Vontae Davis to be their second starting cornerback before the free agency period even began. They crossed off a need on their list and moved on from the oft-injured EJ Gaines. On Sunday Youth Tremaine Edmunds Jersey , Davis was inactive for the first game of the season and most folks seem to think his salary is now some horrible burden. It’s not.A little info: NFL vested veterans, players who have been in the league for at least four years, have their salaries fully guaranteed if they are on the opening day roster. So from the outside, it looks like the Bills guaranteed Davis’ $5 million contract when they kept him on the roster just to make him inactive. “If they weren’t going to play him, they should have cut him so he didn’t get his guaranteed money,” was a refrain I heard Sunday afternoon and even into the evening.That’s not the story.When Davis signed, $3.5 million of his single-year pay was fully guaranteed; $1.5 million of his signing bonus and $2 million of his $2.25 million base salary. The only thing that’s fully guaranteed as a result of Davis being on the roster Sunday is the extra $250,000 of his base salary. The rest was already promised and accounted for.The rest of Davis’ contract is incentive-based. He already made $250,000 for working out this summer. He gets $15,625 for every game he’s still on the 53-man roster and another $46,875 if he’s active. If Buffalo releases Davis today, they only added the $250 Youth Kyle Williams Jersey ,000 in salary plus his roster bonus of $15,625 by not releasing him before the opener. Seems to me like a no-brainer to keep him around.Kelvin Benjamin could be a strong fantasy football play in Week one The NFL football season begins anew on Thursday night, and the Buffalo Bills kick off their slate of games on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. For many of us, that means that we will spend the next seventeen weeks rooting for two teams: the Bills, and the group of real humans that we compiled onto our own fake team in our fantasy football league. If you’re a homer like me, you have at least one Bills player on your team. If you’re smart (unlike me), that player wasn’t Corey Coleman. Oops.Each week, we’ll take a look at the players we feel could have a solid fantasy matchup for the Bills and their opponents. Here, we preview the Bills who should be considered playable this week in Baltimore.RB LeSean McCoyThe Ravens pose a tough matchup for the Bills at all positions, truthfully, but chances are good that if McCoy is on your roster, you drafted him to be your RB1 or RB2. You aren’t going to sit him in your first game Dion Dawkins Jersey , nor should you, even with a tough defense like Baltimore’s. Yahoo! projects McCoy to score 12.8 points in a half-PPR setup, which is 22nd among running backs this week. They have him rushing for 69 yards and making 3 catches for 22 yards. I think that the rushing total might be accurate, but the receiving total could be much higher, as the Bills will look to keep quarterback Nathan Peterman upright in a quick, timing-based offense. McCoy is a solid, if unspectacular play this week.WR Kelvin BenjaminSomebody has to catch the ball, right? If one thing is clear about Buffalo’s passing game, it’s that there is an obvious trust between Peterman and Benjamin. Last year, Benjamin only caught 17 passes with the Bills, counting the playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, for a total of 226 yards and 1 touchdown. With Peterman throwing to him Vladimir Ducasse Jersey , Benjamin caught 6 passes for 91 yards and a touchdown. Baltimore will be without top corner Jimmy Smith in the game, meaning that either second-year man Marlon Humphrey (6’, 203 pounds) or veteran Brandon Carr (6’, 210 pounds) will have to cover the 6’5,” 245 pound behemoth. Yahoo! has Benjamin at 4 catches for 44 yards on the day, but all he needs is a touchdown for that to be a flex-worthy line. I think he’ll surpass both their projected catch total and yardage total this week.K Stephen HauschkaIf you’re in the group that doesn’t think that Buffalo will do much offensively, Hausch-money is a good player to roster. Baltimore’s stout defense could keep Buffalo out of the end zone, and if they do, Hauschka could be the Bills’ best chance at scoring. If you’re in a league that rewards kickers for making longer field goals, Hauschka is definitely a good player to have. He was 7-for-9 on kicks of 50 yards or more in 2017, and he has made 23-of-33 kicks from that distance over his NFL career. The extra points for extra distance could give you a nice boost this weekend. « Which Game Will Be Most Critical In The Fourth Quarter Of The Redskins Season?Lions RB Kerryon Johnson’s night vs. Patriots was even better than you think » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
