Given that Nagy likes to spread the ball around, who do you think is going to be the leading receiver this week?

The Bills defense is good but they’ve shown to have a significant problem with slot receivers this year. Julian Edelman abused them for 104 yards last week. Davante Adams and Keke Coutee also had nice performances as well. No doubt they’ll be devoting a ton of their attention to Taylor Gabriel and Tarik Cohen. This should open the door wide for another emerging stud.

That’s Anthony Miller. He didn’t get off to the best start this year but man is he starting to come on lately. It seems like every time the Bears throw his way, he’s open. His sharp route running and quickness were a major danger from the start. Now the game is slowing down for him and he’s gaining confidence each week. I expect him to have a big day.
