considerable time and dealing with injuries, 2023 was a year to forget. Before that, however, Higgins had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons (and top-24 finishes) as the team's 1B to Ja'Marr Chase's 1A. Going into his age-25 season, it appears unlikely that Higgins will sign a long-term extension, but it's good news that he has signed his franchise tender.

Erick All Jr.	10.1	101.1	0.8	19.96

Mike Gesicki: Gesicki has underwhelmed the past couple of seasons — 32/362/5 and 29/244/2, respectively. While fantasy managers shouldn't expect a 112-target (and 73/780/2) season like in 2021, there is potential that Gesicki outperforms current expectations and ADP as the third option in Cincinnati's passing game. Outside of deep leagues, however, the athletic tight end shouldn't be drafted.

Colts, Jonathan Taylor agree to 3-year extension

Before the 2023 NFL season had started, it seemed just as likely that running back Jonathan Taylor would play for someone else as he would play for the Indianapolis Colts this season.

We now have clarity on Taylor's situation, however, as he and the Colts have agreed to a three-year extension worth $42 million including $26.5 million in guarantees, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

As Schefter notes, it's the first time that a running back has secured a long-term deal of more than $10 million per year since Nick Chubb did so in 2021.

Taylor missed the first four games while placed on the PUP list, and Zack Moss has been a productive fantasy running back — RB10, RB4 and RB21 (half-PPR scoring) — in his three games this season. That said, Taylor will obviously dominate backfield touches going forward.

The Colts face the Tennessee Titans in Week 5, and they have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.

Jonathan Taylor	148.7	691.5	4.61	20.6	154.2	0.8	127.33

Evan Hull	41.5	178.5	0.91	4.7	38.5	0.2	30.71

Jonathan Taylor: There is a lot of uncertainty with Taylor heading into 2023, but one thing is certain — he will miss a minimum of four games. Even though the self-imposed deadline to find a trade partner has passed, will he be dealt at some point before the official trade deadline (Oct. 31st at 4 p.m. ET)? If he's not traded, is he really physically unable to perform? Can we count on Jim Irsay to not make a bad situation even worse (again) over the next four-plus weeks, even though GM Chris Ballard says that "relationships are repairable"? Will he pull a Le'Veon Bell if he's still a Colt after Oct. 31st? If he plays and gets banged up, will he shut it down? On the other hand, if we knew that he'd only miss four games, he'd be a top 10 fantasy running back from Week 5 on.

Zack Moss: Given the current tension between Taylor and the team, it potentially opens up significant opportunities for the team's other backs even beyond Week 4. Moss should be the team's top non-J.T. back (based on the current roster) when he's healthy, but he's been out with a broken arm. It's unclear if he'll be available for Week 1, but Shane Steichen says Moss is "trending in the right direction."

Deon Jackson: Jackson had five games with double-digit touches in 2022 including one with double-digit carries (12) and double-digit receptions (10) in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Taylor (PUP) out and the uncertain status for Moss, Jackson could be in line for a sizable Week 1 role against the Jaguars.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Michael Pittman Jr.	72.8	926.8	5.1	4.4	37.4	0.18	164.5
Alec Pierce	47.5	666.2	3.5	0	0	0	111.37
Josh Downs	40.9	506.5	2.8	0	0	0	87.9
Isaiah McKenzie	27.5	323	1.9	6.7	36.2	0.34	63.11

Michael Pittman Jr.: Pittman set a career high in receptions (99) while averaging a career low in Y/R (9.3) in 2022. While he should lead the receiving corps across the board, fantasy managers should expect some week-to-week inconsistency from Pittman as his rookie quarterback adjusts to the NFL.

Alec Pierce: As noted with Pittman, the offense (and passing game in particular) will likely go through some growing pains, and week-to-week inconsistency is reasonable to expect from Indy's pass catchers. That said, the former second-round pick has the potential to build upon last year's solid rookie numbers (41/593/2, 14.5 Y/R). Both Pierce and Anthony Richardson's strengths align in the vertical passing game, which makes Pierce an intriguing late-round stack with Richardson in best ball formats.

