Josh Allen Throws Three Touchdowns in Week 15 Comeback Victory

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen staged yet another comeback victory on Sunday against the division-rival New England Patriots, completing 19 of 28 passes for 193 yards and three touchdowns while adding 11 carries for 48 yards as a runner. Allen and the Bills punted on their first three drives and spotted the Patriots a 21-0 lead in the first half, but the reigning MVP then led five consecutive touchdown drives as the Bills stormed back to win 35-31. The superstar quarterback found tight end Dawson Knox for two touchdowns and running back James Cook for the other. Allen has now compiled 444 passing yards, 126 rushing yards, and seven total touchdowns with zero turnovers in the past two games, building a legitimate case to repeat as the league's MVP. Allen will profile as the overall QB1 in fantasy football again in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns.

James Cook Dominates With Three Touchdowns in Week 15 Win

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook put up a dominant performance in his team's critical Week 15 win over its division rival, the New England Patriots, on Sunday. Cook recorded 22 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns, and two receptions for four yards and a score. The 26-year-old has now racked up 1,686 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 302 touches across 14 games this season. Cook has topped 100 scrimmage yards in five straight games and 11 out of 14 total contests in 2025. He also continues to dominate backfield touches in Buffalo, logging 22 of the team's 26 rushing attempts by running backs in Week 15. Cook profiles as a must-start fantasy running back heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Terrel Bernard Ruled Out for Week 15

Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard (elbow) is officially inactive this Sunday for a divisional matchup against the hosting New England Patriots. Bernard was listed as questionable for this weekend, but he will end up missing a third straight game due to his elbow injury. The 26-year-old's next chance to return will come in Week 16 on the road in Cleveland versus the Browns. Against the 11-2 Patriots, the Bills' defense/special teams unit is one to fade in fantasy football lineups in Week 15. With Bernard on the sidelines again on Sunday, Shaq Thompson will draw another start for the Bills at linebacker. In terms of fantasy points per game in IDP formats, Bernard ranks as the LB46 with 56 tackles (40 solo), seven tackles for loss, one interception, three pass breakups, and two fumble recoveries in 10 starts.

Joshua Palmer Returning for the Bills in Week 15

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) is officially active for the Week 15 game on Sunday in New England against the division-rival Patriots. With Palmer returning to action, Gabe Davis will be a healthy scratch for Buffalo. The 26-year-old Palmer will return to the WR rotation after missing the team's last two games. He'll provide a deep threat for quarterback Josh Allen, but fantasy managers should be looking elsewhere for a flex play this weekend. Palmer is unlikely to see much playing time behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Tyrell Shavers, and Brandin Cooks. Tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox will probably be more involved as well against a very capable Patriots defense. Palmer just hasn't made much noise at all in his first year in Buffalo in 2025, catching 18 of his 29 targets for 272 yards and zero touchdowns.

Dalton Kincaid Trustable Despite Part-Time Role

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has topped a 50% snap share only three times this season, and only once since Week 4, and yet he continues to be one of this season's most reliable tight end options. Even while missing four games over the course of the year, his five touchdown catches tie him for 6th at the position, as he has clearly become one of Josh Allen's most trusted redzone targets. In Week 15, the Bills face a Patriots defense that has allowed almost a full point above expectation to the tight end position and saw Kincaid gather all six of his targets for 108 yards when these teams last met in Week 5. Kincaid is RotoBaller's TE6 for the first round of the fantasy playoffs, and should be the Bills' most valuable pass catcher even if his snap count leaves something to be desired.

Matt Prater a Riskier Play Against Patriots in Week 15

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater has filled in admirably for Tyler Bass (hip, groin) this season, but he's not a must-start fantasy option for Week 15 against the New England Patriots. Prater hasn't scored double-digit fantasy points since Week 8, and he ranks as the overall K20 in total scoring through 14 weeks this season. To his credit, the veteran kicker has been mostly accurate, going 18-for-20 on field goals and 38-for-41 on extra points. However, with just 1.4 field goals per game and only one successful attempt from beyond 50 yards, Prater hasn't delivered very many high-scoring kicks. He'll also get a tougher matchup this week against the Patriots, who have allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2025. Furthermore, he'll face questionable weather conditions with cold temperatures and snow forecasted for Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Sunday afternoon. Prater ranks as the #14 kicker in RotoBaller's Week 15 fantasy football rankings. Managers in leagues with 12 or fewer teams can find better options to fill the kicker spot this week.

