Bills' Joe Banyard: Strong finish to audition
Joe Banyard carried 14 times for 68 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's preseason finale. He also caught both of his targets for a total of 17 yards.Assuming the run-oriented Buffalo Bills keep five people in their backfield, that looks like it'll be enough for Banyard to make the team over Taiwan Jones and Jordan Johnson. Anything can happen on what will be one giant cut day, but a fivesome of running backs LeSean McCoy, Jonathan Williams and Banyard with fullbacks Patrick DiMarco and Mike Tolbert looks like the best bet once all the dust settles. That all said, if Banyard does make the squad, he'll start fourth in terms of fantasy value, ahead of only blocking guru DiMarco.
