Buffalo Bills DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught four passes for 53 yards in the team's 48-42 win against the Detroit Lions. The 25-year-old returned to action following a three-game absence due to a knee injury. He was heavily involved in the offense, tying wide receiver Khalil Shakir as the team's target leader (7). He also caught a pass in the endzone that was called back for a penalty. Despite seeing plenty of targets, Kincaid failed to reach double-digit PPR points. With just three games of more than 10 points in 11 opportunities, Kincaid's disappointing season continues.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught six of his seven targets for 39 yards and one touchdown in the team's 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions. The Bills tallied 559 offensive yards and Josh Allen threw for 362, so Shakir's total was a bit disappointing. However, the slot receiver found the end zone on a three-yard flip coming across the formation to save his day. It's the second time Shakir has scored in as many weeks and his fourth this season. The 24-year-old will be in the flex conversation next week when the Bills host the New England Patriots.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper did not see a target in the team's 48-42 victory over the Detroit Lions. Josh Allen threw for 362 yards and the game featured over 1,000 yards of offense. Yet, the veteran receiver was held out of the box score. This is a sharp contrast from last week when Cooper earned 14 targets. The Bills relied on all offensive weapons. Just nine of Allen's 23 completions were to wide receivers. Cooper isn't consistently on the football field (fourth in wide receiver snaps this week) and can't be trusted as a startable fantasy football receiver moving forward.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 14 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 48-42 victory over the Detroit Lions. He also added one reception for 28 yards. The Lions have been a stout run defense throughout the season but injuries to their front seven are piling up. Cook's first score came from six yards away in the second quarter. His highlight play was a 41-yard scamper for six early in the third quarter. Buffalo utilized all three of their running backs in the win so it was encouraging for Cook's fantasy managers that he made the most of his touches. He'll be in must-start territory next week against the New England Patriots.

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson caught five passes for 114 yards in the team's 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions. The veteran also rushed twice for nine yards. Buffalo's coaching staff clearly saw something on film when installing their game plan that suggested utilizing the third-down back. Johnson caught two passes for 57 yards on the team's opening drive. When the final whistle sounded, Johnson led the team in receiving yards. While he's been more involved in the offense recently, Johnson doesn't get enough touches for fantasy managers to feel good about starting him. He only needs to be added in deep leagues.
