Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox (back) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 22, and is not on the injury report for Week 3.
Huddle Up: Knox probably will see a few targets this week against the Washington Commanders but should only be considered a No. 2 tight end at this time.

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 22, and has been removed from the Week 3 injury report.
Huddle Up: Cook is coming off a terrific Week 2 performance and should see plenty of touches again this week. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox (back) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 21.
Huddle Up: It is looking more likely that Knox will not be available for Week 3, but fantasy players will know more in the next day or two. He did catch a touchdown last week but probably can be avoided in most leagues even if he is active for the game.

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook (undisclosed) was not spotted on the field during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, Sept. 21.
Huddle Up: Stay tuned, as there were no reports of Cook being injured or ill following Wednesday's practice. In the off-chance Cook cannot play in Week 3, Latavius Murray would likely draw the start and see slightly more work than Damien Harris against the Washington Commanders. Hopefully, Buffalo's beat reporters or head coach Sean McDermott can shed some light on Cook's absence later today.

Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox (back) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 20.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can monitor the situation to see if Knox will be able to play in Week 3. He has posted only 35 yards in two games but did find the end zone last week. Knox probably will see a few targets if he is active but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen will start the preseason finale against the Chicago Bears on Saturday, Aug. 26.
Huddle Up: Allen will get some final tune-up reps with the starting offense. He's a high-end QB1 for fantasy.
Posted 8/20/2023 1:37 am GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught three of his four targets for 45 yards in a 27-15 preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers Saturday, Aug. 19.
Huddle Up: The Bills are expecting Kincaid to make an immediate impact in the passing game, and while rookie tight ends are usually inconsistent, he can still be viewed as a TE2 with upside.
Posted 8/17/2023 2:39 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen and the rest of the starters will play about a quarter-and-a-half Saturday, Aug. 19, in the second preseason game, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
Huddle Up: Allen is a top-four quarterback option in all fantasy formats.
Posted 8/10/2023 7:11 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen and WR Stefon Diggs will not play in the team's preseason game Saturday, Aug. 12, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
Huddle Up: Neither Allen nor Diggs likely will play much during the preseason but will be ready for Week 1. Both players will be weekly starting options in all fantasy leagues.

Buffalo Bills RB Latavius Murray has shown during training camp "how much more he gives the Bills in the passing game" than RB Damien Harris, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic.
Huddle Up: James Cook is set to open the year as the starter, but it sounds like Murray could carve out a role in passing situations. His usage is at least worth monitoring, and he could be have some PPR appeal if Cook misses time.
Posted 8/02/2023 3:16 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid will be flexed out wide in sets with TE Dawson Knox on the line, according to general manager Brandon Beane.
Huddle Up: The team sounds really excited to use Kincaid, and it sounds like he could be at least a 50-50 split in terms of production with Knox. Kincaid is a TE2 with upside in fantasy.
Posted 7/28/2023 5:38 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook has been impressive enough so far that offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey told reporters that he is "really excited about him and what he can do" and added that Cook has "three-down back" potential, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic.
Huddle Up: With all due respect to Dorsey, Cook handled 110 touches as a 190-pound rookie and never handled more than 140 touches in four seasons at the University of Georgia. While Cook will play on all three downs, he lacks the size and overall athleticism to be what most fantasy managers consider a three-down back. He is also highly unlikely to see much action at the goal line with Josh Allen and Damien Harris around. Cook should have plenty of value in PPR leagues, but he best viewed as a low-end RB2.

Buffalo Bills RB Nyheim Hines (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury away from the facility, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Hines was going to have a third-down, pass-catching role. Latavius Murray and Damien Harris figure to battle it out for the RB2 spot on the roster. It's questionable whether the team would keep both veteran backs, and the winner of that battle benefits. Both are RB4 candidates later in drafts.

Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid was a popular target for QB Josh Allen during offseason workouts.
Huddle Up: Kincaid likely will have a role right away in the passing game, but fantasy players can keep an eye on his situation during training camp. He can be considered a No. 2 fantasy tight end at this point but has a chance to become a starting option in leagues depending on his role in the offense.
Posted 7/06/2023 2:31 am GMT
Buffalo Bills RB Nyheim Hines "can function in anything" the Bills do on offense, according to running backs coach Kelly Skipper.
Huddle Up: Hines didn't have the major impact many expected when Buffalo traded for him last season, and while Devin Singletary is no longer in the backfield mix, Hines probably won't offer much in the way of fantasy upside.

Buffalo Bills WR Trent Sherfield saw increased opportunities as the Z receiver during organized team activities and parts of minicamp as a result of Stefon Diggs' absence and took advantage of the opportunity in the eyes of his quarterback, Josh Allen.
"I've loved what I've seen from Trent so far; the dude works extremely hard. He's one of the hardest-working guys on the team. Doesn't complain about anything. He's rolling right now," Allen told ESPN.com's Alaina Getzenberg during offseason practices.
Huddle Up: While Diggs and Gabe Davis should be locked in as the top two receivers in Buffalo, Sherfield has a decent chance to beat out Khalil Shakir for WR3 duties. With a really good training camp, he could push first-round rookie Dalton Kincaid for snaps out of the slot.

