Buffalo Bills DFS Spin
Adjusting for down, distance, and game situation, the Bills are the second most pass happy team in the league, behind only Kansas City. Josh Allen has thrown more than 40 passes six times this season, including 43 attempts in Week 14’s win over Pittsburgh. Along with his rushing prowess, the pass volume gives Allen one of fantasy football’s highest weekly floors and ceilings. Nearly 73 percent of the team’s offensive yardage has come via the pass, the seventh highest rate in the league. Buffalo’s pass-heavy ways have led to Stefon Diggs leading the league in receptions through 14 weeks and Cole Beasley becoming a reliable fantasy option when healthy. Allen and the Bills pass catchers have a solid Week 15 matchup against Denver.
Denver Broncos DFS Spin
Melvin Gordon (shoulder) is questionable for Week 15 against the Bills. Phillip Lindsay (hip) is also considered questionable. Even so, both are expected to play in a rough matchup opposite Buffalo’s front-seven that has stuffed Austin Ekeler (14/44), Raheem Mostert (9/42), and James Conner (10/18) since returning healthy from its bye. Both Gordon and Lindsay fall in line as low-end RB2/3s that will need to get there on efficiency rather than volume to keep fantasy players alive for the Championship in Week 16.