TIGHT ENDS

Will Mallory	6.7	78.9	0.5	14.24
Andrew Ogletree	1.6	20.2	0.1	3.42

Jelani Woods: Woods (hamstring) will unfortunately begin the season on IR, which means he'll miss at least the first four games of the season. An outstanding athlete (4.61 40-yard dash) at his size (6-7, 259), he had some sleeper appeal in an offense that would have likely spread tight end snaps and targets around less than recent coaching staffs. I still expect him to lead the tight end group once he's able to return, but he's best left on the waiver wire in fantasy drafts.

Evan Hull	15.4	66.2	0.34	3.4	27.3	0.2	14.29

Jonathan Taylor: When healthy and happy, Taylor has RB1 overall upside. After all, he's just two seasons removed from finishing as fantasy football's RB1. Beyond what he can do on the football field, however, it's been a summer full of concerns — requesting a trade, leaving and returning to camp (multiple times), PUP list, etc. Another concern is the potential for Anthony Richardson to steal carries from Taylor, who also may see fewer checkdowns if Richardson tucks it and runs when plays break down.

Zack Moss: Given the current tension between Taylor and the team, it potentially opens up significant opportunities for the team's other backs. Moss should be the team's RB2 (RB1 if Taylor misses time) when he's healthy, but he's currently out with a broken arm. His timetable puts his return close to Week 1.

Deon Jackson: Jackson had five games with double-digit touches in 2022 including one with double-digit carries (12) and double-digit receptions (10) in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. There is a non-zero chance that Jackson has a sizable Week 1 role against the Jaguars, given the uncertainty currently surrounding Taylor and Moss.

Will Mallory	5.1	58.3	0.4	10.78

Jelani Woods: Woods is an outstanding athlete (4.61 40-yard dash) for someone his size (6-7, 259) and he heads into his second season with some sleeper appeal. Shane Steichen is less likely to spread tight end snaps around the way that Frank Reich has in the past, and Woods should be the biggest benefactor. As the IndyStar notes, "Woods is the only Indianapolis tight end who's shown he has the athleticism to stretch the field the way [Dallas] Goedert can."

Gardner Minshew	71.3	44.4	509.8	3.21	1.6	9.1	23.7	0.18	33.48

Anthony Richardson: Indianapolis was arguably the ideal landing spot for Richardson. After all, new coach Shane Steichen tailored Philadelphia's offense to best suit the skill set of Jalen Hurts. Ups and downs should be expected for Richardson, but his elite athletic profile gives him enormous rushing upside from the start. Given his built-in familiarity with the offense, however, it's possible that Gardner Minshew starts Week 1 before Richardson is eased in, but it looks like Richardson will be the starter.

Evan Hull	12.9	55.5	0.28	3.4	26.7	0.2	12.8

Jonathan Taylor: Taylor is one season removed from finishing as fantasy football's overall RB1, but he's also just one week removed from requesting a trade. Another (and more minor) concern is the potential for Anthony Richardson to steal carries from Taylor, who may also see fewer checkdowns if Richardson tucks it and runs when plays break down.

Zack Moss: Taylor's recent trade request makes both Moss and Deon Jackson immediately more fantasy-relevant, although it seems unlikely that the Colts will honor that request. That said, Moss is out for the next 4-6 weeks following surgery after recently breaking his arm. The six-week timetable puts his Week 1 status into question.

Deon Jackson: Jackson had five games with double-digit touches in 2022 including one with double-digit carries (12) and double-digit receptions (10) in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While Moss most likely settles in as the RB2 behind Taylor, Moss is out 4-6 weeks and that timetable puts Moss's status for the season opener against the Jags into question.

Week 6 Fantasy Football RB Start'em, Sit'em

The decision on which player to start, or sit, largely comes down to the options on your roster (and/or possibly the players available on your league's waiver wire).

As an example, Zack Moss is listed below as a "start" for Week 6. And I'd certainly be comfortable going into Week 6 with him as one of my starting running backs.

Then again, Moss may be a "sit" for your team.

