Bills D/ST's fantasy role in Week 10
Bills D/ST goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a matchup-dependent DST option for the BUF. He is rostered in 45% of leagues and actually started in 40% of them, and we rank him DST10 on our own weekly board at 3 projected points.
Interest is climbing — roster rates moved up about 12% over the last week, which usually means managers are reacting to a bigger snap or target share.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.

Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Bills D/ST (BUF DST), our DST10 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season at NYJ, projecting 3.0 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 3.5 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Nothing in the projection defends him — 54% below positional par is a bench line for me. The at NYJ draw matters here — road snaps against NYJ shape how often he's asked to do something. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
