Team news: Buffalo Bills | Page 6

Bills coach Sean McDermott rules out TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) for Sunday night's game vs. the 49ers, while LB Matt Milano (biceps) is questionable. If he's going to play, he'd have to be activated.

Related Players: Dawson Knox

This puts Knox back in the TE streaming streets after he has handled exactly 40 yards in back-to-back games. Consider him around TE15 territory for Week 13.

Long list here, but this is what I’ve gathered:

Guys I expect to play: Brandin Cooks, CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, Cooper Rush

Guys I don’t expect to play: Jake Ferguson, Caelen Carson (possible IR), Zack Martin, Asim Richards

Gonna be close: Trevon Diggs, Eric Kendricks, Marshawn Kneeland

Related players: Luke Schoonmaker

Ferguson didn't practice Tuesday and remains in protocol, while Rush and Lamb both logged limited sessions. Cooks was also limited. Harris expects Rush, Lamb and Cooks to all play on Thanksgiving against the Giants. If Ferguson is out, Schoonmaker makes for a nice option as a replacement TE in fantasy lineups.

Jones said there’s a good chance Brandin Cooks and Tyler Smith will be able to play Thursday. Trevon Diggs also has a chance. It’s “a little more of a long shot” for Zack Martin and Jake Ferguson.

Related players: CeeDee Lamb, Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks, KaVontae Turpin, Luke Schoonmaker

Cooks practiced last week but ended up not playing in Week 12. Ferguson is in protocol and it seems like the early week game will keep him out once again. Lamb collected 12 targets to lead the team by far against the Commander and Schoonmaker and Tolbert each had four. It's no lock that Cooks steps right into a big role, even in a good matchup against the Giants on Thanksgiving. Schoonmaker would be worth a start for those needing TE help.

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

Related Players: Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, Derius Davis

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

D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Vikings with a groin injury, though he was limited Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Keenan Allen is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited on Friday, his first day on the participation report.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Separate reports called Swift "very likely" to play, but this is seemingly a new issue for Allen.

If Keenan were to miss Week 12, it would boost the floor of all pass-catchers, namely Moore, Oduzne, and Cole Kmet. Moore + Odunze would sneak closer to WR2 territory than their low-end WR3 designations they have with a healthy Allen.

Mike McCarthy said he's hoping Cowboys will get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back this week.

Cooper Rush will get the start at QB again against the Commanders in Week 12. CeeDee Lamb led the way with 12 targets vs. the Texans, but it was Luke Schoonmaker, who took over after Jake Ferguson left with a concussion, who had 10 targets which was most behind Lamb. The addition of Cooks should help the Cowboys offense in what is a good matchup against the Commanders defense. For the fantasy world, Rush did end up throwing for 354 yards.

Forgotten moment from yesterday in the aftermath of the worst loss in franchise history: Jaguars WR Gabe Davis left the locker room on crutches with his left leg in a brace. Suffered a knee injury during the game against Lions.

Related players: Brian Thomas Jr., Christian Kirk, Parker Washington, Austin Trammell, Tim Jones, Elijah Cooks, Devin Duvernay

UPDATE: It's been reported Davis has a torn meniscus. It hasn't yet been determined if Davis will need a trim or a full repair, according to reports. Pro Football Talk reports Davis would be done for the season needing a full repair. However, with the Jags at 2-9 and coming off a horrible loss to the Lions, there is really no need to bring Davis back. It looks like Thomas will remain the team's top target at WR but with Kirk and Davis now potentially done for the year, Washington moves up the depth chart.

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.

Related Players: Dawson Knox, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel

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.

Related players: Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel

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.

JuJu Smith-Schuster won't play Sunday against Broncos for third straight game. No surprise since he didn't practice this week

Related Players: DeAndre Hopkins, Xavier Worthy, Mecole Hardman, Justin Watson

Looks like it'll be another lost week for JuJu, which puts both Worthy (low) and Hopkins (high) on the WR3 radar against the Denver secondary.
