Bills | Moore could be default #1 target for Allen after extensive summer work Tue Sep 8, 12:52 PM
Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic wrote that "the days of 'everybody eats' seem to be in the rearview mirror, and it would not be surprising to see Moore on the field constantly and for Allen to default to looking his way" in his season preview. Buscaglia reports that Josh Allen "routinely pushed the ball downfield to Moore, making a concerted effort all summer to build on-field chemistry with the Bills' new No. 1 receiver".
| Footballguys view: Allen and Moore developed quick chemistry throughout the summer, and their many connections during training camp produced daily highlights. Footballguy Matt Waldman contends that Moore and Allen have the skills to generate 1,200-1,400 yards and double-digit touchdowns, although that dynamic isn't the intent of Joe Brady's offense in Buffalo. Still, it seems increasingly likely that Moore's WR25 ADP will turn out to have been a bargain. |

Bills | Keon Coleman could play Week 1, Shakir, Johnson uncertain Sun Sep 6, 05:10 PM
Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports that Bills WR Keon Coleman returned to practice last week, but WR Khalil Shakir and RB Ty Johnson did not, although they were working on the side, with Shakir getting in some jogging. He called returning to practice with more than a week before the season opener an "extremely promising sign" for Coleman.
| Footballguys view: Buscaglia speculated that the team might be giving Shakir "all the rest it can until the first regular-season week arrives" "given his usual workload", but that both he and Johnson are uncertain for Week 1. If Shakir can't go, fourth-round pick Skyler Bell, who impressed with his toughness after the catch in the preseason finale against the Steelers, will get more work along with Coleman. If Johnson, who hasn't practiced since August 8, can't go, expect James Cook to get more work in the passing game. |

Bills | Optimism about Shakir's Week 1 status Wed Sep 2, 06:42 PM
Matt Zenitz, from CBS Sports, reports "there's currently optimism" from the Bills that Khalil Shakir will play in Week 1 against the Texans.
| Footballguys view: The team has been quite cautious with Shakir as he deals with this undisclosed injury. Next week, the team will be preparing for their Week 1 matchup against the Texans. We'll know more about Shakir's status at that time...and they'll have to disclose what the injury is. |

Bills | Mecole Hardman released Sat Aug 29, 01:18 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Mecole Hardman was released Saturday, Aug. 29, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Hardman signed with the Bills last year in November, but he only caught one pass for four yards and a touchdown in the Divisional Round loss to the Broncos. Signed to a reserve/futures contact earlier this year, Hardman failed to impress in training camp and the preseason. He gets a bit of a head start as rosters are being trimmed across the league, so perhaps some team will want Hardman for veteran depth. A return to the Chiefs for a third stint would not be a surprise. |

Bills | Skyler Bell active against Pittsburgh Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Skyler Bell caught seven of his 10 targets for 49 yards and added a 28-yard rushing touchdown during the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: The fourth round pick Bell was hurt for most of camp, but he showed out in this game to give the Bills an idea of what he could contribute. Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir are banged up right now, so Bell should be on our waiver wire watch list because he plays with Josh Allen. |

Bills | Skyler Bell back on field Mon Aug 24, 03:24 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Skyler Bell (groin) participated in practice Monday, Aug. 24, after missing some time because of a groin injury.
| Footballguys view: Bell has yet to play in a preseason game, missing both of the first two contests. He told reporters after practice that it was a groin injury he was dealing with, but felt "like a kid in a candy store" getting back on the field, especially because he said he had never missed that much time before playing football. The rookie has work to do after missing so much time. We'll see if he can gain ground in coming days. |

Bills | Keon Coleman has a sprained toe/foot Tue Aug 18, 01:16 PM
Bills WR Keon Coleman has been diagnosed with a sprained foot/toe suffered in the preseason opener, a source told NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe.
| Footballguys view: Coleman, who was seen in a walking boot today, will miss practice time, but head coach Joe Brady indicated he didn't have much concern. It's been a strong spring/summer for Coleman, who scored a TD Saturday. While he's clearly in a better spot than he's been in past seasons, Coleman has a way to go before being considered draft-worthy in most leagues. |

Bills | Keon Coleman in a boot Tue Aug 18, 10:44 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman (foot) is in a walking boot Tuesday, Aug. 18, after suffering a lower-body injury over the weekend.
| Footballguys view: Coleman played in the Bills' preseason opener, catching three passes on four targets for 17 yards. While he got banged up during the game, head coach Joe Brady said that he expected the receiver to be fine. Several receivers aren't practicing on Tuesday, with Khalil Shakir also sidelined. But DJ Moore is participating in the session. We'll monitor Coleman and Shakir and report back as needed. |

