Bills | Joe Brady says 'hope and intent' is for DJ Moore to return after bye Mon Oct 19, 03:20 PM
Bills head coach Joe Brady said on Monday that "the hope and intent" is for WR DJ Moore (shoulder) to be back next week, following Buffalo's bye. Moore was inactive for Sunday's win over the Raiders.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today suggested, outside of a stellar opener against the Texans in Week 1, we haven't really been able to see Moore fully unleashed in the Bills' offense. That's because the shoulder injury he suffered in Week 2 has almost certainly affected Moore's effectiveness (if not outright availability) ever since. Still, the Bills head into their bye sitting at 5-1. If resting Moore for two full weeks before the off week gets him closer to full health, it will have been worth it. |

Bills | C.J. Gardner-Johnson suspended one game for spitting at Brock Bowers Mon Oct 19, 02:57 PM
The NFL has suspended Bills S C.J. Gardner-Johnson one game, and he can appeal. Gardner-Johnson was ejected late in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Raiders for spitting at Raiders TE Brock Bowers, and the penalty on the play helped set up a Raiders field goal. Gardner-Johnson apologized for the incident.

Bills | Dalton Kincaid leaves with rib injury, returns in fourth quarter Sun Oct 18, 07:37 PM
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid left Sunday's 33-30 win over the Raiders with a rib injury but returned in the fourth quarter. Kincaid earlier appeared to catch a touchdown from QB Josh Allen, but it was called back on a holding penalty.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid caught seven passes for 38 yards in Vegas. His team-high eight targets were a welcome development after a three-week stretch where the tight end saw just seven combined targets. The Bills are off in Week 7 and return to play the Ravens in Week 8. |

Bills | DJ Moore inactive vs. Raiders, 'getting closer but needs a little more time' Sun Oct 18, 02:52 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders, missing his second straight game with a shoulder injury. Moore is "getting closer but needs a little more time." With the Bills on a Week 7 bye, the hope is he will be closer to 100% coming out of it. TE Dalton Kincaid, WR Keon Coleman and WR Khalil Shakir will be in the spotlight as Buffalo's receiving trio on Sunday.

Bills | Joshua Palmer going through warmups, 'looks like he'll be back' Sun Oct 18, 02:42 PM
Bills WR Joshua Palmer (shoulder), listed as questionable, was going through pregame warmups on Sunday ahead of the game at the Raiders, so it "looks like he'll be back this week." Palmer missed last week's game. WR DJ Moore (shoulder) was not taking reps during warmups for a second straight week, and it is "looking extremely possible" he sits again.

Bills | DJ Moore not doing much in warmups, 'extremely possible' he sits again Sun Oct 18, 02:40 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore (shoulder) was not doing much during pregame warmups on Sunday ahead of the Week 6 game at the Raiders, the second straight week that has been the case. Moore had no gloves on and his hood up while the rest of Buffalo's receivers ran routes against air, and he took no reps. It is "looking extremely possible" that Moore misses another game. He is officially questionable with a shoulder injury.

Bills | DJ Moore in non-contact jersey Friday, 'exact cadence' as week he sat Fri Oct 16, 04:30 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore (shoulder) practiced in a non-contact jersey on Friday at UC Irvine. It is "the exact cadence of practices as last week for Moore, and he wound up sitting." Moore was ruled out for Monday night's game against the Rams. Every member of the Bills' roster, both 53-man and practice squad, was on the field in some capacity on Friday.
| Footballguys view: The Bills have a bye next week, and all signs point to Moore getting another week of rest after breaking his five-year Ironman streak last week. He'll be in the conversation as a high-end WR2 when he returns, and Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir, and Keon Coleman are all boom-or-bust starts while he's out. If he somehow plays this week, the risk of reinjury will be high, putting him in WR3 territory. |

Bills | DJ Moore not on field for start of Thursday practice Thu Oct 15, 05:43 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore was not on the field during the media-open start to practice on Thursday. Moore, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, was an estimated non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through after being ruled out for Monday night's game against the Rams.
| Footballguys view: Moore seems to be on track to miss Week 6 against the Raiders. That means the Bills will turn to guys like Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Skyler Bell. Shakir led the Bills with 80 yards receiving on Monday night against the Rams. |

Bills WR Joshua Palmer (shoulder) was listed as an estimated limited participant on Wednesday after the team held only a walk-through.

