Bills RB Ray Davis (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. He was limited in practice and remained in a red non-contact jersey all week. Davis still has work to do to clear protocol before kickoff. We'll keep you posted on his progress. Davis' absence would be a small boost to RB James Cook's carry projection.
Bills RB Ray Davis sustained a concussion in Sunday's Wild Card win over the Broncos. That leaves him iffy for next weekend's Divisional Round game vs. the Ravens. We'll track Davis' progress through the protocol throughout the coming week. Davis has been operating as Buffalo's No. 3 RB behind James Cook and Ty Johnson, so his absence wouldn't make much of a fantasy impact.
Bills WR Amari Cooper is back with the team, HC Sean McDermott said Wednesday. Cooper missed Week 18 for a personal matter but should play against the Broncos on Sunday. See where Cooper sits in the Wild Card Round Rankings.
Bills WR Amari Cooper remains away from the team for personal reasons, HC Sean McDermott said Monday. McDermott said he's "hopeful" Cooper will be available for Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Broncos. We'll keep you posted on his status. Cooper never became a full-time player for the Bills after arriving in October. He's averaged 2.5 catches and 37 yards across eight games with the team. He's a risk/reward pick in NFL playoff fantasy drafts, with the upside to get four games if the Bills make a run to the Super Bowl.
Bills HC Sean McDermott said Monday that LB Terrel Bernard is "trending in the right direction in regards to being able to play Sunday" against the Broncos, according to Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News.
Bills WR Amari Cooper has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots due to a family matter. We'll look for more details on the situation and whether this might impact Cooper's availability for next weekend's playoff game. He was unlikely to play much, if at all, against New England anyway.
The Bills have already ruled LB Terrel Bernard out for Sunday's game at New England. He's officially dealing with quad injury, and HC Sean McDermott has deemed him "probably somewhere between day to day and week to week." The coach had already indicated that his team will rest at least some starters for its meaningless finale.
Bills HC Sean McDermott said Monday that QB Josh Allen will start Sunday's game vs. the Patriots to keep his consecutive starts streak alive but that he won't play for long. Buffalo is locked into the AFC's No. 2 seed, so it'll be QB Mitchell Trubisky for the majority of Week 18. Don't expect the Bills' other key offensive weapons to play their usual amount either. We'll look for more information on Buffalo's exact plans, but this is probably an offense to avoid in season-long fantasy lineups.
Bills WR Amari Cooper exited for a concussion check in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jets. His head hit the turf hard at the end of a 30-yard TD. We'll update Cooper's status when we know more.
Update: Cooper has been cleared to return.
The forecast for today's Jets-Bills game calls for a 45-60% chance of rain throughout the contest with sustained winds of 15 mph and gusts around 30 mph. They're far from ideal conditions but shouldn't kill either passing game. The game still has a 44.5-point over/under, with the Bills implied for 27.25 points. We're not adjusting our projections for this one.
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 RB James Cook scored twice in the Bills win against the Patriots. He ran 11 times for 100 yards and a score and was the team’s leading receiving catching all three of his targets for 26 yards and another TD.
Bills QB Josh Allen had a below-average fantasy day, letting down fantasy managers in the playoffs. He went 16-for-29 for 154 yards passing including a TD and INT. He only ran for 30 yards on six carries.
Bills inactives vs. New England today include S Taylor Rapp (neck), S Damar Hamlin (rib), CB Rasul Douglas (knee), and LB Matt Milano (groin). Milano's absence should mean a start for LB Dorian Williams, who was questionable with an elbow injury but is active. He carries big tackle upside into the role he played before Milano's return. Buffalo started S Cam Lewis, CB Kaiir Elam and S Cole Bishop with the same secondary trio out last week. None supplied big numbers despite a huge-volume passing day for the Lions in that one. None is probably worth attention for your Week 16 IDP lineup.
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 QB Josh Allen had been playing through a fractured left hand suffered in the season-opening win over the Cardinals, NFL Network reports. That helps explain why Allen has taken just 15.4% of his snaps from under center this season, the third-lowest rate of his career. But it obviously hasn't impacted his production. Allen is "fully healthy" now, NFL Network adds. The story just adds context to what's been an MVP-caliber campaign from Allen.
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 TE Dalton Kincaid returned from a three-game knee injury for Sunday's win over the Lions. He drew 7 targets to tie WR Khalil Shakir for the team lead. Kincaid caught four of them for 53 yards. But he also trailed Dawson Knox in playing time.
Bills RB James Cook ran for 104 yards and 2 TDs on 14 carries in Sunday's win over the Lions. What he didn't do, though, was see much receiving work. Cook also played just 41.4% of offensive snaps overall, his second-smallest share of the season.
