Buffalo Bills DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was responsible for 40 touchdowns during 17 regular season games. That's 2.35 touchdowns per game, which is actually lower than the 2.7 he's averaged during his postseason career. The 28-year-old has upped his game in the playoffs, averaging 330 yards per game. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady will lean on the MVP candidate in the opening matchup against the Denver Broncos. Denver's secondary has been one of the weaker units against quarterbacks over the last four weeks. Although he's the priciest option for DFS lineups, Allen can easily be the week's top signal caller.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Amari Cooper (personal) will practice in some capacity during the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday as they get set to prepare to take on the visiting Denver Broncos in the wild-card round of the playoffs this Sunday. Cooper did not travel with the Bills to New England in their loss against the division-rival Patriots in the Week 18 regular-season finale due to personal reasons, but the 30-year-old veteran is now back with the team and figures to be active this weekend. However, for fantasy purposes, Cooper will be avoided by most, especially going up against a top-five defense in the Broncos. In eight games with Buffalo in 2024 after being acquired from the Cleveland Browns, the five-time Pro Bowler caught only 20 passes for 297 yards and two TDs. Khalil Shakir and rookie Keon Coleman are both better upside plays.UPDATE: Cooper practiced in full on Wednesday.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Monday that wide receiver Amari Cooper (personal) hasn't rejoined the team after he was excused for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival New England Patriots due to a personal matter. McDermott is hopeful Cooper will be available for the wild-card playoff game this Sunday against the visiting Denver Broncos, but right now the team is taking the situation a day at a time. The move from Cleveland to Buffalo at the trade deadline was supposed to give Cooper a much higher fantasy ceiling, but instead, consistent targets have been hard to come by in the Bills offense. The 30-year-old has caught just 20 of 34 targets for 297 yards and two TDs in his eight games with Buffalo and will be a low-end WR2, at best, in playoff leagues if he's active on Sunday. If he's not, Khalil Shakir and rookie Keon Coleman will become more interesting in fantasy.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman caught two of 10 targets for 31 yards in the team's 23-16 loss to the New England Patriots. He also rushed once for nine yards. Amari Cooper (family matter), Khalil Shakir, and Dalton Kincaid did not play, leaving several opportunities for the rookie. Four of his 10 targets came on consecutive plays on Buffalo's final drive. His targets came from backup quarterbacks Mitchell Trubisky and Mike White. Josh Allen played one snap only to extend his consecutive starts streak. Coleman will be an integral part of the Buffalo offense when the team hosts the Denver Broncos in the Wild Card round.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught seven passes for 52 yards in the team's 23-16 loss to the New England Patriots in the final game of the regular season. His seven receptions were a season-best mark. The 28-year-old has mostly been an afterthought in the Buffalo offense this season, so it makes sense that one of his best games came when the Bills rested some starters. Amari Cooper (family matter) was inactive. Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid were active but did not play a snap. Mitchell Trubisky quarterbacked the majority of the game. Samuel will return to a minimal role in the first round of the playoffs.
