The Buffalo Bills laid another offensive egg this week

Doug Flutie Jerseys Stitched , wasting a tremendous effort from the defense against the New England Patriots in a 25-6 loss on Monday Night Football. Even an exotic game plan full of wild runs and Tecmo Super Bowl play calls couldn’t shake the funk from Buffalo’s moribund offense. While it was another atrocious day in real life for Buffalo’s offense, there were a few players who registered decent fantasy football scores for the week. Here are Buffalo’s top scorers from Week 8.RB LeSean McCoyShady only managed 13 rushing yards on the day, taking 12 carries to do so, which makes his inclusion on the list a bit surprising. However, it was his day as a pass receiver that provided his fantasy worth, as he hauled in 6 passes for 82 yards, leading Buffalo in both categories. McCoy’s 12.5 fantasy points last night was his high for the season.K Stephen HauschkaBuffalo’s only source of scoring was their excellent field goal kicker, who nailed both of his long attempts on the day. His first kick was good from 47 yards away, which is worth 4 points in fantasy football; his second kick was good from 50 yards out, a 5-point fantasy effort, giving him 9 total fantasy points on the day. With Buffalo’s offense continuing to play so poorly, Hauschka remains the best fantasy football player the Bills have in 2018.WR Zay JonesIf there is one positive to take away from the season so far, it’s that Jones has begun to resemble the high-level wideout the Bills thought they were selecting last season. Jones had another solid day at the office this week, posting 6 receptions for 55 yards, good for 8.5 fantasy points. Jones is the best route runner among Buffalo’s receivers, and he is the only one of the bunch who can create some semblance of separation on his routes Youth Jim Kelly Jerseys , as he has been fairly effective in the slot. The second-year man needed to take a step forward this year, and he has done so even as the offense has taken three giant leaps backwards from a year ago. The Buffalo Bills signed Trent Murphy in 2018 as a way to bolster their sagging pass rush opposite Jerry Hughes. Murphy, coming off a torn ACL and a PED suspension, was eased into training camp, the preseason, and regular season as he worked his way back.Over the course of the year, he had long stretches of invisibility on the field, but has a high motor and sharp work ethic. Does all of that combine to continue paying him $8 million per season?We dove into replacement options and his film to decide.All-22 Analysis(Read the entire article by Jeff Kantrowski)Trent Murphy showed flashes of his 2016 form and remains an intriguing player when it comes to potential. At age 28 and with only two seasons at defensive end under his belt it’s not unreasonable to think Murphy might improve some. To be clear, Murphy simply becoming more consistent with a few skills should lead to improvement.It’s hard to separate the Trent Murphy conversation from the Shaq Lawson one, with both players primarily working from the left defensive end position. When healthy, it was clear that Sean McDermott and Leslie Frazier preferred Murphy (as evidenced by snap counts). Missing three games and needing to be eased into a few others to accommodate for injury, Murphy’s durability is a concern. Shaq Lawson also had a better season than expected. Both factors could lead to Murphy being a surprise cut, though I don’t see it happening personally.Salary Cap Cost(Read the entire article by Dylan Zadonowicz)If the Bills were to move on from Murphy after just one season, they’d save a decent amount of money but would have some dead money with it, giving the Bills only about $1.5 million in cash they can spend. Numbers via Spotrac:2019 cap hit: $8.48 millionSalary due: $5.725 millionRoster bonus: $500,000Per game active bonus: $31 Jim Kelly Jerseys Stitched ,250Dead money if cut: $3.5 millionCap savings if cut before roster bonus: $4.98 millionCap savings if cut after roster bonus: $4.48 millionIn-house Replacement Options(Read the entire article by John Boccacino)The most logical in-house replacement is Shaq Lawson. Lawson struggled to make an impact in Rex Ryan’s 3-4 scheme during his rookie season, and didn’t get much better in 2017—the first season with Sean McDermott as head coach and Frazier as defensive coordinator. But in 2018, Lawson turned a corner and showed why Buffalo selected him with the 