Start — Justin Hunter — Wide Receiver

For the record, let me just say that I firmly believe this week’s game between the Buffalo Bills and the Oakland Raiders will be an extremely tough one for our beloved Bills. The Raiders are tough on both sides of the football and will present a tough opposition for Buffalo. Unless the team has a much better performance than the one they had lest week, I don’t see a win in our future.

With that out of the way, one player I do believe will have a good fantasy day is wide receiver Justin Hunter. Having recorded four touchdowns this season — including two in the last two games — Hunter is likely to see an increase in first team reps this week. A fairly big receiving target near the endzone, look for Hunter to have a shot at a receiving score.

If that holds and Hunter all manages to get some other receptions throughout the contest, Hunter could be in for his best fantasy performance this season and one that could deliver some solid stats for a midweek fantasy pickup.

Drop –Tyrod Taylor — Quarterback

Outside of both Sammy Watkins and Justin Hunter, the Buffalo Bills offense has zero other true receiving threats. While their is Charles Clay and LeSean McCoy, they won’t be delivering the big numbers that are needed fr a quarterback to be starting in the world of fantasy football. In fact, you may even be able to tag Tyrod as a permanent drop for the remainder of this season.

Though Watkins return does give the Buffalo Bills a true deep threat option to rack up thos yards, the lack of passing from this offense is the primary concern. The running game lead by LeSean McCoy continues to get the most work every week and is also the leader in terms of offensive production.

With so many other quarterbacks starting this week, almost all of them would provide you with a better fantasy option than Tyrod Taylor. Again, this drop is not just for this week but also for the remainder of the 2016 campaign.
