Bills WR D.J. Moore (shoulder) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Rams. With WR Josh Palmer also out, Buffalo is down to WRs Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Skyler Bell, Greg Dortch, and Trent Sherfield.

Bills WR D.J. Moore (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Rams. He returned to a limited practice on Saturday after sitting out the previous two days. Moore aggravated his Week 2 shoulder injury in last Sunday's loss to the Patriots, playing just 23 snaps. He seemingly has a chance to play on Monday, but that late kickoff leaves fantasy owners in a tough spot. WR Josh Palmer has been ruled out after hurting his shoulder in practice this week, eliminating a potential emergency option for owners hoping to start Moore. Rookie WR Skyler Bell will make his debut vs. the Rams, HC Joe Brady said Saturday, joining Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Greg Dortch as Buffalo's healthy WRs. We'll see if we get an update on Moore tomorrow morning.

Bills WR D.J. Moore sprained his left shoulder in the Week 2 win over the Lions. But he started Sunday's game and finished with team leads in targets (10), receptions (6), and receiving yards (67). All that came on a day that challenged Buffalo's passing game. Only one other Bill caught more than two balls (Ty Johnson, four). Moore's 10 targets beat his nearest teammate by six (Johnson).

Bills WR Khalil Shakir has recently missed practice time with an undisclosed injury, though the issue hasn’t been widely reported, per Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. The Bills are reportedly being cautious and are optimistic he’ll be available for the season opener against the Texans.

ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg reports that WR D.J. Moore has enjoyed a strong start to his first training camp with the Bills. Moore reportedly made "highlight catches" on each of the first two days and looks like the lead receiver.

The Buffalo Bills selected UConn WR Skyler Bell in Round 4 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Bell caught 69 passes for 756 yards and 6 TDs across three seasons at Wisconsin before transferring to UConn in 2024. There, he became the program’s first consensus first-team All-American in 2025. He ranked fourth nationally in receptions, second in yards, and tied for third in TD catches. Bell offers inside-outside flexibility, running 39.1% of his collegiate routes from the slot. He also ranked eighth among qualifying WRs with 3.14 yards per route. At 6’0, 192 pounds, Bell aced the NFL Combine with a 4.40 forty-yard dash, a 41-inch vertical, and an 11-foot, 1-inch broad jump.

Bills WR Khalil Shakir is recovering from offseason ankle surgery, GM Brandon Beane said Monday. Shakir did "some things" on the team's first day of offseason activities, Beane added, so it doesn't sound like this will have any impact on his 2026 campaign.

Bills HC Joe Brady talked up a bigger and more diverse role for WR Khalil Shakir. "I think Khalil Shakir can play inside and outside," Brady said from the Combine. "There’s really not a lot of things that Khalil can’t do. There’s definitely ways to get the ball into his hands in different ways, and we have to continue to grow his game because he’s such a huge component to our offense. He’s one of our best football players, and when the ball is in his hand, good things are happening."

The Bills are hiring Pete Carmichael as OC, according to multiple reports. Carmichael spent 19 of the last 20 seasons with Sean Payton, first in New Orleans and then in Denver the past two. Bills HC Joe Brady worked under Carmichael as an offensive assistant with the Saints in 2017 and 2018. Brady has already said that he'll continue to call plays in 2026, but we'll see how much Payton flavor Carmichael brings to the offense. Former QB Chase Daniel, who played for the Saints in 2017, expects more play-action passing from the Bills going forward. QB Josh Allen already ranked fifth among 45 qualifying QBs in percentage of dropbacks to feature play action last year. Allen completed 71.7% of his passes at 8.2 yards per attempt off play action, ranking ninth and 15th among those 45 QBs.

Bills WR Brandin Cooks tallied a game-high 101 yards on 4 catches in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. His six targets ranked second on the team and doubled his previous high through four games with the Bills. Cooks saw his largest playing-time share since arriving in Buffalo but remained in a heavy WR rotation.

Bills WRs Keon Coleman and Gabe Davis are healthy scratches for today’s game vs. the Browns. WRs Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer, Brandin Cooks, Tyrrell Shavers, and Mecole Hardman are active for Buffalo. Shakir is the only viable fantasy play from the group, and even he’s a shaky start in what figures to be a run-heavy game from the Bills.

Bills WR Keon Coleman was active against the Steelers after two straight games as a healthy scratch. He went 2-9-1 with the TD coming on a fourth and goal in the back of the end zone. He ranked fourth among WRs on the team with 33 snaps on a run-heavy game for Buffalo.

Bills WR Josh Palmer (ankle) is inactive for today's game vs. the Steelers. WR Keon Coleman is back in the lineup, alongside WRs Khalil Shakir, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers, and Brandin Cooks. Shakir is the only viable fantasy play here.

Bills WR Khalil Shakir caught eight of 10 targets for a season-high 110 yards in Thursday night's loss to the Texans. It was a strong bounce back from Week 11, when he finished with negative-three yards on one catch. As usual, most of Shakir's work came near the line of scrimmage vs. Houston. But he made two big plays in key moments. The first came on a swing pass off jet motion on a third-and-12 in the fourth quarter. Shakir caught the short pass and shook two Texans defenders for a 44-yard gain. Then, facing a fourth-and-22 late in the fourth, the Bills called and perfectly executed a hook-and-ladder. WR Josh Palmer caught the ball 11 yards downfield and pitched to Shakir, who picked up another 33 yards to get the first down. Shakir does not get credit for a catch on that play, but does get the 33 receiving yards.

Bills WR Keon Coleman is a healthy scratch for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Buffalo planned on Coleman playing this week, but that changed when he was late to meetings on Friday morning. WR Gabe Davis is active for Buffalo and could play a significant role in this one. But Khalil Shakir is the only Bills WR that can be trusted in fantasy lineups.

The forecast for today's Buccaneers-Bills game calls for sustained winds around 20 mph with gusts up to 35. There's a chance for a rain/snow mix, but the wind is the concern here. The over/under on this game has dropped from 48.5 on Thursday to 46.5. We're docking the passing projections on both sides and would avoid the kickers.

The Bills elevated WRs Gabe Davis and Mecole Hardman from the practice squad. Davis re-signed with Buffalo at the beginning of September after spending his first four NFL seasons with the team. Hardman joined the Bills' practice squad earlier this week. We wouldn't go rushing to add either guy to fantasy rosters -- and neither should be anywhere near starting lineups. But we're curious to see where these guys fit in the pecking order. Davis, in particular, adds some risk to WR Keon Coleman's fantasy outlook. Khalil Shakir is the only Bills WR that should be in Week 11 fantasy lineups.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid posted 100+ yards for the second time over his past three games. Kincaid hit 101 yards vs. the Chiefs, catching all 6 targets while scoring on Josh Allen's only passing TD.

Bills QB Josh Allen delivered a strong performance in Sunday’s win over New Orleans. The 29-year-old threw for 209 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT, adding 45 yards and 1 score on the ground. Allen completed 72.7% of his passes.

Second-year Bills WR Keon Coleman broke out against the Ravens, catching eight of 11 targets for 112 yards and a TD. He led the team in targets, with Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer next at nine apiece. Coleman also paced the WRs with an 88.2% snap rate.
