Bottom 5 Passing Matchups

Miami at Buffalo

The Dolphins finally saw signs of life from their passing game Sunday, posting perhaps their best half of the season in nearly edging past the Falcons. Still, this remains one of football’s most low-risk, low-reward attacks, one that seeks out short, safe throws almost exclusively. Tua Tagovailoa has thrown deep (15+ yards downfield) on just 13% of his attempts, and his 10.2 yards per completion sits 28th among starters. In other words, he’s making less happen with the ball than the likes of Davis Mills, Taylor Heinicke, or Teddy Bridgewater. That refusal to go downfield is devastating to the fantasy values of his receivers, making target-hog rookie Jaylen Waddle (a 26% share with Tagovailoa) into just a middling play. Waddle has averaged 6 receptions a game, but last week’s 83 yards marked his season-high. With DeVante Parker and Will Fuller V a mess of injuries, Waddle and tight end Mike Gesicki are the only viable week-to-week plays here. For his part, Gesicki has posted 24 catches for 300 yards and 2 touchdowns over the past 4 weeks. He’s the truest beneficiary of this dink-and-dunk attack.

 

The Bills pass defense continues to dominate the league from a metric standpoint. They sit in first place almost across the board, leading the way in adjusted yardage, air yardage, and interception rate. Unsurprisingly, no one has allowed fewer yards or touch downs per game, and this looms with a flashing “avoid” light until further notice. Only one opponent has cleared 220 yards thus far, and that was Patrick Mahomes II, throwing 54 times in desperation mode while trying to erase a deficit. The Bills’ pass rushers have consistently hit home, hurrying passers as the league’s third-best rate while rarely having to blitz. Veterans Mario Addison and Jerry Hughes lead the way, but it’s a diverse pass-rush crew that pushes the pocket both inside and out. That gives ample slack on the back end to Tre’Davious White, rising star Taron Johnson, and arguably the game’s best safety tandem in Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer. White is actually in the midst of his shakiest season as a pro, but he has so much support it has yet to matter. The Bills haven’t allowed a 100-yard receiver yet, and it’s unlikely the middling Dolphins have a candidate to threaten that.

I WAS AT THAT GAME!!! 
The Bills had the fattest person I ever saw playing on the OLine. I swear he was wider than he was tall. 
 

I lived close by to Aquinas and went with a buddy. Don’t remember Jack doodle about it other than the fat guy. 
 

Aquinas back in the day played some Jucos from around the northeast. The school turned the stadium over to the city and they tore it down. More’s the pity. They had renamed it Holinder stadium after an Aquinas (and West Point) graduate who won the MOH (posthumously) for his heroics in Viet Nam.
