DeForest Buckner

The Indianapolis Colts traded a first round pick this past offseason for DeForest Buckner and it is a trade that certainly worked out for them.

Similar to the other players on this list, he is entering this game playing some of his best football. In the past five games, Buckner has seven sacks, 10 QB hits, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He was named as AFC Defensive Player of the Month for his play in December.

The star defensive lineman enters this week with a questionable injury designation after missing the first two practices and being limited on Thursday. It will be interesting how much the ankle injury will bother him but the Bills should be prepared to see him on the field.

The Buffalo Bills have had to face some good defensive tackles this year, like Aaron Donald, so it is going to be important for the interior of this offensive line to block Buckner and not let him collapse the pocket and get to Josh Allen.
