James Cook James Cook Claws way to over 100 total yards
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 5:28 PM
Cook rushed 16 times for 48 yards and secured all three targets for 66 yards in the Bills' 44-32 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Cook unsurprisingly found running room at a premium against a stingy Buccaneers front, but he was able to salvage his fantasy day with his best work of the season as a receiver. The fourth-year pro contributed a 25-yard touchdown reception on his three catches, and he finished with a season-high receiving yardage total. The going doesn't get any easier for Cook in Week 12, however, as the Bills face a tough Texans defense on the road in a Thursday night matchup. |

Ty Johnson Ty Johnson Finds paydirt in Week 11
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 4:34 PM
Johnson recorded one carry for nine yards and caught both of his targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-32 win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Johnson didn't have the ball in his hands many times in Week 11, but he definitely made the most of his chances. Most significantly, the running back was able to a swing pass from Josh Allen into a 52-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Johnson has now reeled in multiple catches in three consecutive contests. He'll look to build off of his recent production when the Bills face the Texans on Thursday Night Football in Week 12. |

Tyrell Shavers Tyrell Shavers Makes most of added opportunities
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 4:13 PM
Shavers caught four of five targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Shavers was thrust into a more significant role with Keon Coleman (coach's decision) unavailable in Week 11, making the most of his opportunities. The wideout led the team in catches and receiving yards, most notably notching a 43-yard score in the second quarter. Shavers will likely see a drop in usage with the return of Coleman in Week 12, but it's possible that he's earned more snaps on offense moving forward. |

Josh Allen Josh Allen All-time performance in win
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 3:46 PM
Allen completed 19 of 30 passes for 317 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions while adding six carries for 40 yards and three more scores in the Bills' 44-32 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: As his final line implies, Allen was absolutely dominant in the wild high-scoring victory, one that saw him post his highest passing yardage total since Week 1 while scoring a career-high six touchdowns. Allen struck from 43 yards (Tyrell Shavers), 52 yards (Ty Johnson) and 25 yards (James Cook) through the air, while adding scoring runs of two, five and nine yards, the latter two providing the final points of the afternoon. Allen's mustered at least 273 passing yards in three straight contests heading into a tough Week 12 Thursday night matchup against a stingy Texans defense. |

Mecole Hardman Mecole Hardman Suffers calf injury vs. Bucs
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 2:47 PM
Hardman is out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 11 game against Tampa Bay due to a calf injury.
Analysis: Hardman was making his Bills debut after signing to the team's active roster Saturday. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran wideout saw one target, which he didn't catch. Hardman also returned one kickoff for 61 yards and returned one punt for zero yards. |

Elijah Moore Elijah Moore Inactive Sunday
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 10:50 AM
Moore is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: With Keon Coleman and Moore both being healthy scratches Sunday, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers, Curtis Samuel and Mecole Hardman will handle the Bills' Week 11 WR duties. |
|
Joshua Palmer Joshua Palmer Active Sunday
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 10:49 AM
Palmer (knee/ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: In his first game action since Week 6, Palmer -- who practiced fully this past week -- should have an opportunity to make his mark versus Tampa Bay, with fellow WR Keon Coleman (healthy scratch, second on the Bills with 49 targets) and TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, third on the team with 36 targets) both inactive. Prior to being sidelined, Palmer put up a 14/234/0 receiving line on 20 targets in six outings. |
|
Keon Coleman Keon Coleman Inactive Sunday
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 10:37 AM
Coleman is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Coleman is being made inactive Sunday because he missed a team meeting Friday. With Coleman -- who is second on the Bills with 49 targets through nine games -- a scratch Sunday, Joshua Palmer, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers, Curtis Samuel and Mecole Hardman are candidates to see added opportunities along with No. 1 wideout Khalil Shakir. Meanwhile, top tight endDalton Kincaid (hamstring) is also inactive, so Palmer could have a chance to claim a share of the targets that would normally go to Coleman and/or Kincaid in his first appearance since Week 6. |

Keon Coleman Keon Coleman Expected to be healthy scratch
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 9:19 AM
The Bills are expected to make Coleman a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, according to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.
Analysis: Buffalo's decision to elevate Gabe Davis from the practice squad and sign Mecole Hardman to the 53-man roster Saturday were indicators that the team was planning on shaking up its receiver personnel for Week 11, and Coleman looks like he'll be one of the odd men out. According to Schultz, Coleman's impending demotion isn't based on his performance, though the second-year wideout's underwhelming production in recent weeks -- as well as the return of Joshua Palmer from a three-game absence -- probably didn't help his case for retaining a regular role on offense. Since a standout Week 1 outing in which he recorded an 8-112-1 receiving line on 11 targets in a win over the Ravens, Coleman has averaged 3.0 catches, 27.3 yards and 4.8 targets over the Bills' subsequent eight contests. |

