Monday Update:

James Cook is out this week with a toe injury. Ray Davis becomes a top Captain and flex play. He should be the most popular captain play on this slate given the volume and price. Ty Johnson will also have a role in this game and could be a solid flex play.

Disclaimer

These contests are intended to be fun as you’re watching the game. It’s incredibly difficult to get a real edge as there are so few options, and in MME contests, there are often many duplicate lineups. One play or one penalty can change the entire outcome of the game.

Game Strategy

  • Over/Under: 41
  • Spread: Bills -2.5
  • Bills Implied Team Total: 21.8
  • Jets Implied Team Total: 19.3

This projects as a low-scoring affair. The Bills are favored but the Jets are at home. Lock in Josh Allen and then get weird from there.

Injury Roundup

Captain Consideration

Buffalo Bills Showdown Players

Quarterback

Josh Allen - Captain/Flex

Josh Allen uncharacteristically isn't throwing for many yards this season but he's still getting it done. He ranks sixth at the quarterback position in DraftKings points per game (19.6), seventh in pass touchdowns per game (1.6), and leads a Bills offense that ranks fifth in EPA/Play. Despite the tough projected matchup, the Bills are favorites in this one and it's tough to envision making any lineups without Allen.
