Miller posted two tackles, including a sack, in Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins. That's sacks in two straight games for Miller, who didn't have a single one over 12 regular-season games in 2023. He looks to have finally fought back to a semblance of his normal self following significant knee injuries. At 35 years of age, Miller won't be an elite IDP option, especially while he's playing 50 percent or less of the defensive snaps, but if sacks come at a premium in your IDP format we could see him getting 8-10 before campaign's end. The strength of the Buffalo defense lies in its line, and it's likely the team keeps trying to pressure the opponent as it works its way through significant injuries to the other defensive units.

Miller posted two tackles, including a sack, in Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins. That's sacks in two straight games for Miller, who didn't have a single one over 12 regular-season games in 2023. He looks to have finally fought back to a semblance of his normal self following significant knee injuries. At 35 years of age, Miller won't be an elite IDP option, especially while he's playing 50 percent or less of the defensive snaps, but if sacks come at a premium in your IDP format we could see him getting 8-10 before campaign's end. The strength of the Buffalo defense lies in its line, and it's likely the team keeps trying to pressure the opponent as it works its way through significant injuries to the other defensive units.
Ingram tallied two interceptions, one of which he returned for 31-yard touchdown, in the Bills' 31-10 win over the Dolphins on Thursday. Ingram played just 23 snaps on defense, but he was responsible for two of the Bills' three interceptions on the night. He picked off Tua Tagovailoa early in the first quarter, which led to a 17-yard touchdown reception from Josh Allen to James Cook six plays later. Ingram was on the receiving end of a failed throw-away attempt from Tagovailoa on the Dolphins' first drive of the third quarter, which the former returned for a 31-yard pick-six that extended the Bills' lead to 21 points. Ingram is the backup corner behind Rasul Douglas and Christian Benford, but Ingram could see additional playing time moving forward after his impressive performance in Buffalo's Week 2 win.
Head coach Sean McDermott said Johnson's (forearm) injury is "still new," but the hope is that he'll be back in a timeline that avoids an injured-reserve list appearance, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports. Johnson's true return date is unknown, but this news does mean he'll likely be back within the next four weeks. The veteran cornerback's inactive status should continue to give more playing time to Cam Lewis in the slot corner spot, as it has in the first two weeks of play.
Benford racked up seven tackles (six solo), one pass defensed and one interception during Thursday's 31-10 win over the Bills. Benford is flying under the radar as one of the best zone-coverage cornerbacks in the league, and his pairing with Rasul Douglas allowed the Bills to limit Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to 65 combined receiving yards Thursday. The 2022 sixth-round pick's tackle totals won't always be so high, but he'll have another favorable matchup on deck Week 3 versus Jacksonville.
Williams notched 10 tackles (five solo) during Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins. Williams played 52 defensive snaps Thursday after handing 51 snaps in Week 1. He remains locked into a starting role on defense with Matt Milano (biceps) sidelined until late in the 2024 campaign, at least. Buffalo's linebacker corps also lost Terrel Bernard (pectoral) for potentially one month Thursday, leaving Baylon Spector to step into his starting gig. Williams' next chance to make an impact will come Week 3 versus the Jaguars.
Spector recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) during Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins. Spector played 81 percent of defensive snaps Week 2 with Terrel Bernard (pectoral) exiting the game early. Bernard is reportedly a candidate to miss roughly one month due to a pec strain, and in deeper IDP formats Spector will vault onto the fantasy radar for the duration of his recovery. Spector will look to make an impact again versus Jacksonville in Week 3 on Monday Night Football.
Hamlin tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) during Thursday's 31-10 win over Miami. Hamlin played 92 percent of Buffalo's defensive snaps during Thursday's divisional win after handling 100 percent of snaps Week 1. The 26-year-old is solidified as an every-down starter in Buffalo's secondary, though his tackle totals won't always be boosted by such a run-heavy offense as the Dolphins fielded to close out Thursday's game. Hamlin will be on the fantasy radar in deeper IDP formats heading into a Week 3 matchup against Jacksonville.
Bass converted one of two field-goal attempts during Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins. He also made all four of his extra-point tries. Bass missed a field-goal try wide left from 45 yards out in the fourth quarter, but his number of extra-point attempts bolstered his production for a second straight week. As long as Josh Allen and the Bills offense can keep up its momentum, Bass will benefit from plentiful scoring opportunities again Week 3 against the Jaguars on Monday Night Football.
