Josh Allen will sport a clear visor in Week 3 to shield his nose after a Week 2 cut that left him bleeding on the field. He returned to finish the game, and the Bills expect him to play TNF with the visor in place, claiming no vision issues and only minor bruising. The move caps a short-term risk for facial injuries, while fantasy managers eye how the setup could influence Bills’ passing tempo and Allen’s involvement in a potential shootout with the Dolphins.

In Week 2, Mitchell Trubisky filled in briefly as Allen dealt with the nose bleed, but Allen remained the starter. The upcoming Dolphins game is the backdrop for extra protection and a confidence boost for Bills players, with Allen joking about becoming the “3rd Bosa brother” as he updates his gear and readiness for Thursday night action.

Mike White’s NFL arc blends a historic debut with a jagged, uneven career trajectory. In 2021 he threw for 405 yards and 3 TDs in his first start, sparking a Jets upset of the Bengals during Cincinnati’s run to a Super Bowl, a moment that still looms for fantasy managers as a reminder of his ceiling. Since then, he’s been a flashpoint in depth charts—four 2022 starts, a 2023 Dolphins cameo, and a 2024 Bills appearance—without securing a long-term gig.

His résumé reads like a classic doppleganger tale: fifth-round pick by Dallas in 2018, college standout at South Florida and Western Kentucky with 4,177 passing yards as a senior, and a career line that boasts 2,247 yards, 9 TDs, 13 INTs across 15 games. A volatile but real arm talent, White remains a boom-or-bust option whose fantasy value hinges on opportunity and coaching clarity.

TreVeyon Henderson’s Week 3 outlook remains cautious. Through two games, his snap count has fluctuated (23 then 16) as Stevenson handles the bulk of early-down work, while Henderson contributes as a growing pass catcher. His rushing workload is capped for now, making him a risky RB3/Flex in PPR leagues and a bench option in standard 12-team formats. The Week 3 test against Pittsburgh’s run defense adds risk, though Henderson could carve out meaningful targets if his role continues to expand.

In deeper leagues with multiple flex spots, Henderson remains intriguing, but patience is key. The Patriots have shown a willingness to mix in Henderson when the game script allows, yet Stevenson’s consistency keeps Henderson’s upside muted this week. Expect Henderson to hover on the fringe of fantasy relevance until his role stabilizes and he proves he can convert rushing opportunities alongside his receiving usage.

Bills host Dolphins on a short week in a battle that tests Miami's run game versus Buffalo's dynamic offense and relentless pass rush. Achane anchors Miami's backfield, with Gordon II and Wright looming as change-of-pace options; Buffalo counters with Cook and Josh Allen, whose legs keep defenses honest. Miami must protect a thin right side of the line to slow Bills pressure while Bills' defense eyes containment on Tagovailoa and receivers Hill and Waddle.

Fantasy angles tilt toward Bills’ offense upside and a potential Miami lean on quick-hitting passes if Buffalo brings pressure. Hill and Kincaid look like steady high-floor plays, while Cook’s volume and Allen’s rushing TD upside offer scoreboard-friendly floors. Final: Bills 33, Dolphins 20.
