Week 6 update:

Josh Allen:
The Bills lost their second game in a row, falling 17-26 against the Chiefs
Stats: 14/27 122 yards 2 TD 1 INT 8 carries 42 yards
Second game in a row where Josh didn't look good. Hopefully he can right the ship soon.

Marcus Epps:
The Eagles lost to the Ravens 28-30
Epps did not play due to a rib injury

Rico Gafford:
The Raiders were on a bye this week

Tashaun Gipson:
The Bears won again, beating Carolina 23-16
Stats: 2 solo tackles 4 assisted tackles 1 pass defended 1 INT
Tashaun with his 2nd pick of the season and 25th of his career. It was REALLY close to a pick six.


Carl Granderson:
The Saints were on a bye this week

Tyler Hall
The Falcons beat the Vikings 40-23
Tyler remained on the active roster, but recorded no stats this week

Brian Hill:
The Falcons beat the Vikings 40-23
Stats: 10 carries 28 yards 2 catches 6 yards 1 fumble lost
Hill keeps getting more touches, but the fumble this week isn't going to help his cause

Jacob Hollister:
Seattle was on a bye this week
There are rumblings that Hollister could be a cap casualty in this crowded TE room

Cassh Maluia:
The Patriots lost to the Broncos 12-18
Cassh has been on the active roster all season but has yet to record any stats

Mark Nzeocha:
Nzeocha is on IR until week 9

Mike Purcell:
The Broncos beat the Patriots in Gillette Stadium 18-12
Stats: 1 assisted tackle
Mike doesn't put up huge numbers, but he is the unquestioned anchor of Denver's defensive line

Chase Roullier:
Washington lost to the Giants (ouch) 19-20
Chase is quietly one of the best centers in the NFL


Logan Wilson:
Cincinnatti couldn't beat the Colts, losing 27-31
Stats: 3 solo tackles
Logan continues to get the most snaps of any defensive rookie on the Bengals

Andrew Wingard:
The Jaguars keep on losing, this time against the Lions 16-34
Dewey was placed in IR and will not play again until week 10

Eddie Yarbrough:
Eddie was signed to the Vikings practice squad

Week 7 update:

Josh Allen:
The Bills won their second game of the season against the Jets 18-10
Stats: 30/43 307 yards 11 carries 61 yards 1 fumble lost
Decent numbers through the air this week, but his 4th lost fumble of the year. That's starting to become concerning.

Marcus Epps:
The Eagles are currently the best team in the worst division after beating the Giants 22-21
Stats: 1 assisted tackle
Marcus was limited in his first game back from his rib injury

Rico Gafford:
The Raiders got smoked by the Bucs 20-45
Rico played a few snaps, but recorded no stats

Tashaun Gipson:
The Bears lost their second game of the year, falling to the Rams 10-24
Stats: 1 solo tackle 1 pass defended
The pass defended was a batted ball that could have been picked, but either way the receiver didn't catch it. There are rumors that the Browns are trying to get Tashaun back.

Carl Granderson:
Carl and the Saints beat the Panthers 27-24
Stats: 1 assisted tackle
Another game, another showing from Carl. I have a feeling he's going to have a breakout game this year at some point.

Tyler Hall
The Falcons lost a heartbreaker to the Lions 22-23
Tyler remained on the active roster, but recorded no stats this week

Brian Hill:
The Falcons lost a heartbreaker to the Lions 22-23
Stats: 2 carries 3 yards 3 catches 27 yards
Quiet game for Brian, but may see more snaps after Gurley lost the game for the Falcons by scoring when he was told not to.


Jacob Hollister:
Seattle lost a shootout to the Cardinals 34-37
Stats: 3 catches 22 yards
Biggest game yet for Hollister

Cassh Maluia:
The Patriots got crushed by the 49ers 6-33
Still no stats for Cassh, but he may start seeing some time outside of special teams with Patriots linebackers dropping like flies.

Mark Nzeocha:
Nzeocha is on IR until week 9

Mike Purcell:
Purcell's season is over. He was put on season-ending IR after undergoing foot surgery


Chase Roullier:
Washington beat the hapless Cowboys 25-3


Logan Wilson:
Cincinnatti lost a close one to the Browns 34-37
Stats: 3 solo tackles 2 assisted tackles
Logan's snaps were down for some inexplicable reason this week


Andrew Wingard:
Wingard is on IR and will not play again until week 10

Eddie Yarbrough:
Eddie is on the Vikings practice squad

Sorry for the late update!

