Dawson Knox Dawson Knox Added snaps likely Monday Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 5:06 PM Knox figures to see added opportunities Monday night against the Falcons, with fellow TE Dalton Kincaid (oblique) inactive for the contest. Analysis: With Kincaid, who leads the Bills with 287 receiving yards through five games, unavailable, Knox -- who has logged a 6/54/0 receiving line in that span -- represents a late plug-in option for fantasy managers who would normally rely on Kincaid. Jackson Hawes (who has four catches for 54 yards and a TD thus far) is Buffalo's other active tight end Monday.
Elijah Moore Elijah Moore Active against Atlanta Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 5:03 PM Moore is active for Monday night's game against the Falcons. Analysis: Moore was healthy inactive last Sunday night against New England, but with Curtis Samuel (neck) out Monday night, Moore will draw back into the lineup. Moore has four catches for 64 scoreless yards this season.
Curtis Samuel Curtis Samuel Won't suit up vs. Falcons Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 4:51 PM Samuel (neck/ribs) is inactive for Monday's road game against Atlanta. Analysis: Samuel was initially listed as questionable for Monday's matchup after logging a LP-DNP-LP practice slate, but he ultimately won't go. With Buffalo set to benefit from a Week 7 bye, Samuel will have extra time to get healthy and work to get back on the field Week 8 versus the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 26. With Samuel sidelined, Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer are in line to lead the Bills' Week 6 WR corps, while Brandon Codrington and Ty Johnson will operate as the team's top kick returners.
Dalton Kincaid Dalton Kincaid Inactive Monday Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 4:50 PM Kincaid (oblique) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Falcons. Analysis: Kincaid, who opened the practice week Thursday sporting a non-contact jersey, was subsequently deemed limited in all three sessions before being listed as questionable for Monday's contest. Now that he's been ruled out versus Atlanta, Dawson Knox is in line to lead the Bills' Week 6 TE corps, with Jackson Hawes available to mix in. Kincaid will target a potential return to action Oct. 26 against the Panthers, following Buffalo's bye week.
Curtis Samuel Curtis Samuel Questionable for Week 6 Sat, Oct 11, 2025, 1:59 PM Samuel (neck/ribs) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest in Atlanta. Analysis: Samuel sandwiched an absence from practice Friday around limited sessions Thursday and Saturday due to neck and rib injuries, leaving his status up in the air ahead of Monday's 7:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's able to suit up, he'll be a target available to QB Josh Allen while serving as the Bills' primary kick returner.
Dalton Kincaid Dalton Kincaid Questionable for MNF Sat, Oct 11, 2025, 1:48 PM Kincaid (oblique) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Atlanta. Analysis: Kincaid donned a non-contact jersey at Thursday's practice and spent the entirety of Week 6 prep as a limited participant due to an oblique injury. With a Monday night kickoff on tap, there won't be many options to turn to if Kincaid ends up inactive. Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes currently are the TE options on the Bills' active roster.
Dalton Kincaid Dalton Kincaid Stays limited Friday Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 2:41 PM Kincaid (oblique) remained a limited participant in practice Friday. Analysis: Kincaid has been limited both Thursday and Friday. He'll have one more opportunity to upgrade to full participation Saturday before the Bills reveal their injury designations for Monday's game against the Falcons.
Curtis Samuel Curtis Samuel Downgrades to DNP on Friday Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 2:30 PM Samuel (neck/ribs) didn't practice Friday. Analysis: Samuel's trending in the wrong direction after kicking off Week 6 prep with a limited session Thursday. A potential injury designation for Monday's game against the Falcons won't come until the Bills release their injury report Saturday.
Dalton Kincaid Dalton Kincaid Logs limited practice Thu, Oct 9, 2025, 2:43 PM Kincaid (oblique) was limited at practice Thursday. Analysis: Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, Kincaid sported a non-contact jersey during Thursday's session, with the Bills' first practice report of the week revealing that the tight end is working through an oblique issue. Kincaid now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level ahead of Monday night's game against the Falcons. In this past Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots, Kincaid logged a 54 percent snap share while catching all six of his targets for a team-high 108 yards.
Curtis Samuel Curtis Samuel Limited in practice Thursday Thu, Oct 9, 2025, 2:42 PM Samuel (neck/ribs) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Analysis: Samuel played a season-high 49 percent of offensive snaps during Buffalo's loss to New England in Week 5, in which he secured both of his targets for 26 yards and one score, but he appears to have picked up a pair of injuries in the process. He also racked up 86 yards across three kick returns versus the Patriots. Samuel will figure to handle a similar role on the road against Atlanta on Monday night, as long as he can gain clearance to suit up.
Dalton Kincaid Dalton Kincaid Wearing non-contact jersey Thu, Oct 9, 2025, 12:31 PM Kincaid (undisclosed) is wearing a non-contact jersey at Thursday's practice, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports. Analysis: Kincaid appears to be dealing with an injury ahead of Monday's road matchup against the Falcons. At the latest, Thursday's official injury report will reveal both the nature of Kincaid's issue and his practice level. The third-year pro has scored three times across five-regular season appearances so far, and he surpassed 100 receiving yards Week 5 versus the Patriots, performances which have inspired confidence in his status as a weekly fantasy starter. If Kincaid were to miss any time, Dawson Knox would step into the No. 1 role at tight end.
