Buffalo Bills WR Khalil Shakir led all receivers, who saw a minimum of 80 targets, with 7.6 yards after the catch per reception in 2025.
Huddle Up: Shakir ended up leading the Bills in receptions, targets and receiving yards, but his 719 receiving yards ranked just 44th in the NFL. While he may never be a fantasy juggernaut, Shakir has established himself as a reliable option for Josh Allen. Even if the Bills upgrade at the receiver position, Shakir should still be a useful flex option in PPR formats in 2026.

Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) played the entire 2025 season with a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his knee, according to TE Dawson Knox.
Huddle Up: Kincaid finished as the TE19 in PPR leagues in 12 games with a 39-571-5 line. He turns 27 in October, and in his fourth season, you could see a marginal jump to possibly enter the top 10. He'll be a low-end TE1 or upside TE2 in next season's drafts.

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) might need a foot procedure in the offseason, according to general manager Brandon Beane. The operation would not keep him out long enough to jeopardize his availabilty for organized team activities.
Huddle Up: Allen was the QB1 for the fantasy season, and that was with some shaky options at receiver. There's no reason to think he won't be a top-three target at the position again next season.

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook had a league-leading 935 rushing yards before contact during the 2025 regular season.
Huddle Up: Cook finished the season as the leading rusher in the NFL with 1,621 yards and also ranked third in the league with 309 carries. He may work with in a new offensive system next season but should still see plenty of touches during games. He will likely be a first-round pick in drafts and will be a must-start fantasy option each week.

Buffalo Bills WR Curtis Samuel (elbow) is officially active for the Divisional Round playoff game.
Huddle Up: Samuel recently returned to the 53-man roster, so it is not known how he will be used in the passing game. He may see a few targets during the game but can be avoided in most leagues.
Posted 1/17/2026 8:13 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills RB Ty Johnson (ankle) has been declared inactive for the Divisional Round playoff game.

Posted 1/15/2026 9:14 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills RB Ty Johnson (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 15, and is listed as questionable for the Divisional Round playoff game.
Huddle Up: Johnson missed most of the practice week because of the injury, so he likely will be a game-time decision for the game. He will see a limited workload if he plays and can be avoided in most leagues.
Posted 1/15/2026 7:52 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee, calf) was limited in practice all week and no longer appears on the injury report.
Huddle Up: Kincaid can be a reliable play in playoff pools as he is a primary target of Josh Allen's. Kincaid can also be considered one of the best tight ends for the 2026 season.
Posted 1/15/2026 7:49 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot, knee, finger) practiced in full on Thursday, Jan. 15, and no longer appears on the injury report.

