Buffalo Bills DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid secured six of his seven targets for 51 yards in the team's narrow victory over the New York Jets. Kincaid led the Bills in catches and targets but trailed running back Ray Davis in receiving yards. Establishing a run-heavy offense, the Bills opted to play two tight ends for most of the game. TE2 Dawson Knox saw plenty of snaps and was on the receiving end of one of Josh Allen's two touchdown passes. Kincaid's usage is encouraging given his sluggish start to the season, but slot receiver Khalil Shakir was barely involved in his first game back from an ankle injury. Kincaid will be a low-end TE1 next week against the Tennessee Titans.

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Ray Davis racked up 97 rushing and 55 receiving yards in the team's 23-20 win over the New York Jets. The rookie didn't get the start in place of the injured James Cook (toe). Veteran Ty Johnson registered Buffalo's first carry, but then it was all Davis. The fourth-round pick churned out chunk play after chunk play, totaling over 100 yards before halftime. The highlight play was when Davis came down with a contested catch on a 42-yard throw from Josh Allen. Davis finished with 20 carries and three receptions. While Davis filled in admirably for Cook, the starter should take command of the backfield when he's healthy. That could come on Sunday when the Bills host the Tennessee Titans. If not, Davis will be in the RB2 range.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw two touchdowns and rushed for another in the team's 23-20 win over the New York Jets on Monday Night Football. He totaled 215 passing and 18 rushing yards. Allen started the scoring for Buffalo with a one-yard sneak in the first quarter. He later connected with wide receiver Mack Hollins and tight end Dawson Knox for passing touchdowns later in the half. The Bills failed to find the endzone in the second half. On a day that the Bills were committed to the run, even without James Cook (toe), Allen turned a QB5 performance for the week. He's a must-start moving forward and draws the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) is officially active for the Monday night divisional showdown against the New York Jets to close out Week 6 action. Shakir injured his ankle in the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and did not play in last week's loss to the Houston Texans. Despite being listed as questionable to play, he'll make his return after a one-game absence and provide a much-needed boost to Buffalo's offense, which will be without top running back James Cook (toe) as the Bills look to end their two-game skid. When fully healthy, Shakir has operated as quarterback Josh Allen's top target so far this year, securing 18 of 19 targets for 230 yards and two touchdowns. However, it remains to be seen if he'll have a full workload coming off his ankle injury on Monday night. At potentially less than 100%, Shakir has a difficult matchup against a tough Jets secondary.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (toe), who was listed as questionable to play in Week 6 due to a painful toe injury, is officially inactive for the Monday night contest against the division-rival New York Jets. Cook is tough and wanted to tough it out, but instead the Bills will roll with rookie Ray Davis, Ty Johnson and rookie Frank Gore Jr. in their backfield against a tough Jets defense on the road. Fantasy managers that rolled the dice and left Cook in the starting lineups despite the questionable tag will need to pivot now and turn to either Davis or Johnson if they are available off the waiver wire. Cook didn't practice on Thursday or Friday last week but was limited on Saturday and was hoping to be able to suit up on Monday. He'll now be hoping to make more progress this week in order to play this upcoming Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
