Amari Cooper
Amari Cooper Week 11 status TBD
Mon, Nov 11, 2024, 5:15 PM
Head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Cooper (wrist) is improving, and the Bills will see how this week goes before determining the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: While Cooper's Week 11 status is to be determined, McDermott has already confirmed that Keon Coleman (wrist) won't be available this weekend. Cooper has missed two straight games, and if the Bills elect to hold him out versus Kansas City, the wideout's next chance to play wouldn't arrive until Sunday, Dec. 1against the 49ers, with the Bills on bye Week 12.
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman Won't be available Sunday
Mon, Nov 11, 2024, 3:28 PM
Head coach Sean McDermott noted Monday that Coleman (wrist) won't play Sunday against the Chiefs, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: McDermott acknowledged to Alec White of the team's official site this past Friday that Coleman could miss time beyond Week 10, and now that the wideout has been been deemed out for Sunday's contest, his next chance to see game action will occur Sunday, Dec. 1 against the 49ers, following Buffalo's Week 12 bye. With the Week 11 availability of Amari Cooper (wrist) yet to be determined, per Glab, the team's top healthy options at wide receiver currently are Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins.
Dawson Knox
Dawson Knox Records chunk gain in Sunday's win
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 6:48 PM
Knox brought in two of three targets for 40 yards in the Bills' 30-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid suffered a knee injury of unknown severity in the second half of Sunday's game, so Knox could be set for a bigger role in the short term. Sunday, he contributed a season-long 34-yard grab on his way to his second-highest yardage total of the season. Knox could play a key role in the air attack in a Week 11 home showdown against the Chiefs if Kincaid is sidelined for the contest.
Mack Hollins
Mack Hollins Makes impact in win
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 6:42 PM
Hollins brought in all four targets for 86 yards in the Bills' 30-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Hollins recorded a team- and personal season-high yardage total. The veteran logged a game-high 44-yard catch as well, and he's now posted a 9-116-1 line on nine targets over the last two games. Hollins benefitted from the absences of both Keon Coleman and Amari Cooper due to wrist injuries Sunday, but he does appear to have burgeoning chemistry with Josh Allen heading into a Week 11 home showdown against the Chiefs.
Khalil Shakir
Khalil Shakir Busiest pass catcher in win
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 6:05 PM
Shakir brought in six of nine targets for 58 yards in the Bills' 30-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Shakir recorded team-high reception and target numbers while checking in second in receiving yards. Shakir primarily works in a short-area role but did log a 30-yard catch Sunday, and he now has at least six receptions in four consecutive contests. Shakir will look to record his first touchdown catch since Week 3 in a Week 11 home showdown against the Chiefs.
Dalton Kincaid
Dalton Kincaid Dealing with knee issue
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 4:50 PM
Following Sunday's 30-20 win over the Colts, Kincaid addressed his brief attempt to return to action after suffering a knee injury earlier in the contest, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. "Thought I could go and just didn't feel good enough to run and be able to go out there and protect myself," the tight end noted.
Analysis: In any case, Kincaid, who finished up the game with two catches on five targets for 24 yards, figures to get his knee checked out ahead of Week 11 action. For now, however, consider the tight end day-to-day in advance of next Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
James Cook
James Cook Strong rushing day in win
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 4:19 PM
Cook rushed 19 times for 80 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of three targets for five yards in the Bills' 30-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Cook worked hard for his yards Sunday, considering 20 of them came on one carry. However, that explosive play and his two-yard game-sealing touchdown run with just over three minutes remaining helped round out his fantasy day, and he now has four rushing scores in the last four games. While he surprisingly was quiet in the passing game despite the Bills being down multiple targets Sunday, Cook should remain busy as both a runner and receiver in a Week 11 home showdown against the Chiefs.
Josh Allen
Josh Allen Posts 330 total yards in win
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 4:14 PM
Allen completed 22 of 37 passes for 280 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions and added eight carries for 50 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 30-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Allen helped lead the Bills to 20 first-half points despite having one drive end on downs and a second on an interception, contributing a 13-yard scoring run late in the first half. The multi-threat signal-caller was playing short-handed considering both Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman were sidelined with wrist injuries and Dalton Kincaid exited the game with a knee injury as well. However, Allen still connected with seven different targets on his way to a third tally of at least 280 passing yards in the last four contests. Allen did see his four-game streak of multiple touchdown passes snapped, but he'll nevertheless head into a Week 11 home showdown against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs with plenty of momentum.
Dalton Kincaid
Dalton Kincaid Doubtful to return Sunday
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 2:30 PM
Kincaid is considered doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to a knee injury.
Analysis: After having previously exited the contest, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com relays that Kincaid returned for two snaps in the third quarter, but evidently the tight end hasn't shaken his knee issue. In his absence, Dawson Knox and Quintin Morris are available to handle Buffalo's TE duties.
