Jets fell 30-10 to the Bills as the offense never found rhythm, Justin Fields left with a concussion, and Garrett Wilson struggled to get going. The Jets’ new regime faces a tough early test against a Buffalo squad that dictated terms in all three phases.

Buffalo dominated the line, with James Cook ripping off chunks and the defense stifling the Jets’ attempts. Aaron Glenn took responsibility, signaling the need for quick tweaks. For fantasy managers, Fields’ health, Wilson’s volume, and Cook’s workload are the levers to watch as New York regroup in a tough stretch.

Fantasy takeaway: monitor Fields’ status, Wilson’s target share, and Cook’s carry count. If Fields misses time, Tyrod Taylor could alter the QB landscape and overall Jets upside in the near term.

Week 2 brought a brutal reality check for defenses, with six units slipping into the red and two big-name anchors—Denver and Chicago—stuck on the wrong side of the scoreboard. The Broncos allowed a prolific Colts attack to march, while the Bears could not muster anything on either side of the ball. Fantasy managers watched extra points, kicks, and turnover-free drives erase day-long projections.

Key fallout centered on receivers who cooled after Week 1 fire, and running backs whose ground games vanished against stout defenses. Fields exited with a concussion scare, Sutton saw limited downfield looks, and several pivots emerged on the bench as Week 3 approaches. The takeaway: streaming defenses and shoring up high-variance lineups are back in play.

Buffalo’s defense answered Week 1 doubts with a stifling showing against the Jets, holding New York to 154 total yards and 10 points. Breece Hall was bottled to 29 yards on 10 carries, while Justin Fields added just 27 rushing yards on a key scramble. The Jets’ passing game also stagnated, with Garrett Wilson limited to 50 receiving yards on four grabs.

Rookie reinforcements carried the load on Buffalo’s line: Deone Walker, TJ Sanders, Zion Logue, and DaQuan Jones stepped up with solid snaps as Ed Oliver and Taron Johnson were sidelined. Joey Bosa wrecked the pocket with two forced fumbles, a sack, six pressures, and two hits, helping Buffalo post four sacks and 23 pressures overall. Buffalo hosts Miami next, aiming to keep building defensive cohesion.

In a Week 2 reversion to form, Buffalo proved it can adapt quickly, leveraging front-seven depth and a relentless rush to stabilize after Week 1 turmoil. The matchup against the Dolphins will test whether this developing unit can sustain pressure on a high-caliber offense on a short week.