Josh did lose the fumble early in the game, but didn't lose it after. He also put up good yards, but a lot of costly penalties and questionable playcalling in the redzone caused them to not get any TDs. And the TE tripping over his own feet when he could have put it in.

Week 8 update:

Josh Allen:
The Bills are officially the team to beat in the AFC East, beating the Patriots 24-21
Stats: 11/18 154 yards 1 INT 10 carries 23 yards 1 TD
Meat grinder of a game for Josh, but the Bills came out on top


Marcus Epps:
The Eagles keep on beating up on their terrible division mates, beating the Cowboys 23-9
Stats: 1 solo tackle
Epps has been really limited in his last few games. It does appear that the Eagles are shopping one of their safties, though.

Vegas took down the Browns 16-6
Rico has yet to record any stats this season

Tashaun Gipson:
The Bears dropped their second straight, losing to the Saints 23-26

Tashaun just continues to be a centerpiece of the Bears defense

Stats: 1 solo tackle
Carl continues to show up despite limited snaps

Tyler Hall
The Falcons beat the Panthers on Thursday night 25-17
Tyler remained on the active roster, but recorded no stats this week

Brian Hill:
The Falcons beat the Panthers on Thursday night 25-17

Hill was Atlanta's most productive back this game


Jacob Hollister:
Seattle beat the 49ers 37-27
Stats: 1 catches 6 yards
Jake continues to fight for touches in a crowded TE room

Cassh Maluia:
The Patriots lost to the Bills 21-24

Mark Nzeocha:
Nzeocha is on IR until week 9

Chase Roullier:
The Football Team was on a bye this week

Logan Wilson:
The Bengals whooped the Titans 31-20
Stats: 1 solo tackle 1 assisted tackle 1 sack
Logan's got to Ryan Tannehill with a very intelligent play

Wingard is on IR and will not play again until week 10

Week 9 update:

Josh Allen:
The AFC East leading Bills beat down the NFC West leading Seahawks 44-34
STATS: 31/38 415 yards 3 TD 7 carries 14 yards 1 TD
MONSTER game for Josh. He got sacked 7 times and still managed his best overall game of the season. The Bills are looking GOOD under him this year.


Marcus Epps:
Epps was placed on the COVID reserve list this week


Rico Gafford:
Rico was cut by the Raiders on Saturday


Tashaun Gipson:
The Bears couldn't hold on against the Titans, losing 17-24
Tashaun got the start but didn't record any stats, a rarity for him

Carl Granderson:
The Saints absolutely destroyed the Buccaneers 38-3
Carl only played 9 snaps in this one. Marcus Davenport's gain is Carl's loss, unfortunately.


Tyler Hall
The Falcons made it past the Broncos 34-27
Stats: 1 assisted tackle
Tyler is making the most out of his special teams snaps

Brian Hill:
The Falcons made it past the Broncos 34-27
Stats: 8 carries 24 yards
Brian's role continues to increase, but the Falcons are the most pass heavy team in the NFL. He did have a SAVAGE still arm against the Broncos.


Jacob Hollister:
Seattle couldn't keep up with the Bills, losing 34-44
Stats: 5 catches 60 yards
Jake got the start and was the most used TE in this one

Cassh Maluia:
The Patriots squeaked out a last second victory over the winless Jets 30-27
Cassh is getting 100% of his reps on special teams and has yet to record any stats

Mark Nzeocha:
Nzeocha remains on IR

Chase Roullier:
Washington lost to the Giants 20-23
Chase allowed his first sack of the season. That's pretty impressive, considering this was week 9.

Logan Wilson:
The Bengals were on a bye this week

Andrew Wingard:
Wingard is on IR and will not play again until at least week 10

Eddie Yarbrough:
Eddie is on the Vikings practice squad

Season ending injuries:

Really tempted to post Jacob Hollister should be traded to the Bills, but not sure Seattle would go for it. The Bills could use a proven TE, and Hollister has experience with Josh...

But that's not likely to happen.

Seattle has a weirdly deep TE group. Seems like they would have wanted to trade one of those guys to get somebody who can cover a receiver. On another note, it's funny to think that the Patriots traded Jacob for basically nothing, and now they have no weapons on offense.

