The Bills aren't required to submit an injury report until Wednesday, but Taylor's status for Sunday bodes well after returning to even an informal session so early in the week. Taylor has dealt with a knee injury that has sidelined him for two games, but head coach Rex Ryan stated earlier that he is "confident" in his availability for Week 9. If that's the case, EJ Manuel will be relegated to backup duty once again.
Fantasy impact: The injury report has been as thick as an encyclopedia for the Bills this season, but despite that, only four quarterbacks have averaged more fantasy points per game than Taylor. As a result, he is firmly in QB1 territory barring any setbacks, and fantasy owners should not have any hesitation starting him on Sunday against a Dolphins defense he shredded for three touchdowns in Week 3.
Perhaps no team needed a bye week to get healthy more than the Bills did in Week 8, and Taylor’s performance should reflect its benefits.
