Buffalo Bills DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen totaled three touchdowns as his team was eliminated from the postseason in Sunday's 27-24 Divisional Round loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, completing 26-of-39 for 186 yards and adding 72 yards on 12 carries. The Bills imposed their will in the trenches during the first half, which was punctuated by short Allen rushing scores on two QB keepers. Allen found Khalil Shakir from 13 yards out to continue Sunday's seesaw affair, putting Buffalo up temporarily in the third quarter. With the loss, the Bills fell in the Divisional Round at home in back-to-back years. And after the Chiefs held Allen to a season-low 5.5 yards per attempt in Week 14, they doubled down to allow 4.8 YPA on Sunday. Buffalo's offseason moves remain to be seen, but it's clear that impending free agent Gabe Davis' (knee) absence was felt with Stefon Diggs scuffling down the stretch. Regardless, Allen will be a top-two QB1 in 2024 fantasy drafts.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (shoulder) returned to Sunday's meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. He suffered a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter. However, after getting checked out in the locker room, he's back in the game. The update is undoubtedly good news for Buffalo, considering the wideout had a team-high six grabs while scoring a touchdown before exiting.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's postseason clash with the Chiefs. Gabe Davis (knee) wasn't active for this one, so Shakir took advantage by leading the team with six catches for 34 yards. He also had a touchdown. Kansas City has held Stefon Diggs in check throughout the contest, which could mean more targets for Trent Sherfield and Dalton Kincaid for the rest of the night.

The Buffalo Bills aren't done playing yet, but they're already adding to their 2024 roster. On Saturday, the Bills signed wide receiver KJ Hamler to a reserve/future contract. Hamler didn't play at all this season and spent a majority of the time on the Indianapolis Colts practice squad. The 2020 second-round pick has been a bust so far throughout his NFL career. There's hope that he can turn his career around, but he'll need to crack the 53-man roster in training camp.

While Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakirmanaged just three targets in last Monday's wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, he parlayed them into an efficient three catches for 31 yards and a touchdown. With Gabe Davis (knee) ruled out for Sunday's Divisional Round versus the Kansas City Chiefs, Shakir should once again fill in as Buffalo's No. 2 wideout behind top target Stefon Diggs. Shakir has gathered in all of his past 16 targets for 220 yards, stepping up for the Bills in a big way on numerous occasions when they've been short-handed since last year's rookie season. In eight games either without Davis or tight end Dawson Knox dating back to Oct. 2022 -- including Davis' Week 18 exit -- Shakir has made the most of his 35 targets with 29 catches for 546 yards and three scores. That checks out to a ridiculous 15.6 yards per target. Costing an inexpensive $3,800 on DraftKings, Shakir sets up as a rather chalky DFS play and preferable salary-relief option.
