Buffalo was absolutely destroyed by Dallas while the Dolphins gutted out a tough one over the Redskins.
 
Like Minnesota in regard to their “showing” against Green Bay, Buffalo needs to dispose of the Dallas game tape if it hasn’t already. Their performance does not warrant any discussion. But while Ryan Fitzpatrick has fallen out of favor with a lot of Fantasy owners, he has a great matchup this week. You could probably do much, much worse. Fred Jackson is still money, and if Steve Johnson can’t go (his status was up in the air at mid-week) David Nelson could be a strong sleeper.
 
The Dolphins continue to play extremely hard even though their playoff hopes disappeared weeks and weeks ago. It’s only logical, then, that they’ll be up even more for a divisional opponent. Matt Moore (209 yds., 0 TDs, 1 INT) crashed back to earth after his previous-week performance against the Chiefs, but Brandon Marshall still managed to come up only two yards shy of a 100-yard game. Reggie Bush continues to be one of the biggest Fantasy surprises of the second half of the season. In his last three games, Bush has nearly 250 yards rushing and 3 TDs.
 
This could be a big rebound week for the Buffalo offense, no matter how hard Miami plays. The Dolphins still have a bad pass defense, having allowed 256 YPG and 14 TDs through the air. Jackson could find the going a little tougher than usual, seeing how Miami has given up only 3 TDs on the ground this season. They do, however, allow an average of 105 YPG. Moore can’t be trusted, but Bush has a hot hand and Marshall has been strong his last couple of games. Buffalo gives up 261 YPG through the air and has allowed 14 passing TDs. On the ground, the Bills allow 125 YPG and have given up 11 TDs.
 
GOOD STARTS: QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, RB Fred Jackson, RB Reggie Bush, WR Brandon Marshall
 
MIDDLE OF THE ROAD STARTS: WR David Nelson
 
BAD STARTS: RB Daniel Thomas – he could very well prove me wrong and shine, but it looks like Bush has clearly overtaken him in the Miami pecking order, even though it appears the rookie is completely healthy.