Bills WR DJ Moore was listed as an estimated non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through. Five other Bills players were estimated as limited on Wednesday's injury report.
| Footballguys view: Moore was ruled out for Monday night's game against the Rams with a shoulder injury. Being a non-participant in a walk-through on Wednesday puts him on the wrong side of questionable. Let's see if Moore can at least be limited in Friday's practice at the latest, as the team prepares for a Sunday afternoon game against the Raiders. |

Bills | Cook runs for 111 yards, two TDs in win over Rams Tue Oct 13, 12:10 AM
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook III ran 25 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns, also caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 1 target and lost 1 fumble in Monday's 37-34 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 15.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.3.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today suggested, Cook "looked electric at times" on Monday night, breaking some long runs to go with the two touchdowns. He continued to have issues with ball security, but the Bills will apparently live with that. They never went away from him in Los Angeles, and the result was an RB4 overall finish. |

Bills | Allen throws for 210 yards, a touchdown in win over Rams Tue Oct 13, 12:02 AM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen completed 12 of 19 passes for 210 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception and added 10 carries for 121 yards and another touchdown in Monday's 37-34 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 22.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 29.5.
| Footballguys view: With DJ Moore and Joshua Palmer ruled out with shoulder injuries, the Bills passing attack was muzzled for most of the game. This wasn't much of a surprise. The same sort of thing happened in the second halves against Detroit and New England without Moore. Still, with Allen's receivers consistently unable to pop open downfield, the quarterback incorporated more scrambles into his repertoire than he has since Week 2. Allen ranked third among all Week 5 QBs. |

Skyler Bell to make NFL debut, take reps with Joshua Palmer ruled out Sat Oct 10, 02:07 PM
Bills rookie WR Skyler Bell will be active and "play a role" in his NFL debut Monday night against the Rams, head coach Joe Brady said on Saturday. Bell, a fourth-round pick, is expected to play many of WR Joshua Palmer's snaps, and possibly more if WR DJ Moore (shoulder) cannot play. Palmer has been ruled out after he "twisted up" in practice and is undergoing imaging.
| Footballguys view: Bell dealt with a groin injury for most of August, and now he's set to make his regular-season debut. The Bills' fourth-round rookie did flash briefly in the preseason (mainly on crossing routes), so we're excited to see him out there for the first time when the games count. He set records in college at UConn, and Bell's game is all about run-after-the-catch ability. We love him in dynasty formats, and now redraft GMs need to keep him on waiver-wire speed dial just in case he pops. |

Bills | DJ Moore questionable for Monday night at Rams Sat Oct 10, 01:56 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore is questionable for Monday's game against the Rams. Moore has a shoulder injury; he missed practice Thursday and Friday before returning to the practice field on Saturday.
| Footballguys view: Moore was on the practice field at the start of Saturday's session, and he was wearing a red non-contact jersey. We'll see if the limited session is enough to get him ready for a huge game against the Rams on Monday night. Fantasy GMs should have other plans ready just in case. With the game being the finale of Week 5, you're likely to be starting somebody else since Moore seems to be on the wrong side of questionable. |

Bills | DJ Moore misses practice again Friday Fri Oct 9, 02:31 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore did not practice on Friday, the same as Thursday. Moore has a shoulder injury. The Bills visit the Rams on Monday night.
| Footballguys view: Moore will have another chance to practice on Saturday, but he likely won't play this week after aggravating his AC joint sprain. With Moore likely to be out, Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, and Dalton Kincaid should all see increased usage. In what could be a high-scoring game against the Rams, all three are in consideration as starters. |