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook believes he will be "obviously RB1" when he was asked about what his role would be in 2023 on The Rich Eisen Show recently.
"Just come in and do what I do. Change the game with my versatility. Catching the ball out of the backfield. Pass blocking. Just try to do what I can do to help the team win games and ultimately win the Super Bowl. I'm ready to work. This is a big step and a goal that I wanted to accomplish in the NFL. Just do what I can do to help the team win games," Cook said, via Ryan Talbot of NYUp.com.
Huddle Up: Cook should be right about two things - he should be able to change a game with his versatility and catching the ball. It seems highly unlikely he will be an "obvious" RB1 in Buffalo if only because Damien Harris was added in part to take a lot of the early-down punishment that RB1s usually handle, so the 190-pound Cook won't have to. The second-year back has some high-end flex upside in fantasy, but it seems highly unlikely he will see the 150-plus touches or goal-line work he would need to receive in order to vault himself into RB2 territory.

Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs is reportedly unhappy with his role in the offense and his lack of a voice in play-calling, according to a source.
Huddle Up: According to Ben Volin of the Boston Globe, this frustration was what head coach Sean McDermott was referring to when he said he was "extremely concerned" about Diggs last week. This led to Diggs skipping a mandatory minicamp practice before the issue was apparently smoothed over enough for him to practice the following day. It is unlikely this drama is completely over, and it is something Diggs' current and future fantasy managers need to keep in the back of their minds. He is still very much a fantasy WR1, but he comes attached to more risk than at any other point in his Bills' career.
Posted 6/14/2023 4:56 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs is taking part in mandatory minicamp Wednesday, June 14.
Huddle Up: All seems well after a little holdout scare for the WR1 in fantasy.
Posted 6/13/2023 5:19 pm GMT
Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs - according to his agent - will "be (with the team) for the entirety of minicamp." Diggs' agent told ESPN's Adam Schefter that he has been in Buffalo for more than a day and talked with head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane since returning to town.
Huddle Up: It is not a great sign that the head coach and one of his star players are not on the same page (McDermott expressed being "very concerned" earlier Tuesday). Perhaps this is much ado about nothing, but the last image many have of Diggs was storming off the field following the Bills' playoff loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in January. There is certain to be more drama as it relates to Diggs as the summer rolls on.

Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid is in no way guaranteed to be the team's primary slot option in 2023, according to offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, who told reporters Tuesday, May 30, that Kincaid's role is "to be determined."
"We're nowhere close to knowing what the big picture is going to be because we have to learn him and he has to learn us," Dorsey said.
Huddle Up: It is shocking that Dorsey would wait until a time when players are in pads and actually playing football before he makes a decision about a player he has never coached. All kidding aside, it would be surprising if Kincaid did not operate as the team's "big slot" this season and into the future. He has low-end TE1 upside as a rookie, but the safer bet is that he finishes somewhere inside the top 20 at his position.
Posted 5/24/2023 10:56 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs was not present for organized team activities Tuesday, May 23.
Huddle Up: Diggs does not have to participate in voluntary workouts but should be on the field for the mandatory minicamp in June. He is the focal point in the passing game for the Bills and is a must-start option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 5/01/2023 2:35 pm GMT
Free-agent RB Latavius Murray (Broncos) agreed to a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills Monday, May 1. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
Huddle Up: The Bills have some depth at the position with Damien Harris, James Cook and Nyheim Hines. Murray doesn't look like a great fit here for fantasy purposes but will be one to watch for an RB5 flyer.
Posted 4/28/2023 1:08 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox and first-round pick TE Dalton Kincaid will be used in two-tight end sets with Kincaid flexed out wide, according to general manager Brandon Beane.
Huddle Up: Knox was 10th at the position in standard leagues last year, and he fell to 13th in PPR. This move will affect him, and both are probably midrange or upper-TE2s with Kincaid having upside for more.
Posted 4/28/2023 3:18 am GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid will be on the field with TE Dalton Knox, according to general manager Brandon Beane, and Beane said Kincaid will be flexed out wide in some formations.
Huddle Up: Kincaid's receiving skills should help him lessen the learning curve that often caps the value of rookie tight ends. Consider him a TE2 with upside.
Posted 4/19/2023 11:34 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs is not participating in the start of offseason workouts, according to general manager Brandon Beane.
Huddle Up: Diggs likely will report at some point this offseason and will continue to be a focal point in the passing game for the Bills. He will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 4/18/2023 5:11 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills WR Gabe Davis needs to be put "in better situations to catch and run this year," according to quarterback Josh Allen.
Huddle Up: Presumably, Allen is suggesting that Davis get more opportunities in the short and intermediate passing game as opposed to being utilized strictly as a boundary receiver and downfield pass catcher. Davis is coming off a disappointing season as Stefon Diggs' sidekick, although much of the blame can probably be attributed to the reported high-ankle sprain he dealt with for a large part of the season. Davis is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2023, so fantasy managers should expect him to do everything he can to ball out.
Posted 3/27/2023 2:31 am GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen needs to start taking fewer hits, according to head coach Sean McDermott. "We have to get that adjusted and it's never going to go completely away, but it has to get where it's workable," McDermott said.
Huddle Up: Allen's rushing numbers help make him a high-end QB1, but as long as Buffalo continues to utilize his legs in the red zone, Allen shouldn't see a major decline in fantasy production.
