Week 5 – vs Buffalo – L 13-14
QB: Mariota a bad game despite decent rushing numbers. Held in check by great pass rush. Receivers weren’t doing him any favors. Will get better but not against a D like this.
RB: Sankey and Andrews split carries and receptions. Roughly equal numbers with Andrews getting a goal line TD. Probably will continue like this as they are pretty similar in talent with Sankey only slightly better.
WR: Everything was contained by D. Wright and Hunter below average games in tough match up. Not totally their fault as the rookie QB will struggle with elite Ds.
TE: Walker did little and it’s same story as WRs.
OL: Not great in any way here. Couldn’t handle blitz or open holes for run game. Just outmatched in this one.
Def: Played pretty well other than being unable to contain scrambling QB. D looks much better overall than last season and might be a little more scary for fantasy.