Tyrell Shavers • WR • Bills

Tyrell Shavers Tough to Trust in Week 15 Against Patriots

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers has been a consistent piece of the team's rotation at receiver this season. Shavers has played at least 20% of the snaps on offense in every game and has been closer to 50% over the last six games. The 26-year-old notched a career-high four receptions for 90 yards on five targets in Week 11, but has only one reception on one target for 16 yards in three games since. The second-year wideout doesn't have a reliable floor for targets in the Bills' low-volume passing offense, and he only profiles as a deep-league desperation flex option for Sunday's divisional matchup against the New England Patriots.

Gabe Davis a Long Shot to Produce in Week 15

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis has played in four games with the team this season after spending time on Injured Reserve due to a knee injury earlier in the season. Davis has played 53.8% of the offensive snaps, second-highest among Bills wideouts behind Khalil Shakir in that time, and has compiled seven receptions for 88 yards on 10 targets. The 26-year-old receiver is a trusted veteran who knows the Bills' offensive system and is a reliable blocker in the running game, which has earned him the right to be on the field more often than not. The floor for production isn't high for Davis in a spread-out and low-volume Bills passing attack, though, and he profiles as a deep-league flex option in Week 15 against the New England Patriots.

Joshua Palmer Profiles as Risky Option in Week 15 if he's Active

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) was limited every day in practice this week and heads into Sunday's divisional game against the New England Patriots listed as questionable. Palmer last suited up in the Week 12 Thursday night game against the Houston Texans, where he snagged two receptions for 21 yards on four targets. The 26-year-old has often been unavailable due to injury this season and hasn't emerged as a reliable option when he has been on the field. He's recorded exactly two receptions in each of the past five games he's played, and he's only surpassed 50 yards in two of eight games. Palmer is a tough player to trust in deeper leagues in Week 15 if he's active. If he's unable to go, Gabe Davis and Brandin Cooks would be in line to see more opportunities behind Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir.

Dalton Kincaid Offers Top-Five TE Upside in Week 15

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's matchup against the New England Patriots. Kincaid returned in Week 14 after missing three straight games due to a hamstring injury, and he hauled in four of his five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown. The 26-year-old tight end has been Buffalo's best weapon in the passing game this season, averaging a career-best 54.3 receiving yards per game, and he has already more than doubled his previous career high of two touchdowns in a season. Kincaid will look to stay hot on Sunday in a big game versus the Patriots, who rank 20th in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends.

Khalil Shakir • WR • Bills

Khalil Shakir Profiles as WR3 Option in Week 15 Against Patriots

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has been quiet over the recent stretch of games. Shakir broke out for a season-high eight receptions for 110 yards on 10 targets against the Texans in Week 12, but in three games since, he's totaled just four receptions for 18 yards on 10 targets. The 25-year-old wideout is the only Bills wide receiver to average double-digit PPR points per game this season. However, Shakir has become tough to trust with how run-heavy the Bills have become, in addition to how spread out they are in the passing game. He profiles as a mid-tier WR3/flex option in Week 15 against a New England Patriots defense that ranks in the middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers.

James Cook Faces Tough Test Against Elite Patriots Run Defense

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has handled 83 carries over his last four games, totaling 388 rushing yards and one touchdown while adding 11 receptions for 143 yards and another score. The 26-year-old ranks second in the NFL with 1,308 rushing yards, averaging 5.3 yards per carry. Cook faces a formidable challenge against a Patriots defense that ranks third in the league, allowing just 89.5 rushing yards per game and five rushing touchdowns all season. New England surrendered just 49 yards on 15 carries to Cook in their Week 5 meeting. Despite the difficult matchup, Cook's workhorse role remains secure with Ray Davis and Ty Johnson serving as change-of-pace options behind him. His 20.8 carries per game over the last month demonstrate elite volume, though modest receiving usage limits PPR upside against a stingy Patriots front. Cook ranks as RotoBaller's RB10 in PPR formats for Week 15.

Josh Allen Primed for Dual-Threat Dominance in Week 15

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen enters Week 15 in elite form after posting 944 passing yards with seven touchdowns across his last four games while adding 176 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns on the ground. The 29-year-old has been particularly dangerous in the red zone, accounting for 12 total touchdowns over the past month. Allen faces a Patriots defense that ranks middle-tier against opposing quarterbacks, allowing 220 passing yards per game and 23 touchdown passes through 14 games. The Bills' receiving corps has stabilized around Khalil Shakir, Gabe Davis, and Tyrell Shavers, with Dalton Kincaid expected back from his month-long absence. The matchup at Gillette Stadium sets up favorably for Allen's aggressive downfield approach, as New England's secondary has generated just six interceptions this season. Allen's dual-threat upside, combined with consistent volume, makes him a must-start, ranking as RotoBaller's QB1 for Week 15.

