Speaking Wednesday, coach Sean McDermott said Frank Gore remains the Bills' starting running back. To "remain" something, one would have to be in that spot in the first place. Gore didn't start the opener against the Jets and was out-snapped 45-19 by rookie Devin Singletary. Nobody is buying Gore as the lead back, and McDermott admitted he's not trying to show his hand to the opponent. The Giants will be expecting to see Singletary. Gore stumbled forward for 20 yards on 11 carries Week 1. Singletary was much more effective with 70 yards on four attempts, adding another 28 yards on five catches. Gore can be dropped in normal-sized 12-team leagues. He got most of his work as the "closer" on the final drive against the Jets.

Sterling Shepard (concussion) is out for Week 2 against the Bills. It was looking this way after Shepard sat out practice on both Wednesday and Thursday. He remains in the league's concussion protocol. Meanwhile Cody Latimer is questionable with a calf injury. Between their recent string of injuries and Golden Tate's four-game suspension, New York's pass-catching corps is going to be dangerously shorthanded against Buffalo. This is your cue to hammer Evan Engram and Saquon Barkley into your DFS lineups.

Buffalo

The Bills are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games following a straight up win.

New York

The Giants are just 1-6-1 against the number in their last eight home games.

Prediction

The Giants will put a bad product on the field consistently again this season and it’s likely that they’ll lose double-digit games. That said, they’re still a good bet to win 3-5 games and I see this matchup with the Bills being one of their few victories. Buffalo did nothing offensively until the fourth quarter last week and while Josh Allen and Co. deserve credit for rallying to beat the Jets, I see them as overvalued in this spot. They’re 1-4-1 against the spread in their last six games versus the Giants, who are not talented overall but who do have sensational Saquon Barkley to help move the ball. I see this being an ugly game that comes down to the wire and I’m going to take the home squad catching points.
