After winning the coin toss Calais Campbell Jersey , Josh Allen quickly asked for the ball.He was eager and ready to go — and it showed.Allen shook off some first-game jitters and completed 9 of 11 passes for 102 yards and led two scoring drives, Kevin Johnson returned an interception 71 yards for a touchdown, and the Buffalo Bills beat the Carolina Panthers 27-14 on Friday night in the second preseason game for both teams."We won the coin toss, and from that point on we were ready to go," Allen said.Allen is looking to build confidence after going 5-6 as a rookie starter last season. He took a step forward against the Panthers, leading a 13-play, 63-yard drive that culminated in a field goal, and a touchdown drive capped by a 1-yard run by LeSean McCoy to put Buffalo (2-0) up 10-0 early before exiting the game. His only regret is getting to play just two possessions.Allen continued to develop his chemistry with recently signed free agent wide receiver Cole Beasley, connecting on five passes for 54 yards."It looked like the game slowed down this week a little bit for him and that's good to see," Bills coach Sean McDermott said of his second-year quarterback.Matt Barkley also looked solid in a backup role, completing 8 of 10 passes for 110 yards, including a 9-yard TD pass to Duke Williams.The Panthers (1-1) struggled mightily on offense without Cam Newton, who didn't play for the second straight week.Buffalo's defense held Carolina to 132 yards in the first half after spending two days facing the Panthers in joint practices earlier this week. The Panthers didn't help themselves with five holding penalties before halftime.Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he was disappointed in his team's performance."We had a lot of young guys out there that need to turn the corner," Rivera said. "The first two games were really about the young guys getting chances. Quite frankly, from perspective, I don't think some of the young guys stepped up when they had the chances."RESTING STARTERSRivera said Wednesday all of his regular starters would play, but reversed course before the game and decided to rest Newton, running back Christian McCaffrey, tight end Greg Olsen, and linebackers Luke Kuechly and Shaq Thompson.PANTHERS QBS STRUGGLEKyle Allen got the start for the Panthers for the second straight game and was ineffective, completing 4 of 11 passes for 32 yards while playing into the second quarter.Rookie Will Grier, the team's third-round draft pick https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Blake-Bortles-Jersey , didn't do any better. He threw his second pass into double coverage near the sideline, resulting in an easy pick-6 for Johnson making it 17-0 Buffalo with 7:20 left in the second quarter.Rivera said Grier needs to get quicker with his decision making."He made a bad read on the throw and threw it to the outside when he should have thrown it inside," Rivera said of Grier's interception to Johnson.PROPS TO DADAfter his 71-yard interception return, Johnson found his father in the stands and gave him the football."My pops," Johnson said. "Him coming out here, supporting me and watching the game. I just wanted to give that to him."REID BLASTS JAY-Z AGAINPanthers safety Eric Reid continued his criticism of hip hop artist Jay-Z for potentially becoming part owner of an NFL team, as TMZ reported."More of the same," Reid said. "Jay-Z claimed to be a supporter of Colin (Kaepernick). He wore his jersey, told people not to perform at the Super Bowl because of the treatment the NFL gives Colin. And now he's going to be a part owner. ... It's kind of despicable."Reid kneeled for the national anthem, continuing his protest against social and racial injustices in America.RUGBY STAR CREATES TIDAL WAVEPerhaps the best offensive play came from a former English rugby player, Christian Wade, who caught a swing pass from Tyree Jackson and broke four tackles en route to a 48-yard gain before being tackled near the goal line."Awesome," McDermott said with a smile. "I could feel the sideline like a tidal wave about to come over me."The 28-year-old Wade is a long shot to make the Bills — he's seventh on the depth chart — but is hoping to defy the odds after scoring 82 tries in premiership rugby, the top division in England.INJURIESBills rookie cornerback Cam Lewis suffered a concussion in the first half and did not return.UP NEXTBills: visit the Detroit Lions next Friday night.Panthers: visit the New England Patriots on Thursday night in what could be Newton's first action of the preseason. Patrick Mahomes is good. 2018 David Johnson looks nothing like 2016 David Johnson. The Rams defense has not only replaced the Seahawks as the NFC’s most dominant unit, but may be the best the NFL has to offer.Week 3 will go a long way toward helping fantasy football owners decide how those clear early observations play out. Mahomes, Johnson and the Rams defense are certain starts, but the same can’t be said for some others whose fate will hinge on the faith of their owners.START: Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, Buccaneers: FitzMagic’s next act won’t be too hard as the Steelers