Gabe Davis Gabe Davis Elevated from practice squad
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 4:19 PM
The Bills elevated Davis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Davis was taken off the practice squad injured list in late October after recovering from a lingering knee injury, and the 2020 fourth-rounder is poised to suit up for Buffalo for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Given his connection with Josh Allen during four seasons with the Bills, Davis could be utilized in the offensive gameplan alongside Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer, especially in the absence of tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring). During the 2023 regular season with the Bills, Davis caught 45 passes (on 81 targets) for 746 yards and seven touchdowns across 17 games. |

Mecole Hardman Mecole Hardman Signed to Buffalo's active roster
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 4:15 PM
The Bills signed Hardman from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Hardman landed on the Bills' practice squad this past Monday, nearly two months after being let go by the Packers. He'll now be a member of Buffalo's active roster and will give the team another option as a returner on special teams and at wide receiver. Hardman appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Chiefs in 2024 and logged 12 catches (on 14 targets) for 90 yards along with five carries for 62 yards and a score. He also turned five kickoff returns into 132 yards and 20 punt returns into 203 yards. |

Khalil Shakir Khalil Shakir Slated to face Buccaneers
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 4:08 PM
After being limited in Wednesday and Thursday's practices, while in a red non-contact jersey as he contended with ankle and rib issues, Shakir sported a normal jersey as he worked fully Friday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Following his return to a full session Friday, Shakir doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest against Tampa Bay, a game in which the Bills will be missing top tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring), but are slated to welcome Joshua Palmer (knee/ankle) back to a WR corps that also features Keon Coleman. Through nine games to date, Shakir has made his fantasy mark by recording a 45/457/3 receiving line on 58 targets in that span. |

Khalil Shakir Khalil Shakir Set for Week 11
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 1:31 PM
Shakir (ankle/ribs) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Shakir opened Week 11 prep as limited Wednesday, and maintained that activity level one day later. The wideout proceeded to cap the week with a full session Friday, thereby clearing him for Sunday's contest. Shakir has recorded at least six catches in all three games since the team's Week 7 bye, accumulating a 20-189-1 line on 24 targets in the process. |

Khalil Shakir Khalil Shakir Trending in right direction
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 10:41 AM
Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Shakir (ankle/ribs) "is heading in the right direction and should be in a good spot" for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Shakir was limited at practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but the wide receiver is trending in the right direction ahead of Week 11 action, unlike tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring), who won't play this weekend. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Shakir is handed an injury designation or is fully cleared to face Tampa Bay. |

Dalton Kincaid Dalton Kincaid Ruled out for Sunday
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 10:33 AM
Coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Kincaid (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Kincaid thus will target a potential return to action this coming Thursday, when the Bills face the Texans on the road. In Kincaid's absence this weekend, Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes are slated to handle Buffalo's tight end duties versus Tampa Bay, a context that makes Knox a streaming option to consider Week 11. |

Dawson Knox Dawson Knox Chance to step up with Kincaid out
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 10:33 AM
Knox could take on a larger role Sunday against the Buccaneers, as Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports that Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) has been ruled out.
Analysis: Knox typically cedes the majority of pass-catching opportunities to Kincaid, but Kincaid's absence creates an opportunity for Knox and rookie firth-round pick Jackson Hawes to step up. In Kincaid's only previous absence of the season, Week 6 against the Falcons, Knox was targeted twice and scored a 19-yard touchdown on his only catch. |

Khalil Shakir Khalil Shakir Limited by ankle and ribs Thursday
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 2:44 PM
Shakir (ankle/ribs) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Shakir was listed as limited due to a rib injury Wednesday, and while his participation level didn't change Thursday, he's now dealing with an ankle injury in addition to the rib injury that limited Shakir on Wednesday. Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, Shakir sported a red non-contact jersey Thursday. Shakir could wind up carrying a questionable designation into Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, but it would be an encouraging sign if he sheds the non-contact jersey Friday. |

Dalton Kincaid Dalton Kincaid Not seen at practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 12:32 PM
Kincaid (hamstring) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With back-to-back 'DNPs' looming, Kincaid's status for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers looks cloudy at this stage. If Kincaid ends up ruled out for the contest come Friday, fellow tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes would be on track to see added snaps and targets this weekend. |

Elijah Moore Elijah Moore Makes two catches in loss to Miami
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 3:13 PM
Moore secured both of his targets for nine yards during Buffalo's loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.
Analysis: Moore continues to handle a depth gig in Buffalo's pass-catching corps, and he figures to reprise a similar role at home against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Across three regular-season appearances since the Bills' bye, Moore has tallied four grabs for 51 yards on seven targets. |
|
Curtis Samuel Curtis Samuel Secures only target in Week 10 loss
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 2:50 PM
Samuel secured his only target for 21 yards during Buffalo's loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.
Analysis: Samuel has now logged a total of five catches (on six targets) for 62 yards and one touchdown across five regular-season appearances. He figures to continue contributing as a depth option within the Bills' wide receiver corps at home against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Aside from the deepest of formats, Samuel can safely be left off the fantasy radar as managers make lineup decision for Week 11. |
