Stefon Diggs vs. Malcolm Butler

One of the big weaknesses for the Titans last season was their pass defense and that trend has carried over to this year as they are allowing 256.3 passing yards per game. This is a great opportunity for Josh Allen to continue his fast start but this week in particular he will need a big performance from his top receiver.

The Bills, and Allen, have done a good job moving the ball around and getting all the receivers involved. Even though Diggs was leading the league in receiving yards after Week 4, he was only receiving about 25% of the targets in this offense.

This should be a week that the percentage is much higher due in part to John Brown who is nursing a knee injury and is questionable this week. This is a big game for the Buffalo Bills and one of the reasons they got Stefon Diggs was for these types of games.
