Tyler Bass A Solid Kicking Option For Week 16

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass is worth starting in most fantasy football leagues ahead of his matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 16. The 27-year-old ranks ninth in fantasy points among kickers this year, going 50-for-54 on extra points and 21-for-26 on field goals. Even amidst some accuracy concerns on field goals, Bass has been able to rack up the scoring with an excessively high number of extra points. He has drilled 17 extra points over his last three games as the Bills continue to find the end zone at a rapid pace. That should continue this week against the New England Patriots. While New England ranks near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to kickers this year, they have surrendered an average of 2.7 touchdowns per game (eighth-most in the NFL), which means that scoring opportunities won't be too hard to come by for Bass. He should be deployed as a top-10 kicker in Week 16.

Dalton Kincaid Looking For A Rare TE1 Finish

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) has not enjoyed the second-year breakout predicted by many. Through a three-game absence and underwhelming play, Kincaid is the current TE23. The knee injury that cost him time keeps him on the injury report, but there aren't any concerns about Kincaid missing more time. The New England defense is average against tight ends, so the matchup isn't anything to worry about. However, the Bills are favored by 14 points, which could lead to a reliance on the ground game. Kincaid is just outside the TE1 range this week and fantasy managers could look elsewhere given his lack of production.

Keon Coleman Carries Risk Into New England Matchup

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman was quiet in all but one play (a 64-yard reception) against the Detroit Lions. Despite his lackluster usage, the rookie was on the field for 63% of the snaps in his first game back from a wrist injury. That was more than any other Buffalo receiver. Coleman may play the most but Buffalo often rotates their receivers and Josh Allen spreads the football around. Khalil Shakir, who mans the slot, is the most reliable of the group. The Bills are favored by 14 points, which could lead to more rushing attempts rather than downfield throws, an area where Coleman shines. The second-round pick is in the WR5 range in the rankings this week.

Khalil Shakir Provides Safe Floor Against New England

If you want consistency, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir will deliver. Buffalo's slot receiver has failed to reach double-digit PPR fantasy points twice: Once in his first game back from an ankle injury and once in a snowstorm. That's led to Shakir's current standing as the WR25. He has a target share north of 23% and maintains his status as Josh Allen's favorite wide receiver. A blowout will be the primary concern for Shakir's fantasy managers. The Bills are a 14-point home favorite and could take their foot off the gas earlier than usual. Shakir ranks as a low-end, but safe, WR2.

Amari Cooper Brings Risk To Fantasy Football Lineups In Week 16

It's safe to call Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) a risky fantasy football option in the team's matchup against the New England Patriots. The veteran earned 14 targets in a shootout versus Los Angeles two weeks ago. He followed that up with zero targets against Detroit in another shootout. Rookie Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid returned to the lineup last week and created more competition for targets. Cooper has been a part-time player since his arrival in upstate New York, often playing fewer snaps than Khalil Shakir, Coleman, and Mack Hollins. Cooper could also see a lot of star cornerback Christian Gonzalez on Sunday. There are no concerns about his wrist injury, but fantasy managers shouldn't trust Cooper in lineups this weekend.

James Cook Shouldn’t Be Slowed Down By New England In Week 16

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is a must-start RB1 for this weekend's fantasy football playoffs. The 25-year-old bounced back against Detroit last week (133 yards, two touchdowns) after a disappointing affair two weeks ago in Los Angeles (29 yards). Cook takes his momentum into a home matchup against New England. The Patriots have fielded a below-average rush defense all season. The Bills are favored by 14 points, which could lead to more rushing attempts for Cook and his backfield mates, Ray Davis and Ty Johnson.

Josh Allen Should Continue His Dominant Stretch Against New England

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.

Curtis Samuel Questionable To Face Patriots

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.

Curtis Samuel Limited In Walkthrough

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.

Mack Hollins Catches Just One Pass In Week 15

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.

Keon Coleman Catches One Long Pass Against Detroit

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.

Dalton Kincaid Catches Four Passes In Return

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.

Khalil Shakir Scores Short Touchdown In Detroit

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.

Amari Cooper Blanked In Week 15 Shootout

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.

James Cook Runs For 100 Yards, Scores Twice In Detroit

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.

Bills Lean On Ty Johnson Through The Air In Win Over Detroit

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.

Josh Allen Goes Nuclear Again, Post-Game X-Rays Come Back Clean

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (shoulder) completed 23-of-34 passes for 362 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's thrilling 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions. He added another two scores and 68 yards on 11 carries. Wow. The 28-year-old again put on a show, leading his team to a convincing victory on the road against one of the league's better defensive units. Per ESPN's Jeff Darlington, Allen had X-rays performed on him after the game due to concern over a "funky fall." However, they came back negative, and there's reportedly no reason for concern. The former first-round pick has been incredible over his last two contests, combining for 854 yards and ten total touchdowns. For reference -- the Denver Broncos racked up 193 yards as a team today in four quarters. Allen and the Bills get a meeting with the Patriots next Sunday in Week 16.

Khalil Dorsey, Carlton Davis III Won't Return Versus The Bills

Detroit Lions cornerbacks Khalil Dorsey (ankle) and Carlton Davis III (jaw) won't return to Sunday's meeting with the Buffalo Bills. Davis left to receive a concussion evaluation along with his jaw injury. As a result, Dorsey entered the contest, although he didn't last long before taking a big hit. With the Lions down two players from the secondary, the team will need to get creative the rest of the way, considering the Detroit defense has had issues slowing down the Bills offense through the first half.

Dalton Kincaid Active For Week 15

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is officially active for Week 15 against the Detroit Lions. He had been listed as questionable, but the expectation was that he'd be able to play on Sunday. The second-year tight end has had an underwhelming season, ranking as the overall TE26 in fantasy football with his 34 catches, 456 yards, and two touchdowns. When healthy, he ranks as a mid-to-high TE2. Managers in 12-team leagues can likely find a better option than Kincaid this week.

Tyler Bass  • K  •  Bills

Tyler Bass Should Remain Busy In Week 15

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass hasn't made a field goal in two weeks, but continues to remain involved. Bass has made 11 extra point attempts over his last two games, but is 0-for-1 on field goal attempts. The Bills offense keeps scoring on their red zone trips which has limited the value of Bass. The expectation is that Bass is going to have a heavy workload in Week 15. He heads into a matchup with the Detroit Lions that is likely to be a high-scoring affair. Fantasy managers who have Bass rostered should feel comfortable starting him this week.
