Buffalo Bills @ New York Jets

Ray Davis lights up without James Cook: While Cook was out injured, Davis was Buffalo's primary weapon in the running and passing games.

Cook did not practice on Thursday and Friday and was limited on Saturday due to a toe injury. He was listed as questionable but ultimately did not play. veteran Ty Johnson started, but after the first two plays it was clear that Davis was taking over Cook's usual role while Johnson remained the third defender.

Davis ran the ball 20 times for 97 yards and caught three passes for 55 yards, with most of his receiving yards coming from a 42-yard reception. He almost scored twice on the same drive when he ran to the one-yard line followed by Josh Allen sneaks.

Davis is worth a waiver claim simply because Cook could miss another game. There's also a chance Davis could play a larger role once Cook is healthy. Cook will likely finish the season with a higher PFF rushing grade because he was more consistent, while Davis was a little more boom-or-bust, with a few booms this week. Davis probably won't take the lead on this play alone, but he could get more playing time and cut into Cook's time.

Khalil Shakir calmly on his return: Shakir missed last week with an ankle injury and was only a rotation player this week.

Through the first four weeks, Shakir played 79% of snaps in 11 personnel groups, while rarely playing in other personnel groups. After missing last week, he played in less than half of the 11 snaps Curtis Samuel I take more snapshots in this grouping than usual.

Shakir missed practice on Thursday and Friday and was limited on Saturday before being officially listed as questionable, as was the running back James Cook. The Bills play again in six days, so it will be worth seeing how much Shakir practices this week before entrusting him to fantasy starting lineups in Week 7.

Tyler Conklin limited for the jets: Conklin was limited all week with a hip injury and was questionable for this game.

There was some concern that he wouldn't be able to play after the Jets upgraded the veteran tight end Anthony Firkser from the training squad. Conklin started but didn't see quite as much playing time as usual.

Through the first five weeks of the season, there were only six games out of 11 staffers where Conklin was not on the field. Jeremy Ruckert In the first half of this game alone, he played seven plays out of eleven personnel. He played 90% of the 12-man snaps in the first four weeks. Last week that number dropped to 53%, which appears to have been intentional rather than related to his injury. That rotation continued this week, although Firkser joined Ruckert more on the 12th team Brenden Bates.

We can expect Conklin's 11th roster appearances to return once he's fully healthy, but it wouldn't be surprising if he remains in the 12th roster rotation. Conklin has two games of 55 or more yards and four games of 17 or fewer yards and he hasn't found the end zone yet. He's a good tight end to consider in fantasy if the starter has a bye week, but he shouldn't be viewed as a reliable option.

Various notes

• Buffalo continued its usual tight end rotation, with Dalton Kincaid And Dawson Knox see significant playing time. Kincaid played more in passing situations and Knox played more in rushing situations. Kincaid ran a route on more than 80% of the Bills' pass plays for the first time this season.
• Bills undrafted rookie running back Frank Gore Jr. was called up from the practice squad for this game as the team's third running back, but did not play a snap on offense.
• The Jets haven't rotated their running backs as much as they have in the past two weeks. This was partly because New York didn't win very often and the offense tended to rotate. Despite this fact, Hall played a little more than in recent weeks.
• The Jets took their rookie wide receiver in the third round for the second straight year Malachi Corley was a healthy inactive person.
• Mike Williams was replaced Xavier Gipson for most of the final two drives of the first half. It is unclear whether he was struggling with an injury or whether it was related to something else, but outside of these two appearances he had his usual role in the 11th and 21st teams.

Table notes

• Snaps include plays that are called back due to penalties, including offensive holding or defensive pass interference. These plays have been removed from the other three statistics.
