The Buffalo Bills are enjoying a strong start to the 2024 NFL season with a 2-0 record as they prepare to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in their second home game. Despite the Jaguars entering the matchup at 0-2 and struggling on offense, the unpredictable nature of the NFL means the Bills can't take victory for granted. Buffalo has showcased depth across their roster, with various players stepping up and performing well, from star quarterbacks to emerging skill-position players.

One standout player for the Bills heading into Week 3 is Cook, who has been instrumental in Buffalo's success running the football. With 30 carries for 149 yards and two touchdowns, along with four receptions for 49 yards and another touchdown, Cook has become a key weapon alongside quarterback Josh Allen. Jacksonville's defense has shown vulnerability against the run, allowing 206 rushing yards and two touchdowns so far this season. Slowing down Cook will be crucial for the Jaguars' chances of securing a win on Monday night.

Wide receiver Khalil Shakir has emerged as a top performer for the Bills, leading the team in targets, catches, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. With his versatility and ability to create space on the field, Shakir is expected to play a significant role in Buffalo's offense against Jacksonville. On the defensive side, defensive end is another player to watch after impressing with standout performances in previous games. His ability to disrupt opposing offenses will be vital in containing Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and limiting Jacksonville's offensive productivity.
