MonitorChristian Watson‘s health: Watson suffered a concussion after his only catch and didn’t return to the game.

• He had missed the last two weeks and was questionable coming into the game with a hamstring injury.
• He played six of the first eight snaps, seeing more playing time than fellow rookie Romeo Doubs, albeit in run situations.
• He was playing across from Sammy Watkins, as Allen Lazard was inactive due to injury and Randall Cobb is on injured reserve.
• Doubs resumed the starting role after the injury and scored the Packers' first touchdown.
• Amari Rodgers was used in three-receiver sets from that point on, although he never saw a target.
• Doubs is worth a waiver wire claim, as he’s the only intriguing healthy option on the offense. He led the team in targets and receiving yards.

Add James Cook: The Bills rookie put up the best numbers of his career and could continue to play more.

• He ran the ball five times for 34 yards and caught a 41-yard pass.
• Zack Moss was inactive in Buffalo's last game, which showed Cook was a clear second on the depth chart.
• Moss was active tonight, but Cook was still the only other running back to see playing time.
• Buffalo has one of the easiest schedules remaining and will have plenty of low-risk opportunities to let Cook play, giving him a chance to earn more playing time.

Table Notes

• Snaps include plays called back due to penalties, including offensive holding or defensive pass interference. The other three stats have these plays removed.

• Targets may differ from official NFL sources. The most likely discrepancy would be from a clear thrown-away pass, where the NFL may give the target to the nearest receiver, while this data will not.

• Carries are only on designed plays. Quarterback scrambles won’t count for the total number of carries in the game.
