These are the three players on the Buffalo Bills who saw their stock rise after Week 15.

The Buffalo Bills in the weeks leading up to their game with the Denver Broncos were seeing the pieces come together. Their offense was returning to what it was at the start of the season, while the defense recently started to play like they did last year.

While the Broncos have a record below .500, their performance can’t be dismissed because of how the Bills were in control almost the entire game. They once again got big performances from their stars like Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, and Tre’Davious White.

However, some players have been improving in recent weeks and had some of their best games of the season against the Broncos. These are the three players on the Buffalo Bills who are trending up coming up out of Week 15.

Ed Oliver

Defensive tackle Ed Oliver entered this season with high expectations entering his second season in the league after being a Top 10 pick by the Bills. The season started slow for Oliver but over the past few weeks, he has started to become more of a disruptive force in the middle of this line and putting pressure against opposing quarterbacks.

In the game against the Broncos, he finished with three total tackles and one sack, his third of the season, as well as a nice pass breakup early in the game.

As mentioned previously, the pressures have begun to increase for Oliver. In the first 10 games of the season, Oliver had nine pressures but in the last four, the former first round pick has seven. If Oliver continues to get this pressure, and even adding more sacks, it will only be a boost for a defense already playing well.
