Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor did not have a very good game Week 8 vs. the Oakland Raiders, but he finally scored his first rushing touchdown of the season in the win. Taylor finished the game with 165 yards and a passing touchdown on 20 completions. He had six carries in the game but netted only 1 rushing yard on a touchdown run. It was his lowest total-yard effort so far this season.

Taylor should bounce back against division rivals New York Jets Thursday night. His passing options are still limited, however, the Jets defense does not offer much of a challenge. So far this season the Jets have given up the most passing touchdowns and rank third-worst in sacks. They have given up 200 passing yards and at least two touchdowns to quarterbacks in their last three games. In their Week 1 faceoff, Taylor threw 16 completions for 224 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.
Fantasy impact: It would be very surprising if Taylor does not have a strong game Thursday night. The Jets rank at the bottom in most defensive categories meaning Taylor can have his way in the air and on the ground. With Taylor scoring as a passer and runner now, it’s hard to leave him on the bench especially with a favorable matchup.
