Joshua Palmer Joshua Palmer Paces team with 47 receiving yards
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 5:51 PM
Palmer caught two of three targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Most of Palmer's production came on a 32-yard reception from Mitchell Trubisky, who came in for a pair of plays in the first quarter as Josh Allen tended to a nosebleed and again for mop-up duty down the stretch. Despite taking a step back from his five-catch, 61-yard Bills debut, Palmer led the team in receiving yards in Week 2, as Buffalo went with a much more run-heavy approach. Palmer has established himself as a top-three wide receiver on the team alongside Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir heading into Thursday's home game against the Dolphins. |

Dalton Kincaid Dalton Kincaid Another four-catch outing
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 5:49 PM
Kincaid caught four of six targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Kincaid led the Bills in targets and receiving yards as the passing attack took a back seat to the running game, which produced 224 yards and three touchdowns. The 2023 first-round pick has opened his third NFL campaign with a pair of four-catch performances and should remain involved in Thursday's Week 3 home game against the Dolphins. |

Khalil Shakir Khalil Shakir Struggles against Jets continue
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 5:48 PM
Shakir caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Shakir has struggled against a Jets defense with a strong secondary and plenty of weaknesses elsewhere, exceeding 25 receiving yards only once in seven career matchups in the AFC East rivalry. Buffalo's 2024 leader in receiving yards has a nice opportunity to bounce back Thursday against a Dolphins defense that is allowing 33 points per game. |

Keon Coleman Keon Coleman Held in check by Jets
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 5:47 PM
Coleman caught all three of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Coleman came back down to earth after recording 112 receiving yards and a touchdown in the season opener, as all three of Buffalo's Week 2 touchdowns came on the ground. The Bills will likely continue to spread the ball around, but the 2024 second-round pick leads the team with 14 targets and 138 receiving yards heading into Thursday's home game against a Dolphins defense that has allowed 33 points to each of its first two opponents. |

Josh Allen Josh Allen Takes back seat in Week 2 win
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 3:52 PM
Allen completed 14 of 25 passes for 148 yards and rushed six times for 59 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Allen came out for the final two plays of the first quarter but returned to start the second quarter with gauze in his nose. After putting the team on his back in Week 1 against the Ravens, Allen let his defense and running game do most of the work in this one before resting for the final two possessions as backup Mitchell Trubisky mopped up. With the Bills averaging 36.0 points per game heading into Thursday's home game against the Dolphins, Allen's ceiling remains sky-high, even if he doesn't always have to bring his A-game to win. |

James Cook James Cook Two TDs in Week 2 win
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 3:46 PM
Cook rushed 21 times for 132 yards and two touchdowns while catching his only target for three yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Cook once again operated as the clear lead back, as Ray Davis and Ty Johnson combined for just 30 scrimmage yards, with most of the backups' opportunities coming after the game was well in hand. Buffalo capitalized on a drive-extending roughing the passer penalty to open the scoring with a one-yard Cook rushing touchdown, and he added a 44-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to extend the lead to 20-0. Cook's versatile skill set allows him to stay heavily involved regardless of game script, and he has three total touchdowns heading into Thursday's Week 3 home game against the 0-2 Dolphins after racking up 18 scrimmage TDs in the 2024 regular season. |

Curtis Samuel Curtis Samuel Inactive again
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 10:50 AM
Samuel (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Samuel was also a healthy scratch in Week 1, so it may take an injury to a fellow WR to get him back on Buffalo's game-day roster. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore and Tyrell Shavers are the Bills' available wide receivers versus the Jets. |

James Cook James Cook Set for Week 2 action
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 1:45 PM
Cook (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at the Jets.
Analysis: Cook was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring issue, but a full walkthrough Thursday and uncapped session Friday has cleared him to handle his typical role as the Bills' No. 1 running back. In a season-opening win against the Ravens, he earned 56 percent of the offensive snaps and turned 18 touches into 102 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD, while reserve RBs Ray Davis and Ty Johnson combined for four touches for 25 total yards. |
|
Dawson Knox Dawson Knox Clear for Week 2
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 1:32 PM
Knox (hip) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at the Jets.
Analysis: The Bills limited Knox's activity level at Wednesday's practice and Thursday's walkthrough due to a hip injury, but a return to all activity Friday sets him up to be available for a Week 2 AFC East matchup. Knox earned a 57 percent snap share during this past Sunday's win against the Ravens on his way to a 2-20-0 line on two targets, while fellow TE Dalton Kincaid played 50 percent of the offensive snaps and hauled in all four of his targets for 48 yards and one touchdown. |

Dawson Knox Dawson Knox Listed as limited again
Thu, Sep 11, 2025, 12:35 PM
Knox (hip) is listed as limited on Thursday's injury report.
Analysis: The Bills only hosted a walk-thru practice Thursday, but Knox is being listed as limited for a second consecutive session. If he's unable to upgrade to full participation Friday, Knox will likely carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup against the Jets. |
|
James Cook James Cook Full participant Thursday
Thu, Sep 11, 2025, 12:33 PM
Cook (hamstring) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's walk-through.
Analysis: Cook was limited by a hamstring injury Wednesday, but Thursday's full participation listing suggests he isn't in any danger of sitting out against the Jets in Week 2. In the Bills' season-opening win over Baltimore, Cook turned 18 touches into 102 scrimmage yards and a touchdown while Ray Davis and Ty Johnson combined for 25 yards on four touches. |

