Buffalo Bills

Tyrod Taylor (Quarterback): Taylor had a stellar day completing 21 out of 29 pass attempts for 277 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also added 3 carries for 12 yards on his great day through the air. Taylor proved his value as a passing quarterback in what on paper seemed to be a tough matchup with the Dolphins. Instead he made it look easy; Taylor is the real deal and will be a QB1 when the Giants come to Buffalo.

Percy Harvin (Wide Receiver): Harvin had a solid game catching 7 out of 8 of his targets for 66 yards and also carried the ball twice for 16 yards. Harvin is beginning to look like Taylor's number one option when Watkins is not on the field.

Charles Clay (Tight End): Clay had a nice game registering 82 yards and a touchdown on 5 out of 7 targets. Clay has had a touchdown in the past two games and could be finding his groove early in the season.

LeSean McCoy/Karlos Williams (Running Back): McCoy was struggling through injury for most of the game however still turned in a good fantasy performance. McCoy had 11 carries for 16 yards but added a 10 yard touchdown reception to help fantasy owners cope with an off day. Karlos Williams got the lion's share of the work with 12 carries for 110 yards and a touchdown. Whoever starts for Buffalo against the Giants will be in for a big game.

Miami Dolphins

Jarvis Landry/Rishard Matthews (Wide Receivers): Landry has been the number one receiver in Miami for some time. However Rishard Matthews might upset Landry and he ended up helping Ryan Tannehill more than any receiver in that offense. Matthews was the primary end zone threat finishing with 2 touchdowns, 113 yards and reeled in 6 out of 10 receptions. Landry was slightly behind him catching 8 out of 13 receptions for 67 yards. As long as Landry is blanketed in coverage Matthews will play a vital role in the offense.

Jordan Cameron (Tight End): Cameron was largely ignored as the Bills defended the tight end perfectly only catching 3 of his 8 targets for 16 yards. Cameron should have better games ahead of him but Tannehill's wide receivers are currently looking like the better option.

Ryan Tannehill (Quarterback): Tannehill had a tough day; he completed 26 of 49 passes for 297 yards and 2 touchdowns. Tannehill also had 3 terrible interceptions that limited his value tremendously. Tannehill is a low tier QB2 next week.

Lamar Miller (Running Back): Miller struggled again as the Dolphins offensive line cannot protect their running backs or quarterbacks for that matter. Miller only had 7 carries for 38 yards and caught 3 of 3 targets for 27 yards.