Bills | Josh Allen shines Saturday Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen completed six of his eight passes for 111 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: If those numbers seem a bit aggressive for a preseason opener, you're not wrong. Allen came out and hooked up with new #1 receiver DJ Moore three times right away for 61 yards. Moore did get a little banged up, but Allen said that finding Moore early and often will be the plan every week (!), so don't let the injuries Moore and Keon Coleman (who caught Allen's touchdown on an extended play) dampen enthusiasm about this offense as a whole after it appears that it will be opened up under new head coach Joe Brady. |

Bills | Two Buffalo receivers banged up on Saturday Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM
Buffalo Bills WRs DJ Moore (ankle) and Keon Coleman (lower body) were both tended to on the sideline, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 15. Trainers attended to Moore's ankle area after the second drive, but he stood on sidelines for the rest of the game. Coleman was tackled on third offensive drive after his last catch favored the lower body.
| Footballguys view: The injury mechanism for Moore looked like it could have been a high ankle sprain, but head coach Joe Brady said that Moore was "good to go" after the game. We'll wait to see his practice participation this week before closing the book on this injury scare. Coleman's injury is more mysterious, and maybe a bigger concern. Brady said he was okay after the game, but Coleman was wearing a walking boot while walking his dog in an instagram post made after the game. Coleman scored the first touchdown in the Bills new stadium and appeared to be gaining some momentum before the injury. |

Bills | Josh Allen will play in preseason opener Thu Aug 13, 10:47 AM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen will play in the preseason opener Saturday, Aug. 15, after head coach Joe Brady said everyone healthy will play Saturday.
| Footballguys view: Some teams don't play their starters much if at all in the preseason, and certainly some don't play starting quarterbacks in the preseason opener. Allen is going to be out there, likely briefly, and we're excited about what he can do with new HC Joe Brady running the show. |

Bills | Skyler Bell might struggle to routinely play Mon Aug 10, 12:55 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Skyler Bell has shown good separation skills and releases at the line during scrimmages. However, Bell's ball skills have held him back, and he appears to be behind the top four WRs DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer at this point.
| Footballguys view: While Bell is expected to be a roster lock, his game-day role is expected to be determined by how he finishes through the team's three preseason games. Especially if the Bills keep Mecole Hardman as a sixth receiver and their primary punt returner, the Athletic's Joe Buscaglia contends it wouldn't be stunning if Bell begins the regular season as a healthy scratch. |

Bills | O'Cyrus Torrence lands big deal Fri Aug 7, 09:40 AM
Buffalo Bills OG O'Cyrus Torrence agreed to a four-year, $78.4 million extension Friday, Aug. 7. The deal includes $46 million guaranteed, and he becomes the seventh highest-paid guard in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: Torrence was a second-round pick in 2023 for the Bills and he has been everything the team hoped he would be. Their other starting guard from 2025, David Edwards, was signed to a big contract by the Saints this offseason. Alec Anderson and Austin Corbett are competing to replace Edwards at left guard, the only spot on the line that will have turnover from the 2025 lineup. |

Bills | RBs more involved in passing game Sun Aug 2, 01:34 PM
Buffalo Bills RBs James Cook, Ty Johnson and Ray Davis have been noticeably more involved in the passing game during the early part of training camp, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Alaina Getzenberg.
| Footballguys view: We have heard a steady drumbeat about James Cook being more involved as a receiver this year after the team hired Pete Carmichael as offensive coordinator. Carmichael was one of the architects of Alvin Kamara's big seasons as a receiving running back in New Orleans. Cook has proven that he can put up RB1 numbers on the strength of his touchdown upside in 2024, and his rushing title winning productivity as a runner last year. We still haven't seen what he can with more work in the passing game, and Cook was drafted by the Bills in the 2022 second round in part because of his receiving skills. It's reasonable to take him in the second half of the first round, and maybe even ahead of Jonathan Taylor. |

Bills | Skyler Bell could earn early role Wed Jul 15, 04:09 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Skyler Bell has a chance to move in front of WR Joshua Palmer and WR Keon Coleman on the depth chart if he has a strong preseason, in the opinion of BillsWire's Justin DiLoro.
| Footballguys view: It's easy to speculate about Day 3 rookies climbing the depth chart during the slow part of the offseason. More often than not, however, those hype trains derail once camp opens. Bell is a good receiver, cut from the same cloth as DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir. He's a dynamic mover who is aggressive at the catch point and with the ball in his hands. Coleman and Palmer have both been disappointing in Buffalo, which could make Bell worth a look in deep leagues. He's a name to know and watch in training camp, but there are probably better bets to make in the final rounds of fantasy drafts until he starts getting legitimate buzz when pads are on. |
