4 Buffalo Bills who should have expanded roles in Week 5 against Steelers

The Buffalo Bills are set to play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Highmark Stadium and unfortunately once again are going to be missing a number of starters. There is some hope that players like Ed Oliver and Jordan Phillips can return after missing a few games as both are questionable for Week 5.

However, the news isn’t as good for other players like Jordan Poyer and Dawson Knox, who have already been ruled out for this weekend’s game.

When looking at the players who already have been ruled out, or seem likely to miss this game, these are the Buffalo Bills who should have an expanded role against the Pittsburgh Steelers in their place.

4 Buffalo Bills who should have expanded roles in Week 5 against the Steelers

Quintin Morris

The Buffalo Bills are going to be without their starting tight end this week as Dawson Knox is dealing with hamstring and foot injuries. The team will now look to Quintin Morris, who was a surprise addition to the 53-man roster after beating out O.J. Howard for the backup spot during training camp and preseason.

Morris is not the blocker that Knox is, and this could open up some snaps for Tommy Sweeney, but he is a threat in the passing game. He has only three receptions on the season for 29 yards but has been on the field a good amount recently. Morris has played 25% of the snaps each of the past three games and this week he looks to be in line for his first career start and should well surpass that snap percentage.
