E.J. Manuel expected to be Bills' number two quarterback
The Buffalo Bills are expected to use E.J. Manuel as their backup quarterback to open the season.
What It Means:
The Bills are expected to release Matt Cassel, and they will place Manuel behind starter Tyrod Taylor. Manuel has impressed this preseason going 20-of-30 for 358 passing yards with 4 touchdowns and 0 interceptions.
The Bills ranked 14th in our schedule-adjusted Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) metric last season. Manuel ranked 35th out of 48 quarterbacks with at least 75 attempts in our Passing NEP per play metric. It is best to avoid all Bills quarterbacks for fantasy purposes to start the season.
