With Donald Jones expected to miss up to six weeks because of a sprained ankle, the Bills’ No-Name group of receivers is prepared to add another layer of anonymity.

Naaman Roosevelt, anyone?

In the latest installment of what’s become a near weekly “Who’s Next?” succession plan at receiver, the Bills are trading one 2010 undrafted rookie free agent in Jones for another in Roosevelt. The former University at Buffalo star has in six short weeks gone from being one of the team’s final cuts to stepping into a potential No. 2 spot Sunday when the Bills (4-1) travel to play the New York Giants (3-2).

Roosevelt already has Ryan Fitzpatrick’s trust.

Filling in after Jones was hurt Sunday, Roosevelt had five catches for 41 yards in a 31-24 win over Philadelphia. Three of his receptions came in the second half, including a nifty 20-yard gain with Buffalo nursing a 31-24 lead and facing first-and-15 at its own 5-yard line in the fourth quarter.

“That’s just how we play. That’s my style,” Fitzpatrick said. “I’m going to throw to the open guy.”

Better third-down offense plus more running plays equals fewer pass rushers landing on top of Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.

That’s one of the formulas the Buffalo Bills will have to master if they are going to pull an upset of the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

The Eagles enter the game ranked 30th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed and first in the NFL in sacking the quarterback. The Bills rank fifth in rushing yards. All the Bills need to do to win is run the ball, right? Not so fast.

The Bills acknowledged they need to have success on the ground Wednesday, but they won’t have the chance to do it if they don’t keep their drives alive by improving their performance on third downs.

Fantasy Impact:

We're expecting another big game from Fred Jackson, who should thrive against one of the league's worst rush defenses. Per our schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed tool, the Eagles have given up the most points to opposing RBs this season.

Depending on how one keeps score, David Nelson is developing at a quicker rate than Donald Jones as the No. 2 receiving option in the Buffalo Bills' suddenly high-scoring offense.

In addition to scoring the winning touchdown last Sunday against Oakland, Nelson is the team leader in receptions and yards — the statistics that matter most for wideouts. But if not for Jones, the second-year receiver from Youngstown State, the Bills could easily be .500 instead of overflowing with confidence heading into Sunday's AFC East matchup with New England.

Underscored in the Bills' thrilling, 38-35 come-from-behind victory against the Raiders were two key plays by Jones on what proved to be the winning drive: A 9-yard reception on fourth-and-3 and an end-zone breakup of a Ryan Fitzpatrick pass that was nearly intercepted.

The result was a young receiver sending a message to his teammates that he can be counted on in tough moments. That is part of the blueprint to help Jones grow into his expanded role as the No. 2 receiver and Lee Evans' replacement.

"Donald has not made as many big plays yet but I think as time goes on he's going to continue to be a bigger and bigger part of our offense," Bills coach Chan Gailey said. "He's a very good football player and I think going to be a very good football player for a long time here."

Fantasy Impact:

Nelson is the better pickup this week given his hot start, but fantasy owners in deeper leagues should keep an eye on Jones.
