Buffalo Bills

Dorian Williams

LB

Despite a relatively poor showing from a struggling Bills defense, Williams picked off Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins in the third quarter of Sunday's contest. The linebacker's stolen possession, the first interception of his NFL career, led to the Bills extending the lead from 16-13 to 23-13 with 6:22 remaining in the third quarter.

Davison Igbinosun

CB

Igbinosun, a second-round rookie out of Ohio State, has seen 64 or more percent of the defensive snaps in each of the past three games as he continues to make his mark at the NFL level. That's more than teammate Maxwell Hairston in each of the past two, so IGB may be working his way into a starter's role opposite star corner Christian Benford. Igbinosun had seven total tackles in Week 6, and he had three passes defensed in the Week 7 win over the Raiders.

Sam Franklin Jr.

S

The suspension stems from Franklin allegedly spitting at an opponent late in the fourth quarter during a successful extra-point attempt by the Raiders. The veteran defensive back has denied the allegation by the league and will appeal the ruling, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Franklin has played solely on special teams this season, but with C.J. Gardner-Johnson also handed a one-game suspension, the Bills' secondary could be thin for their Week 8 game against the Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Dawson Knox

TE

He again played about as many snaps at tight end Sunday (47) as did starter Dalton Kincaid (49), but Knox continued to function mostly as a blocker. He has yet to draw more than three targets in a game this season, and he'll probably remain on the periphery of the passing offense as long as Kincaid is still available.
