Buffalo Bills

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen helped propel the team to the AFC East title as they hung on for a 21-14 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night, completing 30-of-38 passes for 359 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions with 15 carries for 67 yards. Allen committed three red-zone turnovers. The first was a reckless pick in the end zone on Buffalo's opening drive, the second was a fourth-down heave on their next possession, and his third came on a strip-sack fumble late in the third quarter. Allen's first score wasn't exactly how they drew it up; his pass was tipped into the air and into the waiting hands of Trent Sherfield in the back of the end zone. The 27-year-old superstar later gave his team the lead with a short TD to Dawson Knox in the fourth period. Allen now heads back to Orchard Park with his squad as the No. 2 seed as they prepare to host the Pittsburgh Steelers in next Sunday's Wild Card matchup.

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson (head) suffered a helmet-to-helmet hit and had to leave the game on Sunday night. He's currently being evaluated for any concussion-like symptoms along with other precautions. After getting near the goalline, Johnson put his head down and was hit by the Miami Dolphins defender who also went low and made helmet-to-helmet contact. He wasn't seen on the sidelines for some time afterward. Johnson had one carry for five yards and one catch for nine yards on one target before leaving the game. The Bills still have James Cook and Leonard Fournette to lean on, but Johnson's injury will be something to monitor, especially if the Bills end up winning the second seed.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught two of four targets for 15 yards along with one carry for 15 yards during Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. For the third straight week, Samuel had himself a quiet performance as Washington's offense struggled to get anything going for most of Week 18. With the Commanders heading into the offseason, the seventh-year receiver is set to be an unrestricted free agent. While wide receivers are becoming more valuable than ever, it wouldn't be surprising to see Samuel donning a different uniform in 2024.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has put together an up-and-down, yet promising rookie season as a safety valve for quarterback Josh Allen by vacuuming up 66 catches on 83 targets (79.5% catch rate) for 589 yards and two touchdowns in 15 appearances. The story of Kincaid's campaign fantasy-wise has been centered around his productivity with and without Dawson Knox in Buffalo's lineup. In five games sans Knox between Weeks 8 and 12, Kincaid rose to the occasion as an every-week TE1 with 31 catches for 281 yards and two scores. But in 10 other contests with Knox in the mix, which will be the case for Week 18's regular-season finale versus the Miami Dolphins, Kincaid has recorded just 40 catches for 373 yards and one TD. The 24-year-old first-rounder put up a career-high 87 yards in Week 17's win over the New England Patriots, but he will remain a hit-or-miss fantasy option on the packed 16-game slate.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is slowing up at the wrong time for fantasy managers after a sensational run of 462 rushing yards (80 carries) with 222 yards on 18 catches and four touchdowns through Weeks 10 to 14. Cook has totaled 118 scoreless ground yards with a loss of four yards on one catch in his past two games, which certainly wasn't what managers were looking for during the fantasy playoffs. The 24-year-old first-time Pro Bowler took a season-high five red-zone touches, however, in the Week 17 home win over the New England Patriots. That silver lining should bode well for Cook's TD prospects in what could be a high-scoring meeting for the AFC East title on Sunday night against the Miami Dolphins, which features the highest implied point total (48) that we'll find on the loaded 16-game slate. Trailing only Christian McCaffrey (calf) among tailbacks in total yards (1,515), Cook is a viable RB1 in Week 18.