defense looks easily disappears. Pittsburgh is 31st in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks and will have to contend with the withering assault that will come from Fitzpatrick firing the ball to the likes of Mike Evans, O.J. Howard and DeSean Jackson. Mahomes’ historic start is the only reason that Fitzpatrick’s 699 yards and eight touchdowns aren’t the story of fantasy football. Playing Fitzpatrick on Monday night will give his owners plenty of confidence in pulling out a Week 3 victory.SIT: Aaron Rodgers, QB, Packers: Seriously. The threat of his injured knee giving way blends in with a road game against a Redskins defense that has allowed 161 passing yards per game and a mere 5.1 yards per attempt. Rodgers saw his Week 1 fantasy output nearly cut in half by the Vikings last week and the Redskins will be focused on forcing him to make plays on his bad leg. Under normal circumstances A.J. Bouye Color Rush Jersey , Rodgers is a must-start on a weekly basis, yet there’s too much risk in play with his injury. Those who have a QB2 who is healthy and has a favorable matchup may want to go in that direction.START: Matt Breida, RB, 49ers: He’s not going to repeat his 12.5 yards per carry from last week against the Lions, but Breida is in line for another big afternoon against a Chiefs defense that is giving up yardage in big chunks. While Kansas City is seventh overall versus the run, its inability to stop pass-catching backs is why it’s 30th in fantasy points allowed per game to opposing runners. Alfred Morris will still get his touches but in a game with two bad defenses, Brieda is the clear choice, especially in point-per-reception (PPR) formats.SIT: Dalvin Cook, RB, Vikings: A hamstring issue led Cook to miss practice on Wednesday and with a battered Bills defense on the Sunday docket, this could lead Minnesota to either put him on a tight “pitch count” in favor of Latavius Murray or have him sit out. Buffalo is 29th in fantasy points allowed per game against opposing backs, making Cook a tempting play, but don’t be surprised if the Vikings play the long-term game and make Murray an intriguing flex option.START: Corey Clement, RB, Eagles: It’s unlikely that Jay Ajayi and/or Darren Sproles will be available against the Colts, making Clement a sneaky good start in PPR leagues. Clement caught five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown in last week’s loss against the Buccaneers and gets a meaty matchup against Indianapolis. The Colts are allowing 11 catches and 93 yards per game to opposing running backs. With Nelson Agholor and Zach Ertz as the only reliable options in the Philadelphia passing game, look for the returning Carson Wentz to help get Clement 12-15 touches as a dual threat.SIT: Corey Davis, WR, Titans: Quarterback Marcus Mariota’s status remains in question, which means Blaine Gabbert will again be cast into the role of game manager for a run-heavy attack. It doesn’t help Davis’ cause that he’ll see plenty of All-Pro corner Jalen Ramsey much of the afternoon. The Jaguars are ninth in fantasy points allowed per game to opposing receivers and if Gabbert is indeed the starter, don’t count on Davis putting up big numbers.START: Keelan Cole, WR Justin Blackmon Jersey , Jaguars: Leonard Fournette should return to the lineup, but it shouldn’t keep Cole from having a solid encore performance after last week’s seven-catch, 116-yard outing against the Patriots that included his first touchdown of the season. Cole has caught 10 of his 12 targets in the early going and has shown his big-play skills, having pulled in four passes of 20-plus yards. Tennessee has allowed a staggering 70 percent completion rate to opposing passers and if the Titans put too much focus on slowing down Fournette, Cole and Blake Bortles will be able to put up solid numbers.SIT: Tyler Eifert, TE, Bengals: C.J. Uzomah is beginning to steal targets from Eifert and it doesn’t help his cause that the Panthers have been solid when it comes to containing opposing tight ends. Eifert could have red zone potential, but the Bengals will look to exploit a Carolina defense that is 28th in completion percentage (73.7) by using running back Gio Bernard to help take attention off A.J. Green.START: Matthew Stafford, QB, Lions: Detroit is 30th in rushing, which is more reason for Stafford to fire away against a New England defense that was scorched by Blake Bortles last week. The Pats have allowed 276 passing yards per game and Stafford comes off a 347-yard, three-TD performance in the loss at the 49ers. This should also be a good game to play Lions receiver Kenny Golladay, who has seemingly passed by Marvin Jones and could have a huge Sunday night.SIT: Josh Gordon, WR, Patriots: Tom Brady will get to deploy his latest weapon on Sunday night, but Gordon won’t be on the field enough to justify starting him. Gordon will probably get 15-20 plays, which means he will get three to four targets with at least one a downfield shot. It will be best to wait a game or two before going all-in with Gordon, whose upside has never looked better now that he is with a franchise who can help him mature on and off the field.