Dalton Kincaid
Dalton Kincaid Returns to Sunday's game
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 2:13 PM
Kincaid (knee) returned to Sunday's game against the Colts, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Kincaid had been forced out of the contest after sustaining a knee injury, but he's back on the field to bolster the Bills' tight end corps for the rest of the team's Week 10 matchup against Indianapolis.
Dalton Kincaid
Dalton Kincaid Exits Sunday's game
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 1:22 PM
Kincaid exited Sunday's game against the Colts after sustaining a knee injury.
Analysis: Prior to his departure, Kincaid had caught two of his four targets for 24 yards. While he's sidelined, Dawson Knox and Quintin Morris are next up for the Bills' tight end snaps.
KJ Hamler
KJ Hamler Won't play in Week 10
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 10:43 AM
Hamler (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Colts.
Analysis: Hamler was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, but he won't play Sunday despite the fact that both Keon Coleman (wrist) and Amari Cooper (wrist) will be sidelined. Buffalo also elevated Tyrell Shavers on Saturday and signed Jalen Virgil to the active roster Friday, and both wideouts will be active for Sunday's matchup. Hamler hasn't yet been active for a game this season and hasn't logged an NFL snap since 2022, when he was with Denver.
Reggie Gilliam
Reggie Gilliam Won't play Week 10
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 10:37 AM
Gilliam (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Gilliam has been limited in practice all week due to a hip injury, and the issue is serious enough for the 27-year-old fullback to be sidelined for a second straight game. With Gilliam sidelined Sunday, the Bills may utilize tight ends Dawson Knox and Quintin Morris more in run-blocking schemes.
Amari Cooper
Amari Cooper Inactive Sunday
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 10:34 AM
Cooper (wrist) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Since the Bills began their Week 9 prep, Cooper -- who was also inactive last weekend -- has logged six straight limited practices. With his second straight absence confirmed and Keon Coleman (wrist) having been previously ruled out, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel are in line to lead Buffalo's Week 10 wideout corps, with Jalen Virgil and Tyrell Shavers also available to mix in. Cooper's next chance to see game action will arrive Nov. 17 against the Chiefs.
Amari Cooper
Amari Cooper Not slated to play Sunday
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 10:21 AM
Cooper (wrist) is not in line to play Sunday against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Cooper is listed as questionable for the contest after practicing in a limited fashion this week. Official confirmation of his Week 10 status will arrive once the Bills' inactives are posted, but per Schefter, the wideout is slated to miss his second straight game.
KJ Hamler
KJ Hamler Elevated ahead of trip to Indy
Sat, Nov 9, 2024, 10:43 PM
Hamler was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Chris Jenkins of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: With Keon Coleman (wrist) ruled out for Sunday and Amari Cooper a question mark due to a wrist injury of his own, the Bills have now brought up three receivers -- Hamler, Jalen Virgil and Tyrell Shavers -- as reinforcements for Sunday's game at Indianapolis. While veterans Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel would all pick up the slack if Cooper sits out a second straight game, there's a very real chance a Cooper absence would result in one of the aforementioned three call-ups seeing meaningful action during the game against the Colts.
Jalen Virgil
Jalen Virgil Signs to active roster
Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 3:41 PM
Virgil was signed to the Bills' active roster Friday.
Analysis: Virgil has been with the Bills' active roster in each of their last two games, failing to record a stat while playing 32 total snaps (14 offensive and 18 on special teams). He's expected to serve as a depth piece in Buffalo's wide receiver room while also contributing on special teams in the Week 10 matchup against the Colts.
Curtis Samuel
Curtis Samuel Ready for Sunday
Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 1:40 PM
Samuel (pectoral) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at Indianapolis.
Analysis: Samuel sat out Week 8 in Seattle due to a pectoral injury, but he was able to suit up this past Sunday versus the Dolphins, when he failed to haul in his only target, Despite being limited in all three Week 10 practices, he'll be available Sunday along with Khalil Shakir and Mack Hollins (shoulder). Meanwhile, Keon Coleman (wrist) has been ruled out, and Amari Cooper (wrist) is listed as questionable.
Mack Hollins
Mack Hollins Clear for Week 10
Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 1:36 PM
Hollins (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Indianapolis.
Analysis: Hollins has been managing a shoulder injury for the past five weeks, but he's suited up on the previous four occasions en route to a 6-38-2 line on eight targets during that stretch. The Bills ruled out Keon Coleman (wrist) for Week 10, and Amari Cooper (wrist) is listed as questionable, leaving Khalil Shakir, Hollins and Curtis Samuel (pectoral) as the healthy wide receivers on the Bills' active roster.
Amari Cooper
Amari Cooper Questionable for Week 10
Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 1:29 PM
Cooper (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.
Analysis: Cooper followed the exact same practice regimen for a second week in a row -- he was limited on all three reports due to a wrist injury en route to a questionable designation. He subsequently was held out of this past Sunday's win against the Dolphins, so his status truly is up in the air for Week 10 action. With Keon Coleman (wrist) ruled out, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins (shoulder) and Curtis Samuel (pectoral) are the healthy wide receivers on the Bills' active roster.
