Bills HC Sean McDermott announced Friday that Edge Joey Bosa and LB Terrel Bernard will miss Sunday's game against the Bengals. It's no surprise for Bernard, who was said to be an IR candidate when he initially suffered his elbow injury. (He has missed one game since.) It's also not a shock for Bosa, who left last Sunday's win over the Steelers early with a hamstring injury.
2025 Fantasy Football Impact
Shaq Thompson led Bills LBs in playing time with Bernard out last week. Matt Milano trailed close behind. Expect that to continue, which is already how we've been treating it in the Week 14 LB rankings.
Interestingly, rookie DT T.J. Sanders looks like the primary gainer in edge playing time. According to Pro Football Focus, Sanders spent has spent just three snaps at a DT spot over his three games back from IR, compared with 51 in an end or edge position.
That's not enough to make Sanders a worthwhile candidate for IDP lineups this week, though.
The Buffalo D wouldn't have been a real fantasy option against Cincinnati this weekend even if both starters were ready to play.