Keon Coleman Keon Coleman Benched in disciplinary move Tue, Oct 7, 2025, 10:48 AM Bills head coach Sean McDermott revealed Monday that Coleman didn't play in the first series of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots due to a disciplinary matter, Alec White of the team's official site reports. Analysis: As a result of missing the first possession, Coleman played just 42 of the Bills' 68 offensive snaps on the night, with his 62 percent share representing his lowest mark since he logged 51 percent of snaps in Week 2, when Buffalo rested several key players late in a 20-point win over the Jets. McDermott didn't go into much detail about Coleman's benching beyond noting that the staff is "looking for more consistency" from the second-year wideout. For his part, Coleman seemed to respond well to the disciplinary decision, as he finished the Week 5 loss with four catches for 23 yards on seven targets, including a two-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Look for Coleman's playing time to tick back up a bit in Week 6 against the Falcons, though quarterback Josh Allen's tendency to spread the ball around to Buffalo's pass catchers renders Coleman a volatile option in weekly fantasy lineups.
Curtis Samuel Curtis Samuel Catches first TD of 2025 Mon, Oct 6, 2025, 6:43 PM Samuel logged two catches on as many targets for 26 yards and one touchdown during Buffalo's 23-20 loss to New England on Sunday. He also turned three kickoff returns into 84 yards. Analysis: Samuel helped give the Bills a 10-6 lead early in the third quarter after hauling in a six-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen. Samuel was on the field for 33 of the Bills' 68 offensive snaps (48.6 percent), which was fourth most among Buffalo wide receivers behind Khalil Shakir (43), Keon Coleman (42) and Joshua Palmer (35). Samuel has played in each of the Bills' last two games after being a healthy scratch for the first three games, though most of his contributions will come on special teams as a kick returner rather than on offense unless there's an injury in Buffalo's wide-receiver corps.
Joshua Palmer Joshua Palmer Logs two catches in Week 5 loss Mon, Oct 6, 2025, 6:36 PM Palmer caught two passes on as many targets for 36 yards during the Bills' 23-20 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. Analysis: Palmer was held to a 23-yard catch in the the second quarter for much of the game before hauling in a 13-yard grab on the last play of regulation. He was on the field for 35 of 68 offensive snaps (51.5 percent), which was third most among Bills wide receivers behind Khalil Shakir (43) and Keon Coleman (42). Palmer saw nine targets in his Bills debut Week 1 against the Ravens, but he has seen three looks or less from Josh Allen in each of the four games since. The lack of targets makes Palmer hard to count on from a fantasy perspective heading into Buffalo's Week 6 road contest against Atlanta on Monday, Oct. 13.
Dawson Knox Dawson Knox Catches two passes vs. Patriots Mon, Oct 6, 2025, 12:44 PM Knox caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Prior to Sunday night's loss, Knox hadn't caught a pass since the Bills' Week 2 win over the Jets. The veteran tight end from Ole Miss has primarily served as a blocker this season, catching six of 10 targets for 54 yards across Buffalo's first five games. He's expected to continue operating behind Dalton Kincaid in the Bills' Week 6 matchup against the Falcons.
Ty Johnson Ty Johnson Two carries vs. New England Mon, Oct 6, 2025, 12:38 PM Johnson rushed twice for 10 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Johnson played 12 offensive snaps and operated as Buffalo's top reserve running back for the third consecutive game in Week 5. He's now tallied 10 carries for 53 yards and one catch for eight yards across 73 offensive snaps this season. The Maryland product is expected to operate in a similar role in the Week 6 matchup against the Falcons, contributing both on offense and special teams.
Ray Davis Ray Davis Quiet again in Week 5 Mon, Oct 6, 2025, 12:31 PM Davis rushed twice for one yard in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: The second-year pro from Kentucky has now rushed 13 times for 30 yards over the Bills' first five games this season, playing 38 offensive snaps. In Sunday night's loss, Ty Johnson logged more offensive snaps than Davis (12 to six) for the third consecutive game, suggesting that he's taken over as Buffalo's No. 2 running back. Davis is likely to play a limited role in the Bills' offense again in the Week 6 matchup against the Falcons.
James Cook James Cook Held in check by New England Sun, Oct 5, 2025, 11:22 PM Cook rushed the ball 15 times for 49 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots. He did not catch his only target. Analysis: Cook endured his worst game of the season both as a rusher and receiver. His longest rush of the day went for only nine yards, and he also went without a catch for the first time on the campaign. Positively, Cook still dominated opportunity out of Bills' backfield, with Ray Davis and Ty Johnson combining to see only four rushing attempts with zero targets. Cook should have a strong chance of bouncing back in Week 6 against Atlanta.
Josh Allen Josh Allen Tops 300 total yards in loss Sun, Oct 5, 2025, 11:14 PM Allen completed 22 of 31 passes for 253 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots. He added nine rushes for 53 yards, while also losing a fumble. Analysis: Allen had an up-and-down showing, with his biggest mistake coming on an interception late in the third quarter that allowed New England to build a 10-point lead. He still had plenty of excellent stretches in the game, including completing five passes of at least 20 yards while delivering touchdowns of six and two yards. As is typically the case, Allen chipped in extra production on the ground, with a 19-yard scramble helping him top 50 rushing yards for the second time on the campaign. While it wasn't Allen's most prolific showing, he continues to deliver a very safe fantasy floor.
Elijah Moore Elijah Moore Inactive Sunday Sun, Oct 5, 2025, 6:16 PM Moore (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Patriots. Analysis: Moore will be a healthy scratch in Week 5, heading to the bench after failing to garner a target over 18 offensive snaps in the team's 31-19 win over the Saints in Week 4. The wide receiver has caught four of five targets for 64 yards, while also adding 25 yards and a score over five carries, through four games this season.
