Fallers

LeSean McCoy

While the offensive line took a lot of heat for LeSean McCoy’s effectiveness in Week 2, there comes the point when the star running back just rises to the occasion.

Buffalo Bills

McCoy was fantastic in the passing game again but has struggled in the running game in back-to-back weeks. He averaged just 1.5 yards per carry and 1.86 yards after contact per carry.

With a matchup against the Atlanta Falcons this week, McCoy will have a chance to bounce back.

Jerry Hughes

Facing a banged-up Garett Bolles, Jerry Hughes had an easier road to success in Week 3.

However, aside from three tackles and a QB hit, he was mostly nonexistent. In fact, Bolles received the Broncos’ best grade from PFF this past weekend.

Hughes will see another top-of-the-line left tackle this weekend in Jake Matthews.

The Bills will need a better effort from Hughes if they want to slow that high-powered Atlanta offense down.
