8. Alex Collins vs. the Bills

Alex Collins is another guy who had a wonderful year in 2017. With a Ravens bunch that doesn’t want to fall behind in the AFC North, Collins could once again find himself in the end zone a ton in 2018.

Flash back to last season, when he finished just shy of the 1,000-yard mark, Collins found footing in a Ravens offense also in limbo. The Steelers are the Steelers and these aren’t your father’s Browns. Andy Dalton is the savior in Buffalo but is he in Cincy? Is Joe Flacco elite? Well, yes. Are the Ravens back? Well, no.

It’s a great matchup all around for the Ravens against Buffalo. The defense should feast; could Collins too?

The Bills gave up 125-plus yards seven times in 2017. That included a smack down at the hands of New Orleans, with a combined 294 yards and five touchdowns. With talented wideouts aplenty and a lot of speed, holes could open up for Collins at the right time on Sunday. He’s an easy play.
