Bills HC Sean McDermott adds that TE Dalton Kincaid and WR Joshua Palmer will be limited today and questionable for Sunday

Related Players: Dawson Knox, Khalil Shakir, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers

Not trending well for Kincaid to return this weekend, but Knox can still be left on waiver wires.

Shakir remains the only reliable option in the passing attack, and should be considered on the WR2/3 fringe in a good matchup against the Steelers' secondary.

Bills WR Keon Coleman is, once again, officially inactive for tonight's game against the Texans.

Coleman, who is, for all intents and purposes an NFL player, will hang out on the sideline for the second week in a row. This sets up well for a big Shakir game, but so did last week, and he turned three targets into -3 yards. It's fine to go back to the well here if you consider him in the fringe WR3/4 range, but it would be hard to trust anyone behind him. Knox is somewhere in the TE20 range with Dalton Kincaid out.

Bills announced they have ruled out TE Dalton Kincaid, WR Curtis Samuel and WR Mecole Hardman Jr. for Thursday night’s game vs. Houston.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said on WGR-AM that TE Dalton Kincaid and DT Phidarian Mathis are OUT vs. the Buccaneers.

WR Khalil Shakir is "heading in the right direction and should be in a good spot for the game." That's a bit of a surprise.

This puts Knox in deep-league streaming territory, but there should be some more readily available options on the waiver wire.

As for the WR room, it would be tough to say who would absorb a lot of the underneath work if Shakir were to miss. It's not exactly Coleman's specialty, but we could see him performing as a WR3 with a couple extra targets.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said DT DaQuan Jones is "week-to-week" with a calf injury. WR Joshua Palmer is also "week-to-week" with an ankle injury. LB Matt Milano, WR Curtis Samuel and TE Dalton Kincaid is "day-to-day."

Kinkaid was a game-time call before being ruled out for Monday Night Football. One can assume Kincaid was close to going this past week, but with the team on a bye in Week 7 it likely played a factor in him sitting out. Week 8 looks looks like a solid bet for his return.

Bills WR Khalil Shakir, who suffered a high ankle sprain in practice a month ago, was listed as full participant today on the season's initial injury report. WR Keon Coleman (groin) was limited.

The whole Bills wide receiver room feels like a stay-away to begin the season, but Shakir should sneak himself back into WR3/4 consideration now that he's fully cleared. He'll need some more splash plays to be truly fantasy relevant, but he's in a good situation as a floor play against a Ravens team that could force a shootout. We'll keep an eye on Coleman's status, but he's more of a boom-bust option if he suits up.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said he’s being told as of now that WR Khalil Shakir should be on pace to return for the start of the season.

Shakir is dealing with a high ankle sprain.

It would be fantastic news if Shakir were able to suit up to kick off the season, as we're still expecting him to pace the team in targets. If he has a fully healthy season, there are signs pointing to a potential true breakout, making him an intriguing WR3 at a WR4 price. That all depends on volume though, so any missed time makes him a less valuable pick due to a lack of "blow-up" games.

On his first day back at camp, Keon Coleman was in a prominent role again, working with Allen and the first-team offense heavily, though he failed to deliver on several opportunities.

During team drills, Coleman had four targets result in no receptions. The first was against second-team cornerback Dane Jackson, with Jackson sticking on Coleman the whole way and not allowing a catch opportunity. Coleman later had two reps against top cornerback Benford, with Benford breaking up both passes in contested opportunities. Then, near the end, Coleman had a chance to catch a pass along the sideline against Tre’Davious White, only for White to break up the pass.

Buscaglia goes on to hit on Coleman's lack of separation, which had been an issue through the receiver's rookie season as well. If the sophomore continues to struggle, we could once again see him in a rotation, which will sap any sort of consistent fantasy production. Shakir's role is already locked in, but Palmer, a free agent addition, could end up seeing enough work to make him an interesting late-round dart throw.

Former Chargers WR Josh Palmer, who has been a big name in free agency, lands with the Bills.

A new weapon for the MVP. It’s a 3-year deal worth $36M with $18M guaranteed.

We'll see whether Buffalo brings back Mack Hollins and/or Amari Cooper, but this is about as good of a landing spot as you could ask for Palmer. He could be an interesting stackable option in best ball leagues, but it's hard to see him as more than a WR4 in typical leagues.

Ladd McConkey (shoulder) is back at Chargers practice today.

McConkey looks like he will suit up, which puts him in a great spot as a fantasy WR2 against the Baltimore Ravens' secondary.
