Buffalo Bills

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Amari Cooper (wrist), who has missed the last two games, is improving, but the team will continue to evaluate him leading up to the Week 11 contest against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. The Bills could really use Cooper back as they look to give the Super Bowl-champion Chiefs their first loss of 2024 since they will be missing rookie Keon Coleman (wrist) for the second straight game. Buffalo is on bye in Week 12, so that could influence their decision to hold Cooper out for a third straight game. The 30-year-old caught four passes for 66 yards and a touchdown in his debut with the team on Oct. 20 against the Titans but was injured in the next game. If he returns to the field this Sunday against KC, Cooper should have a significant role, albeit in a tough matchup.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott has ruled out rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) for the Week 11 game this coming Sunday against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. Coleman will miss his second straight game and won't be available again for fantasy managers until the Week 13 contest against the San Francisco 49ers on Dec. 1 with the team's bye coming in Week 12. Amari Cooper (wrist) missed his second straight game in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts, and tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was also injured on Sunday, so Buffalo's pass-catching options are running thin. As a result, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel all saw increased usage against Indy. The 21-year-old Coleman was starting in three-wide sets before his injury and brought in 22 of his 36 targets for 417 yards and three TDs in his first nine NFL games.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins caught all four of his targets for 86 yards in the team's 30-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. He led Buffalo in receiving yards. Hollins made the most of his increased playing time with Amari Cooper (wrist) and Keon Coleman (wrist) sidelined. He and Curtis Samuel primarily manned the outside receiver spots. Most of his production came on a 44-yard completion to set up a last-second field goal before halftime. Hollins will revert to a secondary role if Cooper and Coleman can return against the Chiefs.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught six of nine targets for 58 yards in the team's victory over the Indianapolis Colts. It was a mostly quiet afternoon for the Bills slot receiver, who needed a 30-yard reception late in the fourth quarter to avoid a disappointing stat line. Shakir missed on three targets, matching his season total entering Week 10. Fantasy managers were expecting more from Shakir with Amari Cooper (wrist) and Keon Coleman (wrist) sidelined, but he didn't completely burn those who started him. His slot role did not change with their absence. Shakir will be in the WR3/flex range next week against the Chiefs.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 19 times for 80 yards and scored a touchdown in the team's 30-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He also caught one pass for five yards. Without starting wide receivers Amari Cooper (wrist) and Keon Coleman (wrist) and playing with a lead for the entire second quarter, Cook saw plenty of usage. The exclamation point of his afternoon was a two-yard touchdown plunge with three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Cook draws a matchup against a stout Kansas City run defense in Week 11.
