3. John Brown, WR, Arizona Cardinals

With the Bills taking away Fitzgerald, I’d expect a big night from #12. The Bills will do everything they can to not just limit, but stop Fitzgerald and keep him under 50 yards receiving. Fitz already has 13 receptions for 158 yards and three touchdowns. Buffalo can’t scheme for everybody but you can bet they have prepared diligently for Fitzgerald this entire week.

Since the Bills won’t let Fitzgerald run crazy, other playmakers will have to step up. Brown has been quiet early on, recording just two receptions for 22 yards. Expect bigger things from Brown in Week 3. Last week, the Jets #3 receiver Quincy Enunwa had a big game against these very Bills, catching six of seven passes thrown his way for 92 yards.

The Bills slot corner is Nickell Robey who in his own right is a very talented player. Robey had five tackles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown last week. In coverage, he did an okay job but it wasn’t his best game. This matchup against Brown should be a good one, and will have strong fantasy implications.