19th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Clemson.After appearing in 14 games (six starts) and finishing with four sacks, 12 QB hits, 30 total tackles (five for a loss), five passes defended, and two forced fumbles, Pro Football Focus graded Lawson as the league’s 20th-best edge rusher. The 24-year-old Lawson carries a $3,270,586 million cap hit that is fully-guaranteed in 2019, but one season removed from an even timeshare with Murphy on the left side of the defensive line, Lawson should be in line for even more action this year. Lawson displayed the same athleticism that made him a standout at Clemson, leading the defensive line in balls batted down at the line of scrimmage, and when he wasn’t sacking the quarterback he was causing chaos in the opposing backfield.When it comes to Lawson’s role with the Bills, the biggest issue isn’t whether he will have a place on Frazier’s defense in 2019—he has proven himself to be a valuable contributor—it’s what the Bills will do about the fifth-year option on Lawson’s rookie contract.Free-Agent Replacement Options(Read the entire article by Sean Murphy)If Buffalo does decide to go the free-agent route, it’s a strong free-agent class to do so. The only problem Youth O. J. Simpson Jerseys , of course, is money. If Buffalo wants to land a big-name pass rusher, they will have to shell out big-time dollars at the expense, literally and figuratively, of other positions with more pressing needs.DeMarcus LawrenceThe golden goose of this year’s free agent class is the young, dominant pass rusher. Coming off his second straight season of at least ten sacks, Lawrence turns 27 in April, and he should command a contract of at least $100 million. Over the last two seasons, he has 25 sacks, 29 tackles for loss, and 49 quarterback hits.Ezekiel AnsahThe veteran former first-round pick of the Detroit Lions is coming off an injury-plagued down year—one where he was only able to play in seven games total. However, he still managed four sacks, three tackles for loss, and seven quarterback hits in those seven games. For comparison’s sake, Hughes suited up in all of Buffalo’s games this year, and he totaled seven sacks O. J. Simpson Jerseys Stitched , 13 tackles for loss, and 18 quarterback hits.Frank ClarkThere may be some East Coast Bias here, but Clark is far more under-the-radar than the previous names on the list. Playing for a stellar Seattle Seahawks defense, Clark has amassed 35 sacks, 35 tackles for loss, and 72 quarterback hits over his four-year career. Last year, he totaled 13 sacks, 27 quarterback hits, four forced fumbles, and one interception.Trey FlowersThe Bills could kill two birds with one stone with this signing, simultaneously strengthening their team and weakening a divisional opponent, the New England Patriots, in the process. Flowers is an excellent all-around player who had seven-and-a-half sacks, nine tackles for loss, and 20 quarterback hits last season. In his career, he has 21 sacks Youth Thurman Thomas Jerseys , 25 tackles for loss, and 59 quarterback hits.NFL Draft Replacement Options(Read the entire article with mini scouting reports by Andrew Griffin)If the Bills do move on at defensive end, the team might best be served procuring some young, hungry talent in the draft. Currently, the 2019 Draft is loaded with talented pass rushers and defensive ends. Knowing the value teams place at the position, as many as five of the players listed below could end up as first-round picks.Tier INick Bosa (Ohio State) Josh Allen (Kentucky)Clelin Ferrell (Clemson)Nick Bosa is more athletic that his brother Joey, something he’ll prove at the combine in March. Importantly, he’s just as polished as Joey was when he came out for the draft. Allen appears to be athletic enough to handle multiple defensive roles, but he’s proven so effective as a pass rusher that coaches would be crazy to try to deploy him anywhere else. Although he isn’t as much of a natural bender as the names listed before him, Ferrell is big enough and good enough with his hands to the point where that lack of flexibility doesn’t matter too much.Tier IIJachai Polite (Florida)Brian Burns (Florida State)Montez Sweat (Mississippi State) Oshane Ximines (Old Dominion)Jaylon Ferguson (Louisiana Tech)Scouting reports available in the full article here.Tier IIICharles Omenihu (Texas)Joe Jackson (Miami-Florida)Zach Allen (Boston College)Ben Banogu (TCU)Scouting reports available in the full article here.Timothy T.
