Jordan Poyer NEWS
Jordan Poyer Will Play On Monday Night
Buffalo Bills All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer (knee) said that he has been playing this year with a torn lateral meniscus in his knee, but he will be out there on Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals to close out Week 17 action. Buffalo hasn't lost any of the last 14 regular season games that Poyer has played in. Poyer was listed as questionable for Monday's game, but he will play and should be an every-down player after playing 92 percent of the offensive snaps in last week's win over the Chicago Bears. The Bills defense will need all the help they can get in trying to slow down Bengals wideouts Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd in a big AFC showdown. A first-time Pro Bowler in 2022, Poyer enters the game with 54 tackles (37 solo), four tackles for loss, four interceptions and eight passes defensed in 11 starts.
Jan 2, 2023 • 9:48 PM | RotoBallerJordan Poyer Questionable For Week 17
Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 17 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 31-year-old missed practice on Thursday and Friday due to a lingering knee issue. His absence would certainly be a significant hit to the Bills defense. Poyer leads the team with four interceptions and ranks top 12 in coverage grades among safeties this season, according to Pro Football Focus. The Bills defense is not exactly a strong play in fantasy leagues against the Bengals offensive unit. However, Poyer being on the field would certainly be an upgrade for this defense.
Dec 31, 2022 • 11:49 PM | RotoBallerJordan Poyer Officially Active Sunday
Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (elbow) is officially active for Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns. He had been listed as questionable but practiced in full on Friday. Poyer has amassed 21 tackles and four interceptions through five games this season. His presence will bolster the Bills' secondary on Sunday afternoon.
Nov 20, 2022 • 4:42 PM | RotoBallerJordan Poyer, Greg Rousseau Ruled Out
Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (elbow) and defensive end Greg Rousseau (ankle) have both been ruled out for Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings. Poyer suffered an elbow injury in Week 8 and hasn't played since. The 31-year-old All-Pro leads the Bills with four interceptions, so his absence is notable against a Vikings offense that loves to throw the ball. With Poyer out again, Dean Marlowe is likely to make another start this Sunday. Rousseau suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 9 loss to the New York Jets and is likely to miss multiple games. The 22-year-old's five sacks rank second on the team, so he will also be missed in the matchup against Minnesota. Despite the absences of both Poyer and Rousseau, the Bills defense/special teams unit remains a strong starting unit in fantasy.
Nov 11, 2022 • 5:07 PM | RotoBallerJordan Poyer Ruled Out This Week
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that safety Jordan Poyer (elbow) will not play in Week 9 against the New York Jets. Poyer suffered an elbow injury last Sunday night in the win over the Green Bay Packers and will miss at least a week. He's being considered week-to-week, so he's no lock to return in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings. The recently acquired Dean Marlowe should step in right away and play a big role for Buffalo's secondary at strong safety with Poyer injured. The 31-year-old Poyer was a first-team All-Pro in 2021 and has 21 tackles (15 solo), four interceptions and six passes defensed in his first five games this year.
Nov 4, 2022 • 4:50 PM | RotoBallerJordan Poyer Week-To-Week
Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (elbow), who was unable to practice on Wednesday, is considered week-to-week with the elbow injury that he suffered in the Sunday night win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, according to a source. It's unlikely that the 31-year-old will be ready to go for the Week 9 divisional contest against the New York Jets, but it appears that Poyer avoided a season-ending injury. Dean Marlowe, who was acquired at the trade deadline on Tuesday, could see a significant role in his first game with the Bills this Sunday if Poyer is unable to play. Poyer, a first-team All-Pro in 2021, has 21 tackles (15 solo), a league-high four interceptions and six passes defensed in five games played in 2022.
Nov 3, 2022 • 4:12 PM | RotoBallerJordan Poyer Awaiting MRI Results
Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (elbow) said he "felt like a pop" in his elbow during Sunday night's win over the Green Bay Packers, but he will wait for the results of his MRI exam on Monday. Poyer is staying positive, but he's dealt with several injuries already this year, making it a frustrating season to this point. The 31-year-old All-Pro was ruled out for the rest of the game in the Week 8 matchup against Green Bay, and he recorded five tackles (three solo) before leaving. Poyer is usually in play in IDP formats when he's healthy, but he's managed to play in only five games so far in 2022. In those five contests, he has 21 tackles (15 solo), a league-leading four interceptions and six passes defensed.
