Quick Hops

Javonte Williams saw a season-high 30 opportunities in their upset win over the Chiefs after failing to record more than 20 in a game all season. He seems like the clear number one option in that backfield with Jaleel McLaughlin and Samaje Perine now splitting backup duties.
From Kyle Dvorchak, Week 8 was the first time that a Buffalo wide receiver not named Gabe Davis or Stefon Diggs ran a route on over half of Josh Allen‘s dropbacks as Khalil Shakir ran a route on 72% of dropbacks.
Jahan Dotson has suddenly gotten really good again. He’s had 8+ targets in back-to-back games and eclipsed 100 receiving yards for the first time this past week.
