These are four players on the Buffalo Bills to watch in Week 4 who could be key to a victory

The Buffalo Bills are entering a game where they should win when they face the Houston Texans on Sunday. When looking at the matchups on paper, they have the advantage in most of them and have the more talented roster from top to bottom.

However, they have to avoid having that mindset as the Texans are certainly capable of winning this game if things bounce their way or the Bills aren’t as sharp as they have been the past two weeks.

When looking at this matchup, there are four players that fans should pay close attention to, including two players who are going to probably get their first start of the season.

One of those players who are likely to get their first start of the season is Ike Boettger as he is probably the replacement for Jon Feliciano. The Buffalo Bills starting left guard is out this week with a concussion and while Sean McDermott didn’t commit to anyone on Friday, according to Heather Prusak, it would be surprising if Boettger wasn’t the replacement.

Boettger was the player who replaced Cody Ford last season after the guard suffered a season-ending knee injury.

The offensive line has rebounded nicely after a disappointing Week 1 performance and Boettger will hopefully be able to help continue this strong play from the past two games.