James Cook James Cook Logs limited practice
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 2:34 PM
Cook (hamstring) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: In the Bills' 41-40 win over the Ravens in Week 1, Cook logged 48 of a possible 85 snaps on offense en route to carrying 13 times for 44 yards and a TD while catching all five of his targets for 58 yards. It's unclear if his hamstring issue stems from Buffalo's season opener or is the result of something that occurred Wednesday. Either way, Cook -- who is backed up by Ray Davis and Ty Johnson -- has two more chances to work fully ahead of Sunday's contest against the Jets. |
|
Dawson Knox Dawson Knox Limited in practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 2:30 PM
Knox (hip) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Knox played 57 percent of offensive snaps during Buffalo's 41-40 win over the Ravens in Week 1, securing both of his targets for 20 yards. He ran just 17 routes, though, while starting tight end Dalton Kincaid ran 28 routes and brought in all of his targets for a 4-48-1 receiving line. Knox will figure to handle a similar complementary role behind Kincaid if he's able to gain clearance in time for Sunday's road matchup against the Jets. |

Ty Johnson Ty Johnson Handles two carries in opener
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 8:30 AM
Johnson rushed twice for 24 yards and failed to secure either of his two targets in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Johnson's minimal production came on a day in which he handled 28 of the Bills' 85 offensive snaps, the second-most snaps at running back behind starter James Cook (48) and ahead of Ray Davis (10). The 27-year-old could have some good days on the stat sheet as a rotational player on one of the league's best offenses, but his limited usage will make those performances both inconsistent and hard to predict. Barring injury, Cook is the fantasy star in Buffalo's backfield, with both Johnson and Davis holding value as insurance policies. Johnson and the Bills are set to square off against the Jets in Week 2. |
|
Elijah Moore Elijah Moore Minimal production against Ravens
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 7:59 AM
Moore caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Moore was not a significant part of the Bills' offensive game plan in Week 1. The veteran played just 12 offensive snaps in the contest, the fewest of any wideout who saw action Sunday. Currently sitting at fourth on the wide receiver depth chart behind Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer, Moore faces an uphill battle for playing time this season. The 25-year-old should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Jets. |

Joshua Palmer Joshua Palmer Records five catches in win
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 7:29 AM
Palmer caught five of nine targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Palmer played a solid 62 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps Sunday while operating as Buffalo's No. 3 wide receiver behind Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir, who finished with snap percentages of 88 and 75 percent, respectively. Additionally, the veteran wideout's nine targets were tied for the second-highest total among all Bills pass catchers. Though he may be an inconsistent producer based on his role in an offense flush with playmakers, Palmer proved that he is a trusted target of Josh Allen in his regular season debut with Buffalo. Palmer will look to build upon his performance when the Bills visit the Jets in Week 2. |

Dawson Knox Dawson Knox Two catches against Ravens
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 7:11 AM
Knox caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Knox led all Bills tight ends in offensive snaps, but, as expected, it was teammate Dalton Kincaid who played a bigger role in Buffalo's passing attack. Knox wasn't able to get much going, while Kincaid caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown. Going forward, the veteran should expect similar usage, capping Knox's overall fantasy value. The 28-year-old should be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Jets. |

Ray Davis Ray Davis Limited role in season opener
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 6:27 AM
Davis rushed once for two yards and reeled in his lone target for minus-one yard in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Davis played just 10 of the Bills' 85 offensive snaps Sunday, behind starter James Cook (48) and Ty Johnson (28). With so many playmakers in Buffalo, the second-year running back should continue to struggle to earn meaningful touches out of the backfield barring an injury to Cook. With that said, Davis remains a high-value insurance policy for fantasy purposes. The 25-year-old will have his next opportunity to get involved when the Bills visit the Jets in Week 2. |

Dalton Kincaid Dalton Kincaid Gets scoring started in wild win
Sun, Sep 7, 2025, 11:08 PM
Kincaid caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Kincaid scored a 15-yard touchdown on the opening drive but was relatively quiet the rest of the way, especially considering Josh Allen ultimately threw for 394 yards. This was nonetheless an encouraging performance from Kincaid, who had only two regular-season touchdowns apiece in the 2023 and 2024 campaigns. Dawson Knox had two catches for 20 yards and rookie fifth-round pick Jackson Hawes also had a 29-yard catch, but Kincaid clearly looks like the top receiving option among Buffalo's tight ends heading into Week 2 against the Jets. |
|
Khalil Shakir Khalil Shakir Six catches in Week 1 win
Sun, Sep 7, 2025, 11:07 PM
Shakir caught six of nine targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Shakir showed no ill effects from the high-ankle sprain that sidelined him during training camp, as he finished second on the team in targets, catches and receiving yards behind Keon Coleman, who had 112 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. Shakir led the Bills in all three categories last season, but the emergence of Coleman and addition of Joshua Palmer in the offseason gives Shakir more competition for attention from Josh Allen heading into a Week 2 road game against the Jets. |
