The Buffalo Bills won against the Texans on Sunday to stay in the playoffs race and heading into Week 14 the team could have Karlos Williams back after the running back was out this weekend with an injury.

According to Bills beat reporter Joe Buscaglia, Rex Ryan said that Williams is a "possibility" for Week 14 after missing the game last week with a shoulder injury. Williams has been a solid backup for LeSean McCoy this season and he has seven total touchdowns in eight games and has averaging 5.7 yards per carry. The Bills are trying to stay in contention in the AFC and having both Williams and McCoy against the Eagles would be a big help on offense.

LeSean McCoy was banged up in the game against the Texans, but he was able to return to the game and he could be a strong fantasy option this weekend against his old team in the Eagles. McCoy along with Sammy Watkins and Charles Clay could be good options for Tyrod Taylor after the Bills put up 30 points against a tough Texans defense. McCoy was checked for a concussion in the game against Houston, but he was cleared and was able to return.

McCoy said that he is prepared to face his old team and that he is motivated to have a big game after being traded by the Eagles. This season McCoy has put up strong numbers for Buffalo, rushing for 749 yards and adding 27 catches for 249 yards and two touchdowns. McCoy made some comments about Eagles head coach Chip Kelly earlier in the year and now he has the chance to show the team what they are missing on the field. The Eagles and Bills both need this game to help stay in playoff contention.

Sammy Watkins has continued to play well during this last stretch of games and he could be poised for another big day against the Eagles. Watkins had three catches for 109 yards and a TD against the Texans last week and he now has three touchdowns in the last two games. Watkins has been over 100 yards in each of the past two games and fantasy owners should feel confident in riding his hot streak.

Charles Clay also found the endzone this week and he comes in after putting up nine catches in the past two games. Taylor has played well over the past two games with six passing touchdowns and no interceptions and he could be a solid pick for fantasy owners this week as well. Taylor has been accurate this season and has 17 touchdowns with just four picks while completing over 64 percent of his passes.

The Buffalo Bills are dealing with an injury on defense, as Stephon Gilmore had to leave the game against the Texans with a shoulder injury. According to Tim Graham of the Buffalo News, Gilmore had his shoulder get "popped out" and Ryan said that the team is hoping the injury is not season ending. Ryan said the team "needs" Gilmore "out there" and that the team will see how things are after more testing. Leodis McKelvin would see more time with Gilmore out.
