Buffalo's cornerback depth is in flux as Tre'Davious White nears a return from a groin injury. Dorian Strong started last week vs Baltimore, played every snap, and allowed no catches, per Next Gen Stats. With White back in the mix, McDermott stressed a measured ramp, while Strong could remain in the CB2 mix. Benford anchors the other outside spot, and Bills injury notes on Taron Johnson and James Cook add to the depth puzzle ahead of a Jets matchup.

Buffalo’s comeback over Baltimore was sparked by Josh Allen, who finished with 394 passing yards and four total TDs (two passing, two rushing) to rally the Bills from a big deficit. Palmer provided a late-season spark with a 32-yard catch on the game-winning drive, and Buffalo’s young defense showed growth behind Ed Oliver’s disruptive night, while Dorian Strong and Cole Bishop gained valuable experience in their NFL debuts. The win cements Allen’s aura as a fantasy driver and signals upside for Buffalo’s weapons in the weeks ahead.

Lamar Jackson did his part for Baltimore, but Buffalo’s late surge and Allen’s MVP-caliber form reinforced how much trust fantasy managers should place in Allen, Palmer, and the Bills’ surrounding cast. The Ravens offered a stiff test, and the clash underlined Buffalo’s potential ceiling when Allen is at peak in the clutch moments.

Tre'Davious White is nearing a return from a groin injury as Buffalo braces for Week 2 against New York. His comeback is described as a day-to-day process, with the team taking it slow after he practiced this week. Dorian Strong stepped in against Baltimore, logging every defensive snap and not surrendering a reception, highlighting how Buffalo might rotate until White is fully back. Max Hairston remains on IR, leaving depth at cornerback thin and potentially affecting guardrails in the scheme. The Jets loom in Week 2, making White’s health status a real fantasy and DFS topic.

Buffalo’s Week 2 path hinges on health. Taron Johnson and Shaq Thompson will miss practice midweek, testing Buffalo’s slot coverage while Tre'Davious White inches back into action. If Johnson sits, Cam Lewis and Ja'Marcus Ingram will handle the load in the slot; Ingram previously thrived as a Week 2 slot option, snagging two INTs vs Tua Tagovailoa last season. Buffalo signs a veteran interior defender after a rough opener, signaling a shift to stabilize the run and pressure in pass-heavy matchups. Josh Allen remains the primary fantasy engine, while Baltimore’s rushing-and-air attack draws interest from fantasy managers monitoring defensive tweaks. The Week 2 clash will reveal how Buffalo’s secondary and front-seven adjustments land for fantasy standings.

On the other side, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens bring a high-upside offense that can pressure Buffalo’s new interior look. The Dolphins’ side of Week 2 looms as a barometer for Tua Tagovailoa’s supporting cast, highlighted by Ja’Marcus Ingram’s slot intel. White’s practice return could lift Buffalo’s secondary ceiling, while the Bills’ midseason-defensive addition aims to slow Baltimore’s explosive plays. In short: the Bills’ health, slot depth, and interior upgrade shape a pivotal fantasy matchup for Week 2.
