Bills Get Massive Boost as Ed Oliver and DJ Moore Expected to Play Against Chargers
Ian Rapoport tweeted that both players are expected to be active, calling it 'some positive health news.'
The are getting two of their biggest names back on the field today, which is objectively terrible news for a team that already looks like it wants the season to be over.
Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that defensive tackle Ed Oliver and wide receiver are both expected to suit up after spending the week carrying questionable tags.
Oliver missed Week 2 after pulling his hip in pregame warmups. Suffering a game-ending injury before the stadium even fills up sounds more like something you get reaching for the TV remote in your thirties than preparing for an NFL game, but the 28-year-old is apparently good to go.
Moore is playing through an AC joint sprain in his shoulder after taking a brutal landing in the end zone against the last week. He already has 100 receiving yards and a touchdown on just five catches this year, proving he is still the primary engine of this passing attack when his upper body is fully attached.
For anyone staring at their fantasy apps or trying to figure out player props, this completely shifts the board. Having Moore back on the outside changes the math for the offense, while Oliver returning to the defensive interior is a nightmare for a winless squad trying to keep their quarterback upright.
The 2-0 Bills host the 0-2 this afternoon. If Oliver and Moore are truly full-go, has a prime opportunity to bury Los Angeles before the first quarter even ends.
