Buffalo Bills

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has strung together nine straight games of over 20 fantasy points. There's optimism the streak will extend to 10 games when the MVP favorite takes the field against the New England Patriots. Before last week, the Patriots were the worst defense against fantasy football quarterbacks over the last month. The Bills are 14-point favorites on Sunday afternoon, which could take the football out of Allen's hands earlier than the final whistle. However, Allen runs plenty and should score a QB1's worth of fantasy points before any potential blowout. He's the top-ranked quarterback this week.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (rib) is officially questionable to play against the New England Patriots in Week 16. He had been limited in practice. The 28-year-old has offered a solid veteran presence in his depth role, but not enough to justify rostering him in fantasy football. After all, he continues to operate behind Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, Keon Coleman, and Mack Hollins. Even if he's active this Sunday, Samuel, who has just 201 yards and one touchdown through 13 games, can be left on fantasy waivers.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (shoulder) logged a limited session in Wednesday's team walkthrough. The 28-year-old sustained a shoulder injury in Week 15's win over the Detroit Lions in the fourth quarter. Samuel caught just 1-of-2 targets for one yard on 27% of snaps in the 48-42 victory. It was one of his lower snap share figures in 2024 and evidently related to his ailment. Buffalo is slated to meet with their division-rival New England Patriots this Sunday, and though the eighth-year veteran still has a chance to suit up, it'd bode well for him to be able to get in a full practice. He'll have two more tries to do so. Even if the former second-round pick plays, he's too difficult to trust for fantasy as a low-volume option on the Bills' offense.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins snapped a two-game touchdown streak in the 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions on the road in Week 15 on Sunday. Hollins was targeted just three times in the high-scoring affair and was able to come down with one grab for a gain of seven yards. The dud performance coincided with both rookie wideout Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid returning from their respective injuries. Coleman and Kincaid combined for five catches on nine targets. Meanwhile, running back Ty Johnson surprisingly led the team with five receptions for 114 yards through the air. The 31-year-old Hollins had five catches on seven targets for 64 yards and two touchdowns the previous two games, but that may be the high point of his production this year now that Coleman and Kincaid are healthy. Hollins is a nice red-zone target, but he won't be a recommended flex play moving forward.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman caught one pass for 64 yards in the team's 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions. The rookie only saw two targets in his first game since Week 9. His lone reception came on a deep completion after a Josh Allen scramble drill. Unfortunately, Coleman wasn't more involved, given the 559 offensive yards that Buffalo racked up. Just nine of Allen's 23 completions were to wide receivers as the coaching staff utilized several running backs and tight ends. With how Allen shares the love on offense, Coleman will be difficult to trust in Week 16 against the New England Patriots.
