Bills Today | NFL Network believes this Bills player will be a fantasy sleeper on Sunday
‘”I like him, Adams stated. “Ramsey is going to hang out with Diggs all day, making things tough on him, so a big-time opportunity for [Brown] to break out. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see 80 or more yards and another touchdown this week for John Brown taking on the Rams. This game should be high-scoring, and if Stefon Diggs is busy, John Brown should get busy.”‘

‘“Appreciate how you shaped that question. I’m not going there, but good try,” McDermott said. “Aaron Donald is his own player. Ed is his own player. Let’s keep it like it is. Like I said to you before, I’ve got a lot of respect for Aaron, and you know I’ve got a lot of respect for Ed on our team. He’s off to a good start. He’s a young player that’s going to continue to grow and get better and that’s what my focus is and that’s what his focus needs to be and we’ll just keep those separate for now.”’
X’s and O’s: Bills defensive front on spot vs. creative Rams
‘One prerequisite for the Buffalo Bills in Sunday’s game against the Rams will be discipline by the defensive backs in sticking to their assignments. But they’re going to need help.

View from Vegas: Rams face back-to-back East Coast challenge
‘When they take the field on Sunday, they will do so knowing they are 9-0 against the spread as nonconference road underdogs of seven or less points. On the other side of the coin, the Bills are 4-16 straight up and 5-14-1 against the spread when coming off consecutive wins.’
Jalen Ramsey called Josh Allen ‘trash’ in 2018. Now they face each other Sunday.
‘“The toughest part, in my opinion, I think he does a good job of reading the quarterback’s drop,” said Allen. “His eyes are really in the backfield, and he’s able to tell if a quarterback’s speeding up his drop and trying to get it out quick, ready to jump a route. He’s a very aggressive corner, plays man, zone, very good at route recognition. It’s gonna be tough to win some matchups versus him, but at the same time it’s not time to shy away from anybody or anything.”’