Posted 1/14/2026 8:34 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday, Jan. 14.
Huddle Up: Kincaid is likely to play again despite being limited through the first two days of the practice week. He was limited for most of the previous week as well, and still played, so he can be relied upon for playoff pools.
Posted 1/14/2026 8:31 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot, knee, finger) practiced in full on Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Posted 1/12/2026 11:42 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (undisclosed) was wearing a walking boot after the Wild Card playoff game, but head coach Sean McDermott said Kincaid should be fine for the Divisional Round game.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can monitor Kincaid's practice participation this week to see if he has any issues leading up to the playoff game. He will see a handful of targets if he plays and can be a No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/11/2026 6:36 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (head) was evaluated for a concussion during the Wild Card playoff game but has been cleared to return.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if Allen has any symptoms during or after the game. He is a starting option in all leagues when he plays.
Posted 1/11/2026 4:41 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills RB Ty Johnson (ankle) is not active for the Wild Card playoff game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Huddle Up: Johnson had been listed as questionable on the injury report after logging just one limited practice session during the week. RB James Cook will receive most of the carries for Buffalo Sunday afternoon and can be a starting option in playoff fantasy leagues, even though the Jaguars' defense has not allowed a 100-yard rusher all season.
Posted 1/10/2026 9:17 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills WR Joshua Palmer (ankle) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Jan. 10.
Huddle Up: Khalil Shakir and Brandin Cooks will likely be the main receivers for the Bills as long as they are in the playoffs can both be at least flex options in leagues.
Posted 1/10/2026 6:12 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills WR Joshua Palmer (ankle) has been ruled out of the Wild Card playoff game.
Huddle Up: Khalil Shakir and Brandin Cooks likely will be the main receivers for the Bills with Palmer unavailable. Both receivers can be at least flex options in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/10/2026 4:02 am GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid led the team with five touchdown receptions and 13 receptions of 20-plus yards despite missing five games during the regular season.
Huddle Up: Kincaid has battled injuries, but when healthy, he has been Josh Allen's most explosive weapon in the passing game. Facing a Jacksonville defense that has bottled up the run, Buffalo may have to lean on Kincaid and the passing attack in their wild-card matchup. With his big-play potential, Kincaid can be considered a TE1 in fantasy playoff contests.
Posted 1/10/2026 2:13 am GMT
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook faces the Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild-card round, and the Jaguars allowed a league-low 85.6 rushing yards per game in the regular season.
Huddle Up: Cook was the NFL's leading rusher, but he will be facing a defense that didn't allow a 100-yard rusher all season. While the matchup isn't ideal, Cook should still be starting in fantasy playoff leagues. On the other hand, he probably isn't the back to pay up for in DFS contests this weekend.
Posted 1/10/2026 12:39 am GMT
Buffalo Bills RB Ty Johnson (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the Wild Card playoff game.
Huddle Up: Johnson may be a game-time decision this week, so fantasy players will need to check the inactive list for his official status. He will see a limited workload if he plays but could be a possible flex option in some leagues if active.
Posted 1/09/2026 7:41 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) practiced in full on Friday, Jan. 9, and no longer appears on the injury report.
Huddle Up: Kincaid upgrading to a full practice on Friday is a good sign he should have a full workload. He can be used as TE1 in playoff pools and can be counted on in 2026 in the same role.
Posted 1/09/2026 7:17 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) practiced in full all week and no longer appears on the injury report.
Huddle Up: Allen being able to play seemed to always be in the cards for the Bills and playoff pools. And once again, in 2026, he will be a QB1 next season as well.
Posted 1/08/2026 8:38 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) was limited in practice on Thursday, Jan. 8.
Huddle Up: Kincaid remaining limited means that his status for the Wild Card Round will come down to his Friday designation. If he plays, he can be utilized in playoff pools as a potential TE1.
Posted 1/07/2026 9:51 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills WR Joshua Palmer (ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 7. The Bills only held a walkthrough Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can monitor the situation during the week to see if Palmer will have a chance to play in the Wild Card game. He has caught only four passes in his last four games and is unlikely to be a starting option in playoff fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/07/2026 9:35 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills RB Ty Johnson (ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 7. The Bills only held a walkthrough Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Johnson has been more involved recently but will still see a limited workload with James Cook on track for most of the snaps at running back. He may have a chance to score a touchdown in the Wild Card game but can be avoided in leagues if he plays.
Posted 1/07/2026 8:07 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday, Jan. 7. The Bills held a walk-through on Wednesday, so the report is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Kincaid is a difference maker in the offense and plays a crucial part in the offense. If he is active, he can be utilized in playoff pools for the Wild Card Round of the playoffs.
Posted 1/07/2026 5:12 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Jan. 7.
Huddle Up: The Jacksonville Jaguars are a tough matchup for opposing QBs, surrendering three TDs to nine INTs over the last five weeks. Allen remains one of the best quarterback options in playoff pools, though, and is a must-start.
Posted 1/05/2026 1:52 am GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox posted two receptions for 24 yards and a touchdown in Week 18 against the New York Jets on his two targets. He surpassed 400 receiving yards, joining TE Dalton Kincaid to become the only pair of Bills TEs to record 400+ receiving yards in a single season.
Huddle Up: Knox also had his 27th career touchdown in the game. He has emerged as a decent fantasy option, even when Dalton Kincaid is on the field. In postseason fantasy leagues, he is worth a roster spot in most formats, and he is a solid mid-tier DFS option, too.
Posted 1/05/2026 1:47 am GMT
Buffalo Bills WR Gabe Davis ended up with a team-high five receptions and seven targets in Week 18 against the New York Jets, finishing with 41 receiving yards and his first touchdown of the season.
Huddle Up: Davis was barely seen this season, so he had no fantasy appeal in redraft leagues. But, he is a good depth addition for fantasy managers in playoff leagues, and he could be a surprise low-cost DFS option for the wild-card round and beyond.
