The Facts:
Buffalo wide receiver Donald Jones was leveled on a clean hit by New England defensive tackle Vince Wilfork in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 52-28 loss to the Patriots. Jones exited the game with two catches for 90 yards and a touchdown. Two plays later, Scott Chandler took a blindside hit to the head by New England linebacker Brandon Spikes when the tight end turned into a blocker after Devin McCourty intercepted a Ryan Fitzpatrick pass. Chandler had four catches for 62 yards and two touchdowns prior to the head injury. Jones and Chandler reportedly passed concussion tests and said they were fine after the game. In his weekly appearance on WGR Sportsradio 550, head coach Chan Gailey said pulling the two from the game was precautionary and he expected them to be ready for the Bills Week 5 contest with the San Francisco 49ers.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Chandler is a legitimate red-zone target and safety value for for Ryan Fitzpatrick. He's money in the red-zone as long as Fitzpatrick throw the ball with reasonable accuracy. Fantasy owners looking for a bye-week replacement should take a look at Chandler. He has 12 catches, for 175 yards and four touchdowns through four games. While Jones is emerging as Fitzpatrick's best deep threat, he doesn't see enough targets to make him a guy you could start with confidence on a weekly basis. He is a better option in deeper leagues or as a bye-week fill in or match-up based spot starter. The Bills face the 49ers, Cardinals and Titans before their Week 8 bye.