Week 10 update:

Josh Allen:
The Bills lost a nail-biter to the Cardinals 30-32
STATS: 32/49 284 yards 2 TD 2 INT 7 carries 38 yards
Decent game from Josh. He had them in a position to win it. The Cardinals pulled it out on a last second hail mary. On the plus side, Josh CAUGHT his first TD pass!


Marcus Epps:
Epps is on the COVID reserve list

Rico Gafford:
The Raiders signed Rico to the practice squad after cutting him last week.


Tashaun Gipson:
Tashaun and the Bears play the Vikings on Monday night this week

Carl Granderson:
The Saints beat the 49ers 27-13
Carl was on the inactive list this week


Tyler Hall
The Falcons were on a bye this week

Brian Hill:
The Falcons were on a bye this week

Jacob Hollister:
The Seahawks dropped a close one to the Rams 16-23
Stats: 1 catche 6 yards
Hollister is getting more snaps, but he's being used more as a blocker than a pass catcher

Cassh Maluia:
The Patriots shocked the NFL with a 23-17 win over the Ravens
Busy week for Cassh. On Wednesday he was cut, put on the practice squad Thursday, and put back on the active roster on Saturday. Still has yet to record a non-special teams snap, though

Mark Nzeocha:
Nzeocha remains on IR

Chase Roullier:
Washington lost a close one to the Lions 27-30
Nothing to report on Chase, which is good news for a center. According to Pro Football Focus, Chase has played 609 snaps, committed 4 penalties, and allowed 1 sack. That's pretty damned impressive.

Logan Wilson:
The Bengals got throttled by the Steelers 10-36
STATS: 1 solo tackle 2 assisted tackles
Logan has only played in 34% of the defensive snaps this year, but has continued to impress.

Andrew Wingard:
The Jags lost a close one to the Packers 20-24
Wingard came off of IR this week but did not put up any stats

Practice Squad:
Eddie Yarbrough - Vikings
Rico Gafford - Raiders

You mean lost on a Hail Murray. Been a Cardinals fan for more years than a Josh Allen fan, Arizona needed that win more than Buffalo did. Now Josh and the Bills can unliad on everyone elsr, esp Denver hope the Bills mop the floor with the Donkeys, gonna be an interesting playoff season in nfl!

I know I’m biased, but Hollister is being criminally under-utilized as a receiver.

Greg Olsen is out for a few weeks with a foot injury, which bodes will for Jake

Josh Allen:
The Bills still lead the AFC East after beating the Chargers 27-17

Marcus Epps:
The Eagles lost a tough one to the Seahawks 17-23

Solid game by Epps, with more to come after they released Will Parks. Philly fans sure do love to dog Marcus, though.

Tashaun Gipson:
The Bears got smoked by the Packers 25-41

Tashaun is possbily the best player on a bad Bears team

Carl still playing sparingly, but still making noise

Tyler Hall
The Falcons absolutely destroyed the Raiders 43-6

Logan Wilson:

I haven't really watched but it looks like Josh has been a little up and down this season with more up than down but still not consistently up. That is just off the stat lines posted here which obviously don't tell everything. For those that have watched, what is your take?

They ran the ball a lot more this game than previous games. His fumble was on the exchange from the center -- nothing like his previous fumbling issues. Bosa on San Diego just had a fantastic game (3 sacks or something) and Josh didn't have any time to throw, so not many 15-20 yard out patterns had time to develop, which he has been killing people on throughout the year. That and for some reason they had Diggs running five yard curls quite a bit this game, and then curiously he would decide to run south rather than north.
I don't think Josh had a bad game, just had to do different things to win than in others.

His worst games of the season came against Ten and KC after he hurt his shoulder briefly against Vegas. Both crappy weather games. He's had other weird games like against the Jets when he was up near 300 yards with 65% completion but the Bills managed 0 touchdowns and kicked 7 field goals to win. In general he has done much better with his full roster of receivers. John Brown is on IR which is a big loss, he opens up the deep passing game and takes pressure off Diggs. Bills also have a suspect running game and the defense is just starting to figure it out but are still way below last year. All in all you prbably have to say that Josh is the biggest standout on the team and without his improvements they would not be in 1st place in the division.
