Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) was a full participant in practice on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Week 7. Kincaid is coming off his best game of the 2024 season, catching a season-high six passes for 51 yards. Unfortunately, a stat line like that was celebrated, as Kincaid has been a fantasy football disappointment this season. The Bills are mainly utilizing him at or near the line of scrimmage. The addition of Amari Cooper could attract defenses away from the tight end, but Buffalo will need to call plays that send Kincaid downfield for him to become a top-six tight end. So far this season, the Titans are the best defense against the position. With his track record and the matchup, Kincaid is a low-end TE1 in Week 7.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) is off the injury report after participating in practice all week. It's encouraging progress for the slot receiver, who played under 40% of the snaps against the Jets in his first game back from injury. The result was just two catches for 19 yards. Fantasy managers can expect to jump back to the 55-70% snap percentage he played before the ankle ailment. However, the Bills added Amari Cooper to the roster this week and he will demand targets away from Shakir. The Titans allow the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season, although they are better against receivers out wide than inside. Shakir is a low-end WR3 this week.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has been a boom-or-bust option for fantasy managers throughout his rookie campaign. That's going to continue with the addition of Amari Cooper to the Buffalo roster. Cooper, Khalil Shakir, and Dalton Kincaid are now above Coleman in the target pecking order. The Titans allow the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers and just two wideouts have scored against them this season. This week, depending on Coleman to add to his touchdown total isn't a good bet. Coleman should be benched until further notice.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (hand) has no injury designation this week draws the Tennessee Titans, a defense allowing the fewest passing yards per game (137) this season. However, the Titans are in the middle of the pack in average fantasy points allowed to the position. The Bills will likely lean on the running game again this week but Allen does have a new weapon in wide receiver Amari Cooper. The Bills acquired the former Pro Bowl wideout earlier this week. His presence will increase the floor for Allen, who already possesses a weekly high ceiling. Allen, as usual, is a QB1 for fantasy football this weekend and should be started in all leagues.
Buffalo Bills rookie running back Ray Davis (calf) popped up on this week's injury report on Thursday and was limited in practice the last two days. The Bills listed him as questionable to play this Sunday in Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans. It's disappointing for fantasy managers that picked Davis up off the waiver wire after his impressive performance against the division-rival New York Jets on Monday night. The 24-year-old fourth-rounder was explosive on his way to 97 rushing yards on 20 carries with James Cook (toe) inactive in Week 6. He also caught all three of his targets for 55 yards. Cook has been cleared to play in Week 7, so even if Davis is given the green light to play on Sunday, he'll likely take a back seat to Cook in the running game. Despite the bad news, Davis' upside makes him a worthwhile stash in most leagues, especially if you also have Cook rostered.
