Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Barring a setback, Brown should be expected to suit up in Week 2 against the Dolphins. The 30-year-old had six catches on a team-high 10 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Jets, but he should see a lot of cornerback Byron Jones this Sunday. Brown beat Miami for three touchdowns in his two meetings with them last year, but things might be a bit more difficult this time around. Don't forget that Stefon Diggs is Buffalo's top wideout. Treat Brown as a WR3/flex this week and don't expect a repeat of his Week 1 numbers.
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has been lost in the shuffle, but was able to haul in two receptions for 26 yards during their Week 1 victory. Knox has big play potential, but the Bills have Stefon Diggs, John Brown (foot), and Cole Beasley who are all targeted more often than him. It'll be tough for him to see more than three or four targets per game, but that could change in Week 2. Brown is in danger of missing the game, which could mean quarterback Josh Allen looks his way a few more times. Knox should still be avoided in 12-team league regardless. However, he could have some value in deeper leagues if Brown is out.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley is not normally a reliable fantasy option most weeks. However, John Brown (foot) was held out of Wednesday's practice and is in danger of missing their Week 2 contest against the Miami Dolphins. Brown's absence would mean more playing time for Beasley. He finished with four receptions on seven targets for 58 yards in Week 1. He could be worth a look as a flex option, assuming Brown sits out. Otherwise, he'll likely remain only a deep league candidate.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown (foot) was held out of Wednesday's practice. He was on the field for almost every snap during their Week 1 victory over the New York Jets. Brown hauled in six of his 10 targets for 70 yards and one touchdown in that contest. However, the Bills are in danger of being without their deep threat for this one. Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis could gain some fantasy value, assuming Brown sits out. They might be able to have some low-end flex value, but would probably be better used in deep leagues. Fantasy owners will have to check back later in the week for another update on Brown.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs had a fairly strong debut with his new team. He hauled in eight of his nine targets for 86 yards in the victory over the New York Jets. The Bills ran away with the game early, so they didn't need to target Diggs much in the second half. Quarterback Josh Allen loves to throw deep, so Diggs should have strong value against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2. Fantasy owners should be able to trust him as a WR2 against the shaky Dolphins secondary.