Oct 31, 2022 • 4:06 PM | RotoBallerJordan Poyer Injures Elbow Sunday Night
Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (elbow) suffered an elbow injury in the Sunday night game against the Green Bay Packers and has been ruled out for the rest of the game. Before leaving the game in the second half, Poyer had five tackles (three solo), and it remains to be seen if the injury is serious enough to keep him sidelined for the Week 9 matchup with the New York Jets. Sunday night's contest was just Poyer's fifth game of the season because of injuries, and Buffalo's secondary would be missing a key piece if he's forced to miss time moving forward. The 31-year-old was a first-team All-Pro in 2021, and he already has a league-high four interceptions and six passes defensed this year.
Oct 31, 2022 • 3:09 AM | RotoBallerJordan Poyer Inactive Against Dolphins
Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (foot) is officially inactive for the Week 3 game against the Miami Dolphins. Fellow safety Micah Hyde (neck) is also out for the rest of the 2022 season, so Buffalo's secondary will be extremely short-handed on Sunday against a Dolphins team that put up 40-plus points in their come-from-behind win over the Ravens last week. The Bills defense is still a strong fantasy unit, but the loss of Hyde and Poyer for this one is concerning. They'll be starting safeties Damar Hamlin and Jaquan Johnson. Rookies Kaiir Elam and Christian Benford will start at cornerback. The group has made three combined starts in the NFL entering Sunday's game.
Sep 25, 2022 • 3:34 PM | RotoBallerJordan Poyer Expected To Miss Week 3
Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (foot) is not expected to play against the Miami Dolphins in Week 3, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. He had been listed as questionable. This news means that Buffalo will be without its top two safeties after Micah Hyde was also ruled out and subsequently placed on injured reserve. The Bills' defense is quite banged up heading into Sunday's game, leaving the potential for a high-scoring affair in Miami.
Sep 25, 2022 • 1:23 AM | RotoBallerJordan Poyer Considered Day-To-Day
Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (foot) missed practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday, but he's being considered day-to-day with his foot injury, according to a source. Safety Micah Hyde (neck) has also missed both practices this week, so Buffalo's strong secondary could be short-handed in a big divisional matchup in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins against quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who threw six touchdowns in an incredible Week 2 comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens. Poyer is a must-start in IDP lineups on a weekly basis, but fantasy managers in those formats might have to look in another direction this week if he's unable to suit up. We'll have a better idea of his status for this Sunday after Friday's practice.
Sep 23, 2022 • 3:10 AM | RotoBallerJordan Poyer Practices In Full Monday
Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (elbow) was a full participant in practice on Monday and was no longer in a red non-contact jersey. Poyer, a top-five option at defensive back in IDP fantasy leagues, is trending in the right direction and should be ready to play in Week 1 of the regular season this Thursday night against the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams. The 31-year-old will continue to play a key role for Buffalo's secondary this year in what should be one of the more attractive fantasy units in the league. Poyer was named a first-team All-Pro in 2021, when he finished with 93 tackles (66 solo), eight tackles for loss, three QB hits, three sacks, five interceptions and nine passes defensed in 16 regular season starts.
Sep 5, 2022 • 10:24 PM | RotoBallerJordan Poyer Expected To Play On Thursday
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said he'll be "surprised" if safety Jordan Poyer (elbow) doesn't play in the Week 1 season opener on Thursday night against the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams. Poyer said last week that he was expecting himself to play in the regular season opener as well. The 31-year-old is a key component of a strong secondary in Buffalo, but his status for Week 1 had been in question due to a hyperextended elbow that he suffered in the beginning of August that caused him to miss all three preseason games. Poyer was a first-team All-Pro in 2021 when he had 93 tackles (66 solo), three sacks, eight tackles for loss and a career-high-tying five interceptions in 16 regular season starts. He's a top-five defensive back in IDP leagues.
