Team news: Buffalo Bills | Page 5

Running back Ty Johnson is returning to the Bills on a two-year deal, per source.

Johnson emerged as a versatile third-down back for Buffalo, now gets rewarded.

Related Players: James Cook, Ray Davis

While Johnson isn't a fantasy asset on his own, his re-signing could block further playing time for sophomore Ray Davis. They will both continue to rotate in behind Cook, who consistently performed as a back-end RB1 in fantasy last season.

WR Dyami Brown to the Jaguars on a one-year $10 million deal worth up to $12 million.

Related Players: Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Gabe Davis

This is more likely to cut into Davis's snap share than it will create a fantasy commodity out of Brown. Even with this signing, the Jaguars could very well add another pass-catcher before Spring is over.

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.

Related Players: Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel

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.

Jaguars plan to release veteran WR Christian Kirk, per source.

Related Players: Brian Thomas Jr., Gabe Davis, Parker Washington

Kirk will look for new employment on an increasingly fertile WR free agent landscape after a disappointing 27-catch 2024 performance in which he logged only eight games. Brian Thomas Jr. is already appropriately earmarked for a WR1 season, but this certainly doesn't hurt things.

The Cowboys are shutting down CeeDee Lamb for the final two games. From the team:

"Additional examinations and scans this week on CeeDee Lamb’s shoulder have determined that his injury has now progressed to a point that he will be listed as "Out" for the remaining two games of the season.

"He will undergo a process of treatment and rehabilitation for his shoulder, is not currently expected to require surgery and is projected to make a full recovery."

Cooper Rush will be left with an interesting cast of characters here; none of which should be plugged into Championship lineups unless you're in a wildly deep league.

McDermott says TE Dalton Kincaid (knee), who was a listed as a full participant on Wed and Thurs, will be questionable for Sunday’s game vs. Detroit

Related Players: Dawson Knox

It's probably still best to start other options over Kincaid, if he plays, as the team 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.

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.

Injury report:
OUT
Ryan Bates
Elijah Hicks
Roschon Johnson

QUESTIONABLE
D.J. Moore
D'Andre Swift

Related Players: Travis Homer, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze

Is it Travis Homer season? It certainly seems possible, and he should be snatched up just in case for teams desperate at the RB position.

Allen and Odunze would both get a hefty bump to their floor outcomes if Moore were to miss, as well.

Raiders HC Antonio Pierce said QB Aidan O'Connell (illness) and WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) are "full go," will practice today and are on track to play against the Bucs on Sunday. They didn't practice yesterday.

Related Players: Tre Tucker, Terrace Marshall, Kristian Wilkerson

O'Connell can be left off starting lineups unless you're desperate for a QB streamer, but Meyers profiles as an intriguing low-end WR2 against a Buccaneers secondary that has allowed the league's highest schedule-adjusted fantasy points to the position.
