Fantasy Football Player Notes

Despite rumors of a three-headed committee monster last week, Knight was the clear leader of this backfield. He played 55% of the snaps with 20 touches and turned into 118 total yards. Knight also received all of the red zone work. He's been a tackle-breaking machine from the word go. Knight is ranked eighth in yards after contact per attempt, ninth in breakaway rate, and first in PFF's elusive rating (minimum 25 carries). Knight is an RB2 against an average Bills run defense. Since Week 10, they are 17th in rushing success rate, 17th in explosive run rate, and 13th in yards per carry allowed.

Johnson ate into Knight's pass-game routes, surpassing him by one route. Johnson handled a 12.7% target share. His value resides in the passing game, as he didn't get any chances near the goal line and only one carry. Johnson is a low-end PPR flex that's 54th in PFF receiving grade and 41st in yards per route run (minimum ten targets). The Bills have been stingy with running backs in the passing game. Buffalo is 17th in DVOA, ranking eighth in yards per reception and 12th in receiving yards per game allowed.

Robinson is droppable. He played 11% of the snaps with four carries and zero pass game role. He's clearly the last back up in this rotation.
