Free-agent WR Curtis Samuel (Commanders) agreed to terms on a three-year contract with the Buffalo Bills Thursday, March 14, worth $24 million, according to a source. The deal could be worth as much as $30 million and includes $15 million in guaranteed money.
Huddle Up: Samuel should have a good role in the passing game in 2024 after the Bills lost Gabe Davis in free agency. He is coming off a productive 2023 season and can be a No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Free-agent WR Mack Hollins (Falcons) agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Buffalo Bills Wednesday, March 13.
Huddle Up: For now, Hollins is the WR3 in the offense and could serve as a banger of a WR5.

Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox restructured his contract Monday, March 11, to reduce his $14.4 million salary cap hit. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
Huddle Up: Knox missed considerable time with a wrist injury, and Dalton Kincaid kind of took over in the process. Knox had games with six targets before the injury and topped out at three after he returned. He could still be a handcuff to Kincaid, but that's about it.

Buffalo Bills WR Khalil Shakir led all receivers in catch percentage last year at 86.7 percent. The stat is based on receptions, divided by targets, and it provides a percentage to illustrate how often a player successfully hauled in a targeted pass.
Huddle Up: Shakir had 39 catches on 45 targets last season. He was the WR60 in PPR leagues, which makes him a meager WR5, but he had 10 catches (on 12 targets) for 75 yards and two scores in the two playoff games. He's a player you can bank on seeing a bigger role next season and would be worth at least a WR4 pickup with upside.

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen has scored 42 or more touchdowns in each of the last four seasons.
Huddle Up: Allen has become of the top dual-threat weapons in the NFL, and he is probably the safest bet as the No. 1 fantasy option at the quarterback spot.

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (shoulder) said his right shoulder felt much better in the final month of play. "It just felt like it kept getting better as the season went on. And especially these last probably four weeks, felt like it didn't bother me at all," Allen said. "So yeah, I don't think there's anything."
Huddle Up: Allen basically confirmed what the team's management had said, which is that he doesn't require offseason shoulder surgery. Allen is a tremendous option in dynasty leagues, and he'll once again be a top-tier fantasy option in 2024, with serious consideration as the first quarterback off of the draft board.

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook ranked third in the NFL with 1,567 yards from scrimmage in 2023 while ranking 10th among running backs with 281 total touches.
Huddle Up: Cook excelled in his second season, finishing fourth in the league in rushing and establishing himself as an every-down back. It would be nice to see him provide more production near the goal line, but Cook looks locked in as Buffalo's lead back and a RB1 heading into 2024.
Posted 1/22/2024 11:38 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (shoulder) said he does not need surgery on his injured shoulder at this point.
Huddle Up: Allen may be limited during offseason workouts but should be fine for the start of training camp. He played very well during the second half of the season and should be a No. 1 quarterback in all fantasy leagues next season.

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (neck) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 19, and is not on the injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game. The Bills did not hold a practice Friday, so his practice participation is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Allen has been productive with both his arm and legs over the last month and will look to continue his strong play this week. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/18/2024 9:55 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (neck) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 18.
Huddle Up: Allen is coming off an outstanding Wild Card performance and is one of the better quarterbacks remaining in the playoffs. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/17/2024 9:18 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (neck) practiced in full on Wednesday, Jan. 17. The injury report was an estimation, as the Bills only held a walkthrough.
Huddle Up: Allen has been a regular on the injury report all season, so there's no concern here. He remains a locked-in QB1 until further notice.
Posted 1/12/2024 9:12 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox (illness) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 12, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
Huddle Up: Knox should be involved in the passing game and likely will see a few targets against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He could be a low-end No. 1 tight end in some fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/12/2024 9:07 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (neck) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 12, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
Huddle Up: Allen has been one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL over the last few months but the expected inclement weather this weekend may hurt his numbers. He should still be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/11/2024 10:17 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 11.
Huddle Up: Knox will have a few days to recover from the illness, so fantasy players will know more about his status in a few weeks. He will see a handful of targets if he is cleared to play and could be a low-end No. 1 tight end in some leagues.
Posted 1/10/2024 7:56 pm GMT
Huddle Up: There's no concern about Allen after he logged a full practice on Wednesday. He remains the top option at the position in playoff leagues after finishing as QB1 overall in 2023.

Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox caught two of his three targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Week 18 versus the Miami Dolphins.
Huddle Up: Knox has become little more than a nuisance for Dalton Kincaid's loyal fans, as Week 18 was one of the few times all season that both players contributed in a big way in the same game. Expect Buffalo to focus much more on expanding Kincaid's role in 2024 - possibly at the expense of Knox's production - even if the Bills lean on their two-tight end package as much as they have so far this season. Knox should be an afterthought in most playoff fantasy leagues and considered no more than a low-end TE2 in redraft leagues moving forward.
Posted 1/08/2024 6:57 am GMT
Buffalo Bills WR Khalil Shakir hauled in all six of his targets for 105 yards in Week 18 versus the Miami Dolphins.
Huddle Up: Barring a huge performance or two during the NFL Playoffs, Shakir's season will likely fly under the radar. Don't let it happen to you. First of all, he appears to be first in line to replace impending free-agent Gabe Davis as Stefon Diggs' wingman in 2024. Secondly, he caught a remarkable 87 percent of his targets and averaged 15.6 yards per catch despite not running a high percentage of deep or intermediate routes. While it is unlikely he will make a huge splash this postseason, his prospects of being a strong sleeper option in 2024 drafts look very good at the moment.
Posted 1/08/2024 6:24 am GMT
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook ran 13 times for 36 yards and caught three of his four targets for 16 yards in Week 18 versus the Miami Dolphins.
Huddle Up: Cook became much more of a featured back in Buffalo's offense once Joe Brady replaced Ken Dorsey as the play-caller. However, it has to be slightly concerning that the second-year back's effectiveness declined dramatically over the last three games. As such, he will be hard to rank confidently in playoff leagues and in 2024 redraft formats. Consider him an upside RB2 option who could be asked to serve in a committee again with a more physical back next season.
Posted 1/08/2024 6:07 am GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen finished 30-of-38 for 359 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Week 18 against the Miami Dolphins. Allen also lost a fumble but recorded game highs with 15 carries and 67 yards rushing.
Huddle Up: Much as the case was during the traditional fantasy season, Allen will be considered the top quarterback option in most playoff leagues. The Bills have a real chance to make a Super Bowl run and Allen typically has his hand in just about everything the team does offensively. He is also the overwhelming favorite to be the top quarterback to come off draft boards next spring and summer.
Posted 1/06/2024 2:30 am GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (finger, neck) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 5, and is not on the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Allen has been able to play over the last few weeks despite injuries and should not have limitations against the Miami Dolphins. He has found the end zone a lot during the last month and should be a starting option in all leagues.
Posted 1/05/2024 10:27 pm GMT
Washington Commanders WR Curtis Samuel (hamstring) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 5, and is not on the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Samuel has posted only 49 yards combined over the last two games but has been targeted at least five times in four of the last five games. He should see a similar workload this week and could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.
Posted 1/04/2024 10:14 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (finger, neck) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 4.
Huddle Up: Allen has been a factor in both the passing and the running game lately with nine total touchdowns over the last four games. He should be considered a No. 1 quarterback in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/04/2024 6:26 pm GMT
Washington Commanders WR Curtis Samuel (hamstring) was not spotted at practice Thursday, Jan. 4.
Huddle Up: Samuel was a full participant at practice on Wednesday so be sure to check the practice report that comes out later in the day to ensure he didn't practice. Samuel is a WR4 option if he plays against the Dallas Cowboys this week.
Posted 1/03/2024 9:12 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (finger, neck) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 3. The Bills did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Allen is dealing with some minor issues but should be on the field for a must-win game in Week 18. He likely will be a starting option in all leagues if active.
Posted 1/01/2024 11:20 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (neck) suffered a neck stinger during the Week 17 game but should be available for the Week 18 game, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
Huddle Up: Allen may miss some practice time this week but should be on the field against the Miami Dolphins. He has been one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL during the second half of the season and should be a starting option in all leagues.
Posted 12/31/2023 8:04 pm GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox (head) left the Week 17 game early and is being evaluated for a head injury.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if Knox is diagnosed with a concussion. He sees a few targets each game but can be avoided in most leagues.
Posted 12/24/2023 12:32 am GMT
Buffalo Bills RB Ty Johnson (shoulder) was ruled inactive for the Week 16 game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday, Dec. 23.
Huddle Up: Johnson was in a rotational role in the backfield over the last few weeks so this likely gives Leonard Fournette the opportunity to see some snaps for the first time with Buffalo.
Posted 12/22/2023 12:23 am GMT
Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox (wrist) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 21, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.
Huddle Up: Knox is coming off his big game of the season last week but still is not a big part of the passing game for the Bills. He can be avoided in fantasy leagues.
