3. Rashaan Evans

With Josh Allen back in, the day gets easier for the defensive backs and harder for the linebackers.

Now, you have to focus more on the read option action between Allen and Frank Gore instead of the vertical passing game of Matt Barkley. That means that someone like Rashaan Evans is going to be key.

Stressing this even more, another player with an apparent mild concussion in Buffalo was fullback Patrick Dimarco. If there is a fullback in the game, you can almost guarantee that he and Evans are going to end up facing off whether that means stopping a dive, trying to beat him in pass rush situations or covering him in the flats.

Again, with Allen in stopping the run game is key and to do that someone needs to do the dirty work. Evans has been outstanding doing the things that no one gets credit for, but that makes all the difference in the game.

His performance is key in this game and I think he is the most talented man in this confrontation.