In other words, if you roster Najee Harris, Austin Ekeler and Moss and start only two running backs, you should start Harris and Ekeler and, in turn, bench Moss.

For a more direct answer on whether we would start Player X over Player Y, check our Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings. Instead of making those direct comparisons, the goal here is to highlight players that we like, or dislike, for the week.

Week 6 Fantasy Football RB Start'em

Kareem Hunt, Cleveland Browns (vs. ARI)

While the Dallas Cowboys would make their case, the Browns have the league's best 1-2 punch with Nick Chubb and Hunt. Not only did Chubb (RB9) and Hunt (RB10) finish 2020 as top-10 fantasy running backs, but they have been even better so far this season. Through Week 5, Hunt is fantasy's RB5 in half-PPR scoring and Chubb is RB8.

Among running backs, Hunt is tied for 18th in touches (72), but he ranks 11th in targets (20), ninth in receptions (17), 14th in YFS/G (89) and fourth in TDs (five). Sharing the workload with Chubb, who actually has 23 more touches season-to-date, Hunt has had a minimum of 14 touches in each of the past four weeks.

Given that Chubb (calf) has been ruled out for Week 6, Hunt is one of the top plays at the position overall. Hunt has scored more than 15 fantasy points in four of five games and at least 23 fantasy points in two of his past three games.

James Robinson, Jacksonville Jaguars (vs. MIA)

Robinson is coming off a season-best performance against the Tennessee Titans. In Week 5, he had 18 carries for 149 yards and a touchdown. Robinson has three consecutive games with a minimum of 19 touches and 20-plus fantasy points. In all three of those games, he has finished as a top-10 fantasy running back.

The Miami Dolphins have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. The Dolphins have allowed three 100-yard rushers this season -- Damien Harris (Week 1), Peyton Barber (Week 3) and Jonathan Taylor (Week 4).

The Jaguars are only three-point underdogs in London this weekend. In other words, the possibility of a negative game script isn't as high as it would normally be for a team looking to end its 20-game losing streak.

Zack Moss, Buffalo Bills (at TEN)

While the Bills are a pass-first team, Moss continues to emerge as the team's RB1 over Devin Singletary. Moss was a Week 1 scratch and the duo has a nearly identical workload split since then (54 touches for Moss, 49 for Singletary). That said, Moss has been much more productive over that stretch.

With four touchdowns over that span, Moss (13.45/G) has averaged nearly twice as many half-PPR fantasy points than Singletary (7.78/G). In those four games, Moss has finished as the weekly RB16, RB14, RB24 and RB28, respectively. As usual, the Bills have one of the week's highest implied totals.

Khalil Herbert, Chicago Bears (vs. GB)

Herbert had 18 carries for 75 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. With Damien Williams expected to miss Week 6, Herbert should see another large workload when the Bears host the Green Bay Packers.

"You saw some really good times where he hit that zone and he stuck that right or left foot in the ground, planted it, and he went north and south and got 7, 8 yards every time," Matt Nagy said. "I like his vision. I like his patience. I also like his toughness, and you guys see it when he's returning kickoffs. He's smooth, and people bounce off him, so he's got good contact balance."

Week 6 Fantasy Football RB Sit'em

James Conner, Arizona Cardinals (at CLE)

Through five weeks, Conner has season highs of 53 rushing yards and 66 scrimmage yards. While those are season highs, his per-game averages are 40.2 rushing yards and 47.0 YFS.

Conner needs a touchdown -- or more precisely, two of them -- to be a top-24 fantasy running back. Fortunately, he's scored five touchdowns in the past three weeks. In the games that he has scored twice this season, he has finished as the RB12 and RB8, respectively.

In the games that he has scored only one touchdown or none at all, Conner has finished as the weekly RB44, RB58 and RB31, respectively. The Browns have one of the league's best defenses and they have allowed only 3.21 YPC on the 90 running back carries they have faced.

