When the Buffalo Bills signed quarterback Tyrod Taylor to a six-year extension in August, some questioned if Taylor was actually worth that type of contract.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 11: Tyrod Taylor gets a nice matchup

Well, nine games into the 2016 NFL season, the Bills’ quarterback is having another impressive year. Due to his ability to make plays with both his arm and his legs, Taylor has accounted for more than half of Buffalo’s touchdowns in 2016.
Fantasy Impact: This week, the Bills and their quarterback will be matching up with the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals’ defense is giving up the fifth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2016.
The position group has thrown for eight touchdowns during Cincinnati’s last four games. However, the Bengals also have five interceptions over that same time period.
Yahoo! is projecting Taylor to throw for 205 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and also rush for 38 yards on Sunday. Having scored a touchdown through the air or on the ground in his last eight games, fantasy owners should feel pretty safe if they decide to start Taylor this week.