Joey Bosa • DE • Bills

Joey Bosa Returning for the Bills on Sunday

Buffalo Bills defensive end Joey Bosa (hamstring, wrist) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Friday and has been removed from the Week 15 injury report. He will be active on Sunday when the team takes on the division-rival New England Patriots on the road. The 30-year-old was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Bosa missed one game due to hamstring and wrist injuries, but he'll return this weekend for a big divisional clash as the Bills look to slow down the 11-2 Pats and split the season series. Getting Bosa back is great news for the Bills' defense, but they are still a defensive unit to avoid in fantasy football in Week 15 against a super-efficient New England offense that has limited their turnovers this year. Bosa has a total of 26 tackles (15 solo) and five sacks on the year in 12 games in his first year in Buffalo.

Joshua Palmer Questionable to Play in Week 15

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is considered questionable to play in Week 15 versus the division-rival New England Patriots on Sunday, according to Maddy Glab of BuffaloBills.com. Palmer last played for the Bills in Week 12. Even if the 26-year-old is cleared to play this weekend, fantasy managers in deeper leagues should keep him on their benches. Palmer just has not been involved enough in Buffalo's offense in his first year with the team, catching 18 passes for 272 yards and no touchdowns on 29 targets over eight games played. He has yet to find the end zone and has gone over 50 receiving yards in a game in 2025 only twice. If Palmer misses another game, Gabe Davis and Brandin Cooks have a better chance of contributing behind Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman.

Joshua Palmer Remains Limited in Practice on Thursday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) is listed as a limited practice participant with an ankle injury for the second straight day on Thursday. Palmer has missed two consecutive games due to the ailment, and his status appears to be in question for Buffalo's critical Week 15 matchup against the New England Patriots. Across eight games played in 2025, the 26-year-old has recorded 18 receptions for 272 yards on 29 targets. While Palmer does not profile as a fantasy-relevant wideout even if active, his status could affect the target share and playing time for Bills wide receivers Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Tyrell Shavers. Unless he can practice in full on Friday, Palmer appears likely to head into the weekend with a questionable designation.

Joshua Palmer Limited in Practice on Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) is listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg reports. Palmer has missed the past two games with injuries to his knee and ankle, in addition to missing several games earlier in the season. The 26-year-old hasn't been an impactful fantasy football option when he has played, recording 18 receptions for 272 yards on 29 targets in eight games. The former Los Angeles Chargers wideout appears to be trending in the right direction for a return in Week 15 against the New England Patriots, but he should only be considered a fantasy option in the deepest of leagues.

Josh Allen Totals Four Touchdowns in Win Over Bengals

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 22 of his 28 pass attempts for 251 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also rushed the ball nine times for an additional 78 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. Allen led three consecutive touchdown drives to erase a 10-point deficit and pull ahead by multiple possessions. This was one of Allen's best games of 2025, and it erased the bitter feeling of amassing just two touchdowns and three turnovers over his last two contests. The 29-year-old continues to rank as the top-scoring quarterback in fantasy football this season, and he remains a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into Week 15 against the New England Patriots. He had two passing touchdowns and 53 rushing yards in his last outing against the Patriots.

Joshua Palmer Officially Inactive for Week 14

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. His absence was expected after he didn't practice this past week, and he was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend. Injuries have limited Palmer to just eight games in his first season with the Bills, and he has been underwhelming with just 18 catches, 272 yards, and zero touchdowns. Even when healthy, he's not a reliable fantasy football option. In Palmer's absence, Gabe Davis and Brandin Cooks should earn more volume in the passing game behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Tyrell Shavers.

Dalton Kincaid Suiting Up Against Bengals

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Kincaid returns from a three-game absence and will reclaim his role atop the depth chart. He has a fantastic opportunity to produce this week against a Bengals team that has been historically poor when defending opposing tight ends. In fact, the Bengals have allowed the most catches, receiving yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points to tight ends in 2025. Assuming Kincaid is healthy enough to handle a full or near-full workload, he'll be a mid-range TE1 with high-end upside. He's not a lock to play a full dose of snaps, but even if he's limited, this matchup is too favorable not to take advantage of. Kincaid should be started in all fantasy leagues.
