Buffalo Bills DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has five straight games with at least six receptions as the slot receiver for quarterback Josh Allen. He has 18 more catches than the next Buffalo Bill. As Allen's go-to receiver, Shakir ranks as a WR3 against San Francisco. However, the 49ers are one of the best defenses against slot receivers this season. Plus, Shakir hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 3. Shakir should still see plenty of targets but there are some reasons to be concerned about him matching his typical stat line.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook projects to see plenty of usage on Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are fairly weak against fantasy football running backs this season, allowing the 10th-most points per game. Most recently, Josh Jacobs ran for 106 yards and three touchdowns against them. Cook can beat defenses on the ground or through the passing game. With the potential for hazardous weather in Buffalo, Cook may hear his name called more often. He's ranked as a high-end RB2 in Week 13.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen enters Week 13 as a model of consistency for fantasy football. He's scored at least 20 fantasy points in six straight games and is the QB5 in fantasy points per game this season. In Week 13, the Buffalo Bills host the reeling San Francisco 49ers. The defense is generally strong against quarterbacks but there are injuries to a few key players, including All-Pro pass rusher Nick Bosa. There's a chance of snow in the forecast, which could hamper offensive production. Nevertheless, Allen has been too good to fade and should be in all starting lineups this weekend.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer played his biggest role in a Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and will try to maintain that role in Week 13 when the Bolts face the Atlanta Falcons. In Week 12, Palmer set season highs in snap percentage (83%) and targets (eight). He was only able to turn that into three catches for 38 yards, but the higher usage was certainly encouraging. In Week 13, he will face a Falcons defense that has struggled against opposing wide receivers. With starting running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) out for the game, the Chargers may rely more on the passing game, giving Palmer a similar workload as last week. He has a low floor, but a moderately decent ceiling compared to others ranked in the WR4/5 neighborhood.

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, according to Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN. Coleman has been sidelined over the past two games and remained a limited participant throughout practice this weekend. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to kickoff on Sunday evening, as he may be a game-time decision. Before his injury, Coleman began to find his footing at the professional level, averaging 72.0 yards per game during Weeks 7 through 9. Before this stretch, he averaged just 33.5 yards per game. If Coleman can suit up, he should be viewed as a low-end WR3 facing a tough San Francisco defense.
