Ed Oliver sparked Buffalo’s comeback with a career-highlight day that reinforced his value in IDP and hinted at a career peak. He opened with a 15-yard sack of Lamar Jackson on 3rd and 8, then added a second-quarter stop on 3rd and 25, a third-quarter backfield takedown of Derrick Henry, and a pivotal fourth-quarter strip on Henry that Terrel Bernard recovered. Six tackles, three tackles for loss, four run stops, and a 95.1 run-defense grade underscored his all‑around impact. The performance, paired with Oliver’s hefty $17M AAV, could push his trajectory upward into 2025, making him a must-watch in interior DLs and Bills DST discussions.

Bills fans finally saw the defense reset with Oliver driving disruptive plays as the offense found its footing late. Bernard’s fumble-recovery moment capped the sequence, turning momentum Buffalo’s way. For fantasy managers, this confirms Oliver’s ceiling as a stabilizing IDP force; expect even more interior pressure against mobileQBs and teams with heavy rushing scripts.

Buffalo erased a 15-point, late-fourth-quarter hole to stun Baltimore 41-40, led by Josh Allen’s 394 passing yards and a clutch late drive that ended with Matt Prater’s 32-yard game-winner as time expired.

Derrick Henry piled up 169 rushing yards and two TDs before a crunch-time fumble swung momentum Buffalo’s way, while Ed Oliver forced the key takeaway and Dawson Knox got a deflection-fueled sequence that set up the late drama. A genuine fantasy-imperative shootout with stars across both sides.

Buffalo erased a 15-point fourth-quarter hole to beat Baltimore 41-40 in Week 1, led by Josh Allen’s late MVP-level surge and a breakout by Keon Coleman. Ed Oliver sparked the defense with a strip that flipped momentum and helped set up Buffalo’s dramatic finish. The offense piled up 497 yards as the passing game finally opened with big plays downfield, while the Bills’ secondary remains a lingering concern heading into Week 2.

Allen finished 33 of 46 for 394 yards with two passing touchdowns and two rushing scores, Coleman hauled in eight catches for 112 yards and a TD, and Oliver delivered a game-changing performance with five-plus impactful stops, a sack, and the forced fumble. With KC’s opener losses, Buffalo starts the season bold and dangerous, pending defensive consistency against high-caliber offenses.

Henry rushed for 169 yards with 2 TDs and added 13 receiving yards, powering Baltimore to a 40-25 edge before Buffalo rallied for a 41-40 win on a late fumble that Henry forced but Ed Oliver knocked loose. Keon Coleman contributed a late score for Buffalo as the Bills seized momentum in a stunning finish.

Fantasy takeaway: Henry remains a true workhorse with TD potential, but the costly miscues and Bills’ resilience inject volatility into late-game outcomes. Monitor Henry’s ball security and the Ravens’ ability to close out games against tough defenses going forward.