Bills | Josh Allen not blaming knee injury for drop in scrambling production Thu Oct 8, 06:50 PM
Bills QB Josh Allen addressed speculation about a knee injury after Thursday's practice and is not blaming his recent lack of scrambling production on an injury. Allen has 13 carries for 26 yards combined over the last two games against the Chargers and Patriots, including five carries for four yards in Sunday's Week 4 loss to New England, and appeared to pass up clear scrambling opportunities in both games.
| Footballguys view: Speculation had swirled that Allen injured his knee in the fourth quarter of the Week 3 win over the Chargers. In the first two games of the season, Allen ran 20 times for 92 yards and four touchdowns. We'll see if Allen can get back to his running ways in the near future. |

Bills WR DJ Moore arrived at practice on Thursday to watch wide receiver drills from the sidelines. Moore wore a practice jersey but no helmet or other gear and was a non-participant. Head coach Joe Brady offered no specific update on Moore on Thursday but said he'll try "to be able to rock this week." The Bills play at the Rams on Monday night.

Bills | No specific update on DJ Moore, but Brady says he'll try 'to be able to rock this week' Thu Oct 8, 01:47 PM
There was no specific update on Bills WR DJ Moore on Thursday. Head coach Joe Brady said Moore is "going to be able to do everything he can to be able to rock this week." Moore suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's loss to the Patriots that was not believed to be a long-term issue.
| Footballguys view: The Bills play on Monday night against the Rams in what some are calling a Super Bowl preview. Moore has time to get right, even though he didn't participate in Thursday's practice. Saturday is the big day, which should give us clues as to whether or not Moore is going to play. Stay tuned. |

Bills | Coleman catches 6 passes for 116 yards, a touchdown in loss to Patriots Sun Oct 4, 04:16 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman caught 6 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown on 7 targets in Sunday's 29-26 loss to the New England Patriots. He was projected for 4.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.6.
| Footballguys view: Coleman caught a tip drill ball to set up a field goal, and caught the go-ahead touchdown before Drake Maye led a go-ahead drive of his own that was the deciding margin after an ill-advised Josh Allen interception ended the Bills' final drive. Coleman is a priority pickup even though we may not know if DJ Moore is going to miss extended time. Coleman has put up fantasy-relevant numbers in both games that Moore left early and the 2024 #33 overall pick appears to have Josh Allen's trust after a rocky first two years in the league. |

Bills | Kincaid held to 1 catch for 7 yards in loss to Patriots Sun Oct 4, 04:16 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 29-26 loss to the New England Patriots. He was projected for 10.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.2.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid wasn't heard from until late in the game even though DJ Moore left in the first half. Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir played much larger roles in the passing game as Kincaid has completely cooled off after roaring out of the gate at a top-three fantasy tight end scoring clip. Kincaid still has a very high ceiling because of his quarterback and offense, and it would take a very compelling tight end option to bench him against the Rams in Week 5 on Monday night, especially if Moore is out. |

Bills | DJ Moore hurts shoulder again, leaves in first half and doesn't return, Coleman shines as replacement, Shakir steps up Sun Oct 4, 02:41 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore (shoulder) has been downgraded to doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots. He had previously been listed as questionable to return after heading to the locker room late in the first half.
| Footballguys view: We'll be watching the reports closely to see if Moore is ready to play on Monday night against the Rams. The Bills have a Week 7 bye, so it's in the range of possibilities for Moore to miss Weeks 5 and 6 to give the injured shoulder three weeks of rest since this is the second time he has had a shoulder injury this season. Keon Coleman is Moore's replacement and he stepped with a 6-116-1 game including the go-ahead touchdown in the last five minutes. Khalil Shakir also played a larger role in the passing game with 7-82. |

Bills | DJ Moore 'good to go' for Sunday vs. Patriots Fri Oct 2, 03:46 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore is good to go for Sunday's game against the Patriots. He was limited in practice again on Friday, but he doesn't have a game status. Moore was also limited on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Moore played through this AC joint sprain last week, and there's no reason to think he won't again this week. Moore is one of the toughest players in the league, regularly playing through injuries. He's been a focal point of the Bills' passing attack when he's been on the field. Start him as a WR2. |