Alex Collins, Seattle Seahawks (at PIT)

With Chris Carson placed on IR, Collins should handle the bulk of the backfield's workload this week and the next couple of weeks. Given that Russell Wilson has also been placed on IR and the Seahawks have a difficult matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Collins is more of a volume-based flex than RB2 this week.

The Steelers have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. As five-point road underdogs in Pittsburgh, the Seahawks have the second-lowest implied total in Week 6, ahead of only the Houston Texans.

Devin Singletary, Buffalo Bills (at TEN)

Singletary had at least 12 touches in his first four games of the season, but the third-year back had only seven touches last week. Given that Josh Allen is always a threat to vulture a rushing touchdown and Moss is more likely than Singletary to get goal-line opportunities, Singletary is a low-floor flex.

Latavius Murray, Baltimore Ravens (vs. LAC)

Despite getting 19 fewer carries on the season, Ty'Son Williams (170, 5.48 YPC) has more rushing yards than Murray (168, 3.36 YPC). Even though he has the largest running back workload, Murray has been extremely inefficient (3.36 YPC) and was not targeted in any of the team's first four games. While he was targeted three times last week, Murray has single-digit touches in three of his past four games.

The Ravens have one of the week's highest implied totals, which makes Murray a TD-dependent flex option.

Fantasy Football Projections 2021: Buffalo Bills

Our 2021 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2021 fantasy football projections for the Buffalo Bills.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Josh Allen	604.8	411.3	4657	35.99	11.19	79.6	350.2	5.97	378.7
Mitchell Trubisky	38.6	25.2	262.5	1.81	0.97	5.2	19.2	0.2	18.92

Josh Allen: One of the league's best young dual-threat quarterbacks, Allen has exactly 300 rush attempts in his three NFL seasons and has racked up 1,562 yards and 25 touchdowns on the ground. Remarkably, he has rushed for at least eight touchdowns in all three of his NFL seasons. Since his rookie season (2018), Allen has 22.32% of the team's rush attempts, 27.11% of the rushing yards and 56.82% of the rushing touchdowns.

Shatterering previous career bests across the board in 2020, Allen threw for 4,544 yards (284.0/G, 7.9/A) and 37 touchdowns (6.5 TD%) with only 10 interceptions (1.7%). Despite last year's unusual offseason, the trade for Stefon Diggs paid immediate dividends as the duo's instant rapport allowed Diggs to post career highs across the board as well.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Zack Moss	154	669.9	5.47	30.1	226.3	2.3	151.29
Devin Singletary	134.1	583.3	2.28	32.3	241.1	2.2	125.47
Matt Breida	31.4	142.9	0.63	9.4	66.4	0.7	33.61
Taiwan Jones	4.2	18.1	0.08	0	0	0	2.29

Zack Moss: The good news for Moss is that he's likely to lead the team's backs in fantasy production. The bad news is that the Bills won't run it nearly as much as one would expect for a team that will have as many positive game scripts as they will likely have. In addition, Josh Allen is a threat to vulture many of the scoring opportunities (25 rushing TDs over three seasons).

Devin Singletary: Singletary followed up his rookie season with 687 rushing yards (4.4 YPC) and two touchdowns to go along with 38 catches for 269 yards. While I would prefer Moss over Singletary, neither is much more than a flex option heading into 2021. On a positive note, however, coach Sean McDermott has praised Singletary for "really trying to master the small things that come up down in and down out. ... I've really been impressed with his attention to detail over the past few days."

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Stefon Diggs	114.6	1446.3	8.9	1	5.3	0.01	255.92
Cole Beasley	69.8	762.5	3.8	0	0	0	133.95
Gabriel Davis	48	659.2	6	0	0	0	125.92
Emmanuel Sanders	50.4	605.1	5.1	0	0	0	116.31
Isaiah McKenzie	16.4	164.8	2.1	9.4	40	0.24	42.72
Jake Kumerow	10.9	159.9	1.3	0	0	0	29.24

Stefon Diggs: Things could not have gone better for Diggs in his first season with the Bills. Buffalo's starters played fewer snaps than usual in Week 17, as Diggs played a season-low 48% of the team's offensive snaps in the regular-season finale. Even so, that Week 17 performance (7/76) was the only game over the final five weeks where Diggs had fewer than 128 receiving yards. A top-three performer across all scoring formats, Diggs led the league in targets (166), receptions (127) and yards (1,535) in 2020.

