Ed Oliver Fantasy

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver (ankle), defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (hamstring) and cornerback Dane Jackson (neck) have all been ruled out for Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins. Safety Micah Hyde (neck) was also ruled out, and safety Jordan Poyer (foot) is questionable. Oliver will miss his second straight game. Buffalo's defense has looked like one of the top units in football through the first two weeks against strong opponents in the Rams and Titans, but they're going into this Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins pretty beat up. The Bills defense/special teams is still a must-start at this point, but they could have some trouble against a Dolphins offense that put up 40-plus points in a miraculous comeback win over the Ravens.

Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver, who was arrested on Saturday night in Houston on misdemeanor DWI and weapon charges, is still taking part in the team's virtual offseason program, according to a league source. The Bills will let Oliver's legal process play out. The former No. 9 overall pick in 2019 had a solid rookie season in 2019, recording 43 tackles (24 solo), five tackles for loss, eight QB hits, five sacks and a forced fumble in 16 games (seven starts). The Bills stout defense could take a hit in the trenches to open the season if Oliver is handed a suspension by the league.

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver was arrested on Saturday night in his hometown of Houston. He was charged with driving while intoxicated and unlawfully carrying a weapon. Both charges are considered misdemeanors, according to the jail's website. These sort of charges could result in anything from a two to six game suspension for the upcoming season. Oliver is coming off a solid rookie campaign where he recorded 43 tackles and five sacks last season. Losing the former No. 9 overall pick from 2019 would hurt, but we'll wait and see what happens.
