Shane Buechele Fantasy Stats

Buffalo Bills quarterback Shane Buechele turned in the team's best passing performance of the preseason in a 23-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. The 27-year-old demonstrated pinpoint accuracy throughout the night, completing 25 of his 30 attempts for 278 yards and a touchdown. He also used his mobility to his advantage and added another 20 yards on five rushes. Buechele played the entire game with the Bills' top three QBs - Josh Allen, Mitchell Trubisky, and Mike White - on the sideline. Trubisky and White have spent the summer battling for the No. 2 job, a role Buechele stands little to no chance of winning. His best bet to stay in the organization for a third straight year may be via the practice squad. Buechele was on Buffalo's practice squad in 2023, and he spent last year on Injured Reserve after suffering a neck injury in the preseason.

According to Alec White of the team, the Buffalo Bills have re-signed quarterback Shane Buechele (neck) to a one-year deal. The Texas native spent the entirety of the 2024 season on injured reserve with a neck injury he sustained in the preseason and was previously a member of the Bills' practice squad in 2023. Buechele went undrafted out of SMU in 2021 and was signed by Kansas City, though he never recorded a snap. He'd then get a year off in 2022 before finding his way to Buffalo the following season. The 27-year-old's collegiate profile is nothing of note, brandishing one season with more than 3,100 passing yards and 23 touchdowns. However, his familiarity with Buffalo's system makes him a valuable emergency option should anything happen to the players ahead of him. He'll now attempt to work his way to their 53-man roster in 2025.

The Bills added quarterback Shane Buechele to the practice squad. The 25-year-old, who threw for 349 yards and three touchdowns during the preseason, spent the last two seasons in Kansas City after going undrafted in 2021. However, he didn't appear in any regular season contests. Buechele likely won't see the field in Buffalo anytime soon, so he's not worth anything to fantasy managers. But with Matt Barkley (elbow) recently released, Buechele could suit up if Josh Allen or Kyle Allen goes down with an injury at some point during the year.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Shane Buechele ended the preseason on a high note, going 11-for-17 with 166 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Packers. Buechele's an intriguing player. He obviously won't beat out Patrick Mahomes at the quarterback position, but he made a solid push this preseason for the backup job, though veteran Chad Henne is still the most likely player to claim that role.
