Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Texans. He's yet to practice since going down in Week 10, so we'd consider him iffy to make it back for Week 13's meeting with the Steelers. TE Dawson Knox has registered 77% and 85% route rates in the two games Kincaid has missed this season, although he's totaled just five targets on a 9% share across those two games. WRs Curtis Samuel (elbow, neck) and Mecole Hardman (calf) have also been ruled out for Week 12.

Bills WR Khalil Shakir suffered a high right ankle sprain in the team's Saturday practice at the stadium. HC Sean McDermott told reporters Sunday that Shakir is "week to week." Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports says sources project a 4-5 week expected absence.

The Bills signed WR Elijah Moore to a one-year deal worth "up to" $5 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We'll see how much guaranteed money Moore got, but it's probably not enough to make him a roster lock.

The Bills have agreed to a three-year deal with WR Josh Palmer. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Palmer will get $36 million, with $18 million of that guaranteed. Palmer spent his first four seasons with the Chargers, falling short of 40 receptions in three of those years. That included last year, when his 2.6 receptions per game trailed Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Will Dissly and narrowly led J.K. Dobbins (2.5).

The Bills have announced a four-year extension for WR Khalil Shakir. The pact locks him in through 2029. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Shakir will get "up to" $60.2 million, including $32 million guaranteed.

Bills WR Curtis Samuel (rib) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jets. Buffalo will continue to roll with a WR rotation of Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Amari Cooper, and Mack Hollins.

Bills WR Curtis Samuel (rib) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. We’ll get Buffalo’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday, but hopefully Samuel is not in your Week 17 fantasy plans.

Bills WR Curtis Samuel (rib) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He’s been a minor part of the passing game for most of the season, so there’s not much fantasy impact here.

Bills WR Curtis Samuel (rib) is questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. With the rest of Buffalo's WR corps back to full health, Samuel should not be in your Week 16 fantasy plans.

Bills WR Amari Cooper is inactive for today’s home game against Miami. Cooper was listed as questionable after putting in limited practices all week. Without the veteran, Buffalo will rely on Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir, and Keon Coleman. Shakir and Coleman are WR3s with upside, while Kincaid projects as a top-10 TE. Meanwhile, Curtis Samuel is active. He remains off the fantasy radar.

Bills WR Curtis Samuel (pectoral) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. We don’t have a timetable for his return. Samuel totaled just 18 targets over the first seven games of the season, so there’s minimal fantasy impact here.

Bills WR Curtis Samuel suffered a shoulder in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He's questionable to return. We'll update Samuel's status when we know more.

Update: Samuel has been ruled out.

Bills WR Khalil Shakir (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Jets. He only got in a limited practice on Saturday this week. While there have been multiple reports that RB James Cook is expected to play through his questionable tag, there's been no such update on Shakir. Between the late kickoff and a matchup with the Jets' 11th-ranked WR defense, Shakir should be on fantasy benches at this point. WR Curtis Samuel will step in as Buffalo's primary slot receiver if Shakir doesn't play.

Bills WR Khalil Shakir (ankle) remained sidelined for Friday's practice. He's looking unlikely to make it back for Monday night's game vs. the Jets. WR Curtis Samuel stepped in as Buffalo's primary slot receiver last week but mustered just one catch on four targets for 0 yards.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said Friday on WGR 550 in Buffalo that WR Khalil Shakir won't play Sunday against the Texans. Shakir sprained an ankle late in the Week 4 loss to Baltimore and has missed practice all week.

Bills WR Curtis Samuel (toe) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s opener vs. the Cardinals. That suggests that Samuel will be ready for a full workload, although we’d still like to wait at least a week before using Samuel in fantasy lineups coming off the turf toe.

Bills WR Curtis Samuel (toe) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to be available for this weekend's opener vs. the Cardinals -- and it seems like he'll be ready to play a full slate of snaps.
