Buffalo Bills Rumors: LeSean McCoy, Sammy Watkins Active Week 10, Karlos Williams Fantasy Sleeper as Robert Woods, Charles Clay Struggle

Nov 12, 2015 10:15 AM EST

The Buffalo Bills are looking to ride the momentum recently built in the win over the Miami Dolphins as they head into a heated matchup against the New York Jets. With injuries having been a major issue for the team all season, they might not play much of a role in Week 10 as the Bills are expecting to have a full roster heading into Thursday's game.

Sammy Watkins has been dealing with an ankle injury. LeSean McCoy has been dealing with a shoulder injury. However, According to Mike Rodak of ESPN.com, both players are expected to be good to go for the game against the Jets. Both players have been active in practice while being listed as questionable all week on the injury report, but they are expected to play. McCoy already made that guarantee earlier in the week. The running back made it clear that it would take a lot to get him off the field for this game. That is good news considering he and Karlos Williams both accounted for over 100 yards in the Week 9 win.

"I believe he will, I believe he'll play," Ryan said, via ESPN.com. "How significant his role will be? I'm not real sure right now. But obviously we feel good about who we have behind him, with Karlos [Williams] and things. If [McCoy] is not up to 100 percent -- obviously, you want him to play. It's a huge game for us. And if he's healthy, then he's gonna be out there."

McCoy could certainly be limited in the game, but that is not a big deal for the Bills who have been riding the breakout year of Williams. The rookie running back is a perfect fill in for McCoy when he is injured and that will be the case against the Jets on Thursday. Without Watkins, the Bills would really be in trouble. Percy Harvin is done for the year. Robert Woods went catchless in Week 9. Charles Clay has not been the best return on investment for the Bills. Watkins needs to be healthy as he gets ready for a matchup against Darrelle Revis.

"Most definitely. I'm pretty sure he'll be following me around. I look forward to it," Watkins said, per Tyler Dunne of The Buffalo News. "As a receiver who wants to be noticed as a top receiver, you definitely want to go against those type of guys."

Tyrod Taylor is also running at full speed for the Bills which is good news as he prepares to face off against the half-healthy Ryan Fitzpatrick. This game comes with plenty of storylines, but injuries will not be one of them for Buffalo.
