 John Brown vs. Bradley Roby 

The Bills will be looking for another big from John Brown, who has had a breakout season in Buffalo. The former Raven and Cardinal has 72 catches, 1,060 yards, an average of 14.7 yards per catch and six touchdowns. Brown has been used as both a deep threat, and an intermediate target so he can use his speed after the catch. He has been quarterback Josh Allen’s favorite target this season which has created some explosive moments for a struggling Buffalo offense. 

Bradley Roby, like his fellow starting cornerback, Johnathan Joseph is listed as questionable for the game on Saturday. Roby, has had a consistent season, he has two interceptions, and broken up eight passes. The Texan has struggled against speedy receivers in his career which plays into the strengths of John Brown.