Cole Beasley: The recipient of triple-digit targets in back-to-back seasons, Beasley posted career highs in receptions (82) and catch rate (76.6%) as well as in yards (967), yards per reception (11.8), per target (9.0) and per game (64.5) in 2020. Catching only four touchdowns last season, Beasley has still finished as a top-36 wide receiver in both of his seasons as a Bill.

Gabriel Davis: Without signing Emmanuel Sanders to partially fill the void created by John Brown's release, there would be more hype for Davis as a 2021 breakout candidate. As a rookie, the 2020 fourth-round pick ended the year with 35 receptions for 599 yards (17.1 Y/R) and seven touchdowns. The talent is there for Davis to command an expanded role.

Emmanuel Sanders: Sanders and Davis will likely be competing for snaps to join Diggs and Beasley in three-wide sets. Even though the passing offense will be one of the league's best, both are only bench stashes heading into the season.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Dawson Knox	42.6	464.9	4.3	0	0	0	93.59
Tommy Sweeney	12	123	1.1	0	0	0	24.9

Dawson Knox: Knox missed four games in 2020 and his per-game numbers last season (2.0/24.0/0.25) weren't much different than his rookie averages (1.87/25.9/0.13). One of the more athletic tight ends in the league, there is potential for a year-over-year improvement in his third season, but he will likely rank fourth or fifth in pecking order amongst the team's pass catchers.

Since his rookie season (2008), Allen has 22.32% of the team's rush attempts, 27.11% of the rushing yards and 56.82% of the rushing touchdowns.

Continuing to make major strides as a passer, Allen shattered previous career bests across the board in 2020. In his third season, Allen threw for 4,544 yards (284.0/G, 7.9/A) and 37 touchdowns (6.5 TD%) with only 10 interceptions (1.7%).

Antonio Williams	4.2	18.5	0.13	2.2	17.4	0.2	6.67

Zack Moss: Many 2021 mock drafts linked the Bills to a first-round running back. Instead of adding an early-round running back, it's a positive for the outlook of Moss and Devin Singletary that the Bills only added Matt Breida in free agency. While I prefer Moss over Singletary, a concern for both is that Josh Allen has 25 rushing touchdowns over the past three seasons. Not only has Allen led the team in that category in each of the past three years, he has 56.8% (25 of 44) of the team's rushing touchdowns over that stretch.

Devin Singletary: Singletary followed up his rookie season with 687 rushing yards (4.4 YPC) and two touchdowns to go along with 38 catches for 269 yards. While I would prefer Moss over Singletary, both are not much more than a flex option heading into 2021. On a positive note, however, coach Sean McDermott has praised Singletary for "really trying to master the small things that come up down in and down out. ... I've really been impressed with his attention to detail over the past few days."

Isaiah Hodgins	4.4	49.7	0.5	0	0	0	10.17

Emmanuel Sanders: Most fantasy rankings will project Diggs, Beasley and Davis as the team's top-three receivers, but at least one beat reporter (The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia) believes that Sanders could factor into the offense more than Davis. Buscaglia described Sanders' contract as a "weighty contract indicative of a substantial role in the offense" and wrote that "all of the Bills' actions in the offseason were not of a team confident that Davis was ready to step into an enormous role."

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Dawson Knox	36.3	397.7	3.9	81.32
Jacob Hollister	22	236.1	2	46.61

Dawson Knox: Knox missed four games in 2020 and his per-game numbers last season (2.0/24.0/0.25) weren't much different than his rookie averages (1.87/25.9/0.13). One of the more athletic tight ends in the league, there is the potential for a year-over-year improvement in his third season, but he will likely rank fourth or fifth in pecking order amongst the team's pass catchers. In fact, Josh Allen's Wyoming teammate, Jacob Hollister, could wind up moving ahead of Knox on the depth chart.
