Thursday Night Football Dolphins vs. Bills: Fantasy football breakdown

You can watch Thursday Night Football: Bills vs. Dolphins at 8:20 p.m. ET/5:20 p.m. PT on NBC or stream on Peacock, Fubo, DirecTV and NFL+

“Thursday Night Football” started off on a hot note this season (and if you’ve watched any TNF over the years, that a big deal), and the good times will keep on rolling as the Buffalo Bills travel to Florida to take on the division-rival Miami Dolphins. Both teams are 1-0 on the young season.

Let’s go to the tale of the (fantasy) tape.

Josh Allen reminded everyone as to why he was the No. 1-ranked QB during fantasy draft season in Week 1. The dual-threat QB totaled four touchdowns against the Cardinals, two on the ground and two through the air, highlighted by a magnificent example of hero ball.

Nonetheless, I remain optimistic about Kincaid; his snap share in Week 1 was elite, so fantasy managers shouldn’t be worried about his one-catch start to the 2024 season just yet. Yet, you have to at least ponder the ceilings of Bills’ pass catchers. This is an extremely run-heavy offense that lives and dies by the heroics of Josh Allen. Perhaps we just won’t get a…
