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.

WR Keon Coleman is good to go for Sunday and return to the lineup.

Related Players: Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel

Coleman and Cooper are in the boom/bust WR4 range, as Shakir should continue standing atop the target share.

Good news on the way for Buffalo: Bills WR Keon Coleman (wrist) and TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) are expected to practice fully today. A positive step forward in advance of the showdown with the Lions.

It's probably still best to start other options over Kincaid, as he takes on a Lions defense that ranks 4th in TE aFPA, but there could be a ton of points here, so if you're in a bind he makes sense as a top-15ish option.

As for Coleman, he's more in the boom/bust WR4 range as Shakir should continue standing atop the target share.

Dalton Kincaid (knee) WILL NOT play against the Chiefs, Sean McDermott announces on WGR 550.

Spencer Brown (ankle) and Amari Cooper (wrist) are both questionable.

Knox gets boosted up into tight end streamer territory, in a good matchup against the Chiefs, who have been susceptible to the position.

Shakir should be considered an interesting WR3 regardless, but gets a boost to his projections should Cooper miss another week.

Sean McDermott says Bills WR Keon Coleman will not play Sunday against Kansas City.

It was possible that Coleman was going to miss multiple weeks of action with the wrist injury and that's now already confirmed. It's the second-straight week Coleman will be out. The Bills are hoping to get back Cooper this week, but if they don't Shakir and Hollins will be the top WRs with Samuel likely also involved. Hollins had a 4-86-0 line with Shakir collecting a 6-58-0 line in Week 10 against the Colts.
