3 Buffalo Bills players to watch

  • CB Rasul Douglas – The newly acquired CB should immediately add a boost to a depleted cornerback room. While he has barely touched down in Buffalo, look for the team to get him involved early and often as the team looks to shut down a red-hot Joe Burrow.
  • WR Khalil Shakir – Shakir exploded onto the scene last game, having a career-best in terms of yards and receptions. Josh Allen was able to use him as a reliable target. Let's see if it was a one-week fluke, or if the team has found something special for the young receiver.
  • DT Linval Joseph – Another new addition to the team. While it's uncertain what kind of snap count he'll be on, or if he sees any meaningful minutes, Buffalo desperately needs help in the middle of the trenches with DaQuan Jones being lost for the season. Will the mid-season addition prove to be fruitful in stopping the defense from getting gashed on the run? Only time will tell.
