Buffalo Bills DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed on Monday that rookie running back Ray Davis (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol after he suffered a head injury in the 31-7 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday on wild-card weekend. Davis was hit hard by Broncos defensive back Brandon Jones in the third quarter and stayed down on the field for a while before eventually being taken to the locker room. The 25-year-old did not return and finished the blowout win with only one carry for three yards. Fellow backfield mate Ty Johnson ended up having a big game with a season-high nine carries for 44 yards and two receptions for 26 yards and his third receiving TD of the year. Davis will now have to pass through the concussion protocol in order to play in the Divisional Round against the Buffalo Bills. If Davis isn't cleared, Johnson would have a larger role again as James Cook's backup.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught all three of his targets for 47 yards in the team's 31-7 win over the Denver Broncos in the first round of the postseason. A large chunk of Kincaid's yards came on a 35-yard strike from Josh Allen midway through the fourth quarter. That was the longest reception of Kincaid's season. The 25-year-old has caught three or fewer passes in seven of 14 games this season. He and other Buffalo pass catchers are difficult to trust with how Allen spreads the football around in the passing game. Kincaid and the Bills host the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional round next weekend.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught three passes for 68 yards and a touchdown in the team's dominant win over the Denver Broncos in the Wild Card matchup. Samuel wasn't heavily involved (three targets) but led Buffalo in receiving yards thanks to a long catch-and-run in the fourth quarter. Already ahead two touchdowns entering the final frame, Josh Allen found Samuel for a 55-yard score on the quarter's first play to cement Buffalo's victory. Samuel doesn't hold much value the way Allen shares the love in the passing game. He was one of five receivers to earn three targets, which only trailed Khalil Shakir's six.

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson rushed nine times for 44 yards and caught two passes for 26 yards and a touchdown in the team's 31-7 victory over the Denver Broncos to advance to the Divisional round. Johnson was the second running back to get a touch (behind James Cook) and was called upon more often after rookie Ray Davis suffered a concussion and couldn't finish the game. Johnson's highlight play came on a fourth-and-one from Denver's 24-yard line late in the third quarter. Josh Allen kept the play alive and found the 27-year-old for a sliding catch in the back of the endzone. Johnson's involvement next weekend could depend on Davis' health.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught all six of his targets for 61 yards in the team's 31-7 win over the Denver Broncos in the opening round of the postseason. It's the first time since Week 7 that Shakir secured all his targets and the sixth time this season. He led the Bills in receptions and targets but trailed Curtis Samuel (68) in yards thanks to a long completion to the latter. Shakir remains Josh Allen's favorite receiver and should be heavily involved when the Bills host the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional round next weekend.
