Orton will start against New England in Week 17, ESPN's Mike Rodak reports. It's probably bad news for EJ Manuel that the Bills will keep him benched this far into a lost season, but Orton will in any case finish the year as the starter. As much as it's difficult to trust Orton in fantasy football from week to week, he did manage to post a respectable box score of 299 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against New England in Week 6.
