5 of 5

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – SEPTEMBER 23: Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills fumbles the ball after getting hit by Harrison Smith #22 of the Minnesota Vikings in the third quarter of the game at U.S. Bank Stadium on September 23, 2018 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images) /

1. Harrison Smith (no change)

Harrison Smith didn’t have his best game against the Bills, who were scoring at will against the Vikings defense, but he didn’t perform poorly enough to knock him out of the top spot in this week’s player rankings.

Smith still racked up 5 tackles during the game with four of them being solo, including one sack on quarterback Josh Allen despite the quarterback carving up the Minnesota defense for three total touchdowns, one through the air and two on the ground.

Week 4 will put Harrison Smith in a position where he will be facing off against one of the most dynamic offenses in the league which could put his status on the top of the list in jeopardy for the first time since the inception of these player rankings.

Just outside the top 10
