Buffalo Bills DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer is too risky to trust in a critical Week 17 fantasy week. The Chargers will take on the New England Patriots on Saturday, and while that's a good matchup for Palmer, he's been playing in much more of a support role in the Bolts passing game than anything close to a featured one. He's had one week with double-digit fantasy points in the past seven games, and while he's developed a floor of around three or four fantasy points, that's not something you want to rely on in most league's fantasy championship week. Palmer is best left on the bench or the waiver wire in most formats.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) said after the Week 16 win over the division-rival New England Patriots on Sunday that his arm is fine after he suffered a right-elbow contusion in the second half. Allen said his elbow got hit, which caused him to lose feeling in his throwing arm. The loss of feeling in his arm contributed to a wobbly pass after he took the hit, and he was seen shaking his hand trying to get feeling back. "Just hit the funny bone nerve and went to throw the ball and just had no feeling in the hand," Allen said. He worked with trainers on the sideline to get heat applied to his arm and went back into the game for the next series. The 28-year-old is the front-runner for the MVP award in 2024 despite throwing for 154 yards, one touchdown and a pick in the win over the Pats. Look for Allen to bounce back as a high-end QB1 in Week 17 against the division-rival New York Jets at Orchard Park.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught four passes for just 15 yards in the team's 24-21 victory over the New England Patriots. Kincaid led the team in both catches and targets (seven). However, his yardage total was the seventh-highest mark for the Bills. The entire passing offense was off on Sunday. Josh Allen only threw for 154 yards. Kincaid's Week 16 stat line continues a season-long tendency of underperforming. He'll look to buck that trend when the Bills host the New York Jets in Week 17.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman caught one pass for 17 yards in the team's 24-21 victory over the New England Patriots. The rookie didn't log a reception until early in the second half. He was targeted on a deep pass in the second quarter that landed in the hands of a New England defender. The Buffalo passing offense was out of sync on Sunday. Josh Allen threw for 154 yards. Coleman has four targets in the two games since his return from a wrist injury. It'll be difficult to insert the second-round pick into starting lineups when the Bills face the New York Jets in Week 17.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught two passes for 22 yards in the team's 24-21 win over the New England Patriots. Two receptions tied a season-low mark for the slot receiver. Shakir led Buffalo wide receivers with six targets (only trailed tight end Dalton Kincaid's seven) but couldn't do much with the opportunities. Josh Allen typically targets Shakir on the short and intermediate routes. The pair couldn't connect on a couple of deep shots on Sunday. The entire Buffalo passing game was out of sync as Allen totaled 154 passing yards. Shakir and the Bills host the New York Jets next weekend.