Bills | Keon Coleman 'good to go' vs. Patriots, Ray Davis and Christian Benford questionable Fri Oct 2, 02:01 PM
Bills WR Keon Coleman (ankle) should be "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Patriots, head coach Joe Brady said on Friday. RB Ray Davis (hamstring) and CB Christian Benford (toe) are questionable, and DT T.J. Sanders is doubtful.
| Footballguys view: Coleman missed Wednesday's practice, logged a limited day on Thursday, and was cleared after Friday's practice. That's about the best-case scenario you can hope for. Coleman had one of the best games of his young career in Week 2, catching all six of his targets for 63 yards. His next game was cut short by this ankle injury, but he's "good to go" for Week 4. He's a shaky WR4, but he has upside if desperate fantasy managers are looking for it. |

Bills WR Keon Coleman was stretching and "looks ready to go" at the start of the media viewing portion of practice on Thursday, after missing Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury. WR DJ Moore was in a red non-contact jersey once again; he was limited on Wednesday with a shoulder injury. CB Christian Benford was once again not present at the start of practice.
| Footballguys view: Coleman should be out there in Week 4, but his role will be limited and not fantasy relevant. Moore caught 6-of-10 targets for 67 yards in the Bills' Week 3 win over the Chargers. He did that while limited during the week, just like he is this week. Moore is a WR2/flex with upside for us in Week 4. |

Bills | Brady updates Josh Allen's status, doesn't seem 'overly concerned' Tue Sep 29, 01:38 AM
Bills QB Josh Allen took a hit to his left knee in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Chargers. Head coach Joe Brady was asked about Allen's health on Monday and did not seem overly concerned, though he did not provide a major, detailed update.
| Footballguys view: Allen was visibly uncomfortable when walking after the contact, though he remained in the game. The Bills did not announce an injury involving Allen after the win. Still, reporters on the scene said Allen appeared to be favoring his left leg after the game. He was seen limping while leaving the field. While it doesn't sound like a big deal, this issue is worth watching. |

Bills | Talk of knee injury for Josh Allen worth watching Mon Sep 28, 12:47 PM
Josh Allen appeared to injure his left knee Sunday during Buffalo's win. According to Footballguys injury analyst Adam Hutchison, there has been some early speculation that Allen might have an MCL sprain or meniscus injury, but this is all based on video.
| Footballguys view: As of early Monday, there has been no official word on any injury for Allen, but fantasy managers who roster him should be aware that he may appear on the injury report this week. Hutchison currently have Allen projected to play next week, but it's a situation to watch. |

Bills | Kincaid held to 2 catches for 38 yards in win over Chargers Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught 2 passes for 38 yards on 3 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 12.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.8.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid's push to be the top fantasy tight end this season ran into a brick wall against the Chargers. He fumbled on his long gain of the day and was otherwise a nonfactor. He is still a strong TE1 against the Patriots next week as this whole game seemed like an aberration for the Bills offense. |

| Footballguys view: Cook fumbled on the first play for the Bills, and they still stuck with him on a day that the offense committed four more turnovers. Cook scored the clinching touchdown and showed that he can still be a strong fantasy RB1 when not much else is working for the Bills. |

Bills | Keon Coleman participating in stretching as practice gets underway Fri Sep 25, 12:52 PM
Bills WR Keon Coleman (ankle) was participating in stretching as practice got underway. Coleman had not practiced on Thursday, September 24, and sat out the previous day's session with the ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: After back-to-back DNPs, it's good to see Coleman back at practice. He operated as the team's top receiver last week after DJ Moore left early with a shoulder injury. If Moore can't go, Coleman could assume the top role in the receiver room again. However, he could be limited as he recovers from this ankle injury. Dalton Kincaid, the top-scoring tight end through two weeks, should be plenty involved. Khalil Shakir should also see more work. But the receiver room gets thin after that. Coleman would have been a buzzy streamer if Moore were inactive, but this injury complicates things. Without a full practice and a positive report, it'll be hard to trust Coleman in lineups on Sunday. His Week 3 value will hinge on how he practices. |

Bills | DJ Moore back at practice in red non-contact jersey Fri Sep 25, 12:51 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore (shoulder) returned to the practice field in a red non-contact jersey. Moore did not practice on Thursday after being downgraded from a limited participant on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: It's good to see Moore back at practice, but you can't ignore a non-contact jersey. An AC joint sprain is a painful injury to recover from, and Moore is not 100%. There's risk that even if he is active this week, he ends up in a limited role. We'll hope for clarity before kickoff, and the Bills luckily play early enough. But Moore managers should have a backup plan in case it's reported that he will be on a pitch count. |

