The Bills go to Atlanta for a primetime tune up before a critical bye week, aiming to bounce back from their first loss. Buffalo plans to lean on Josh Allen by letting him move and create plays with his legs, especially against a Falcons defense that has shown vulnerability to mobile quarterbacks.

The team expects Ty Johnson to earn more third down snaps as James Cook struggles lately, with Johnson's improved pass protection a must against aggressive rookie edge rushers. With Matt Milano sidelined, Ed Oliver's return could spark a more vocal, cohesive front as Buffalo eyes Bijan Robinson and a potent Falcons offense. London demands attention, Mooney out shifts coverage, and Benford must clamp down on London while the secondary tracks Michael Penix Jr. targets.

Buffalo must keep Diggs involved and disciplined in coverage to avoid a repeat of prior miscommunications on the back end. A win would preserve the AFC East lead and set the stage for a strong run through the late season, starting with a focus on discipline, scheme, and explosive playmaking from Allen.

Buffalo visits Atlanta on MNF with Allen and the Bills aiming to rebound after a home loss. Allen’s rushing upside keeps him a top play, and fading him is a bold risk against a Falcons defense that has dialed up pressure. Bijan Robinson anchors Atlanta’s backfield as the centerpiece, while Tyler Allgeier adds steady value and London remains the clear target monster for the Falcons.

London’s high target floor pairs with Pitts in a flexible Atlanta attack, while Buffalo’s depth at receiver—Shakir, Palmer—gives cheap, high-ceiling options. Kicking and DSTs offer contrarian leverage, with Prater and Romo presenting volatility versus the Bills’ talent-laden unit. Penix’s status adds a wild card to Atlanta’s passing game.

Brandon Codrington has been a healthy inactive for Buffalo, with Curtis Samuel and Khalil Shakir as starting returners and Ty Johnson as the backup. Codrington still leads Bills return yards, but his lack of versatility risks his roster spot as Buffalo tests other options. Samuel, Johnson, and Shakir have shouldered return duty, while Buffalo braces for Week 6 roster moves that could push two players off the 53-man roster.

Samuel (27.7 yds per kickoff over two weeks) and Johnson (21.7 yds) have stepped up, with Shakir posting the lone punt return in recent weeks. Michael Hoecht and Larry Ogunjobi return from suspensions after Week 6, signaling more churn on a roster that could see Codrington released. Fantasy players should watch return-by-committee trends and how Buffalo values high-yielding, versatile options.

Milano's return shores up Buffalo's defense for the Week 5 primetime clash with New England, but interior depth is thin with Ed Oliver and TJ Sanders out and Dorian Williams inactive. Landon Jackson will debut, while Zion Logue and Phidarian Mathis join the DT rotation. Curtis Samuel earns a jersey as Elijah Moore remains inactive, and Samuel/Khalil Shakir provide return opportunities with Johnson handling kicks. Jimmy Ciarlo is active after a late roster move.

Fantasy angles center on how Logue/Mathis anchor the interior and whether Jackson can spark the edge rush, plus how Samuel, Johnson, and Shakir contribute in return duties and short-yardage packages against New England.
