Tyrod Taylor-QB-Buffalo Bills

Taylor was on the edges of being a QB1 last season and many thought he could be a rotation candidate if you missed out on elite options for this year.  He may still work into that spot, but he got off to a rough start to the season in his return to Baltimore.

Taylor was drafted by the Ravens, but he and the Bills could get nothing going against the Baltimore D this week.  With Sammy Watkins at less than 100%, the Bills offense lacked playmakers, and the only offensive touchdown wen to LeSean McCoy on the ground.

Taylor finished just 15-of-22 passing for 111 yards and ran for just 11 more yards. While the Baltimore offense didn’t exactly go off against a much-improved Buffalo defense, it looks like the Bills could struggle offensively coming out of the gates.

Fortunately, Taylor won’t have long to ruminate on his spot in our fantasy football busts this week since he and the Bills have a short week. They’ll face the Jets on Thursday Night Football in Week 2 in an AFC East battle.