Bills | DJ Moore downgraded from limited to DNP, Ed Oliver limited in return Thu Sep 24, 05:01 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore went from a limited participant in practice on Wednesday to a DNP in the team's next practice. Buffalo DB Jordan Hancock was also downgraded from limited on Wednesday to not practicing. DT Ed Oliver was limited in his return to the field.
| Footballguys view: Getting downgraded from Wednesday (limited) to Thursday (DNP) is not a great sign for Moore's availability. The Bills may be without Moore if he can't get back to practice on Friday. Playing against the Chargers in Week 3, Khalil Shakir might be asked to do more. |

Bills | Moore, Oliver trending toward playing Week 3, per insider Sun Sep 20, 12:54 PM
A Bills insider provided positive updates on WR D.J. Moore and DT Ed Oliver, both of whom have been dealing with injuries. Moore, who left the Week 2 win early, is not believed to have a significant injury, and head coach Joe Brady previously said Moore 'will be out there' Week 3 if he is able to play. Oliver's timeline had been uncertain, but the latest report indicates improved outlooks for both players heading into Week 3.
| Footballguys view: The Bills face the Chargers next week and will have extra time to assess these injury situations. Whether Moore is able to play in Week 3 or not, Khalil Shakir should be rostered in all leagues. Josh Palmer and Keon Coleman should be on our waiver wire injury speed dial list too. |

Bills | Joe Brady: DJ Moore 'will be out there' Week 3 if he can play Fri Sep 18, 05:43 PM
Bills HC Joe Brady said WR DJ Moore will play in Week 3 against the Chargers if he is able to. Moore is considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury sustained in Buffalo's Thursday night win over the Lions, but the team avoided a major injury diagnosis.
| Footballguys view: The extra rest after Thursday Night Football makes it more likely Moore will have a chance to suit up. Moore was officially diagnosed with an AC joint sprain, and those can vary in severity. Our Adam Hutchinson expects Moore to miss at least one week. But if any player is tough enough to play through a painful injury, it's Moore. |

Bills | DJ Moore suffered an AC joint sprain Fri Sep 18, 11:49 AM
Bills WR DJ Moore, who was off to a fast start in Buffalo, is believed to have suffered an AC joint sprain, sources say. While it's not a serious injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Moore's status is up in the air for next week.
| Footballguys view: The good news is that Moore avoided what looked like a broken collarbone. AC joint sprains can vary in severity, but this will almost certainly be less impactful than the alternative. If Moore is active in Week 3, he's a plug-and-play WR2. If he's inactive, expect Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman to be more involved. Per our Adam Hutchison, "Thursday night game gives him some extra time to rest, but I think he probably misses Week 3, with the latest return to play timeline projection being Week 5." |

Bills | No snap restrictions for TE Kincaid Wed Sep 16, 01:25 PM
Jeremy Fowler, from ESPN, reports there are no snap restrictions for Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid this season.
| Footballguys view: New Bills HC Joe Brady is going to use Kincaid early and often as a trusted weapon for QB Josh Allen. Kincaid caught 5-of-6 targets for 130 yards in Buffalo's Week 1 win over the Texans. We like him as a top-5 TE1 going forward. |

Bills | Josh Allen extends scoring record vs. Texans Sun Sep 13, 09:55 PM
Bills QB Josh Allen had a dominant performance against a tough Texans defense on Sunday. Allen had 334 yards passing with two touchdowns and ran for two more scores after losing his previous four games at Reliant Stadium. "It feels good to start the season off right," Allen said.
| Footballguys view: Despite banging his hand on an opposing pass rusher late in the game, Allen extended his record to nine career games with at least two passing and two rushing touchdowns (Steve Young is next closest with four), and it saw him display good rapport with new No. 1 receiver DJ Moore. As ESPN's Tristan Cockcroft noted, Allen and the Bills offense are humming, and it should keep up the big scores in Week 2 against the Lions. |
