Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox led the team with 56 receiving yards on only two catches (two targets) in the 35-10 blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers at Orchard Park on a snowy Sunday night. Players on both sides of the ball looked like they were on ice skates during a snowstorm that basically lasted the entire game. While Knox was only targeted twice, he made the most of his work and was the only Buffalo player to go over 30 receiving yards in a run-heavy game script. The 28-year-old's season-high 56 yards also came with second-year TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) missing his second straight game due to injury. In the last two weeks with Kincaid sidelined, Kincaid's production has gone up, catching six of eight targets for 96 receiving yards. Knox's Week 14 fantasy value will all depend on whether Kincaid is able to return.
Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis rushed 11 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in the team's win over the San Francisco 49ers. He added one catch for four yards. The rookie saw an increase in usage because of wintry conditions in Buffalo. Davis scored the team's first touchdown late in the first quarter as players tried to find their footing. He later helped run out the clock in a 25-point victory. Davis' uptick in touches is a one-week blip and fantasy managers shouldn't rely on him moving forward. He does, however, remain an important bench stash should James Cook suffer an injury.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught four passes for 30 yards in the team's 35-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Shakir's numbers this week aren't up to his standard this season. However, Josh Allen attempted just 17 passes on Sunday night due to weather conditions and a blowout. Shakir was targeted on seven of those attempts. He remains Allen's go-to receiver. The down week can be blamed on constant snowfall during the game. Shakir will be in the flex range for fantasy football when the Bills face the Rams in Los Angeles next week.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper caught three passes (on three targets) for 12 yards against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. While the stat line could be better for fantasy football, the Bills hardly threw the football due to constant snowfall and a dominant ground game. Josh Allen attempted 17 passes. Allen did target the veteran receiver near the endzone. Cooper caught the ball near the five-yard line and got stopped by the defense. He lateraled the ball back to Allen who dove in for six points. Cooper's disappointing play this week can be blamed on the weather, but he hasn't met expectations since arriving in Buffalo.
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 14 times for 107 yards and a touchdown in the team's 35-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. He also caught one pass for 13 yards. Backup running back Ray Davis scored Buffalo's first touchdown, only to be outdone by Cook one possession later. The 25-year-old sprinted 65 yards for his touchdown on the first play of the drive. The Bills relied on the running game in the snowy conditions. Josh Allen only attempted 17 passes and the starters were pulled early in the fourth quarter because of Buffalo's big lead. Cook and the Bills travel to Los Angeles in Week 14.
