Best of the Week
Eric Karabell: Jakobi Meyers returned from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury and caught one of two touchdown passes thrown by Gardner Minshew. With Davante Adams no longer around, there are WR2 possibilities moving forward here.
Liz Loza: Chase Brown has outsnapped and outcarried Zack Moss by a wide margin since Week 5, logging a snap share of 56% (to Moss' 49%) and registering 37 totes (to Moss' 17) over the team's three most recent outings. Eight starting backs have posted 13 or more fantasy points when facing the Raiders, with each primary ball carrier either hauling in a minimum of five passes or finding the end zone.
Matt Bowen: The Raiders have surrendered 25 sacks (third most in the league), and Minshew has turned the ball over at least once in six of his seven games played. This is a spot where the Bengals D/ST can produce points for your lineup.
Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills -6
Locks: Sunday 1 p.m. ET
Over/under total: 48.5 (second highest)
FPI favorite: Bills by 9.2, 73.5% to win outright
