The Buffalo Bills pulled off a thrilling come-from-behind preseason win in primetime over the Pittsburgh Steelers
Buffalo Bills rookie Skyler Bell is dealing with a groin injury, which may impact his immediate impact on the team
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is attempting to earn himself a starting role during the preseason. The third-year wideout got off to a nice start during the first preseason contest against the Carolina Panthers. Coleman snagged three of his four targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in the victory. His score came on a nine-yard pass from Josh Allen in the first quarter. The 23-year-old is trying to beat out Joshua Palmer and rookie Skyler Bell for the WR3 role in Buffalo this upcoming season. It's a small sample size, but Coleman appears to be building chemistry with Allen. He probably won't be a focal point in the offense, but Coleman could be worth a stash for dynasty managers willing to take a chance on him
Keon Coleman's solid training camp performance may revive his dynasty league prospects
Joshua Palmer has had productive practices in Buffalo Bills training camp
Joshua Palmer is reportedly making plays at Buffalo Bills training camp after dealing with injuries last season. With Keon Coleman struggling and D.J. Moore and Khalil Shakir ahead of him, Palmer could compete for the WR3 role and significant snaps, making him a potential late-round target in deep leagues
Drops: Joshua Palmer
Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Skyler Bell is currently positioned behind the team's top four wideouts, D.J. Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer. Despite generating some training camp hype and being a roster lock, Bell might be a healthy scratch to start the season, suggesting fantasy managers might want to avoid him unless his role significantly improves
Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Skyler Bell tested well at the NFL Combine, which earned him a fourth-round pick in the NFL draft. He ranked in the 91st percentile in the 40-yard dash, 98th percentile in the burst score, 95th percentile in the agility score, and 96th percentile in catch radius. In his final year at UConn, he burst onto the scene, hauling in 101 of his 144 targets for 1,278 yards (12.7 yards per catch) and 13 touchdowns. He finds himself playing with one of, if not the best, quarterbacks in the NFL in Josh Allen. Bell finds himself in a crowded wide receiver room and will be competing for targets between 29-year-old DJ Moore, 26-year-old Khalil Shakir, 26-year-old Joshua Palmer, and 23-year-old Keon Coleman. With Coleman finding himself in the doghouse multiple times in 2025 and looking like a bust after being drafted 33rd overall in the 2024 draft, Bell could work his way into the third wide receiver option for Allen. That being said, Bell profiles as more of a Z receiver, moving around and lining up in the slot, which profiles similarly to Shakir's game, and Shakir is one of Allen's go-to targets. Allen has been known to distribute the wealth amongst all his pass catchers in his career, and reports from camp have suggested that the Bills want to get superstar James Cook III more involved in the passing game as well. Bell profiles as a dynasty stash for the time being
Joshua Palmer could benefit from an improved Bills WR group
Drops: Joshua Palmer
The Buffalo Bills are facing another season with high expectations, as former NFL MVP Josh Allen looks to finally lead the Bills to the franchise’s first Super Bowl in 2026. Entering a pressure-packed season, Brandon Beane finally did what many Bills fans have been demanding for a few years now: he went out and acquired veteran wide receiver DJ Moore in a trade with the Chicago Bears , hoping a reunion with Joe Brady, Moore’s offensive coordinator with the Carolina Panthers , will help Moore rediscover his ways as a 1,000-yard receiving threat. With Moore in the mix, Allen will now have Moore, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer , Keon Coleman and rookie Skyler Bell in the wide receiver room, joining tight ends Dalton Kincaid , Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes as the weapons available to Allen in the passing game. Has Beane done enough to improve Buffalo’s aerial attack? Can Moore bounce back from his worst season as a pro and become Buffalo’s first 1,000-yard receiver since Stefon Diggs during the 2023 season? Is this the year Kincaid realizes his full potential and stays healthy for an entire season? Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks attempts to answer some of those questions and leads off by previewing the state of Buffalo’s wide receivers and tight ends heading into the 2026 season. Check out the assessments and then be sure to leave your thoughts on how much talent is in Buffalo’s wide receivers and tight ends in the comments section. We preview Buffalo’s wide receivers—including what Moore brings to the passing game and whether Coleman can finally enjoy a breakout season—and dissect Buffalo’s tight ends, including why Kincaid is the X-factor to unlocking the Bills offense and how Kincaid, Knox and Hawes give the Bills a talented group of tight ends. Plus, discussing how Joe Brady will adjust to his new role as both head coach and offensive play caller; and how new offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. will aid Brady and improve Buffalo’s offense.

Is this veteran set for a bounceback year, or will the Bills pay him to leave?
Joshua Palmer, WR for the Buffalo Bills, is returning from an ankle injury that hampered his previous season. Despite feeling better and participating in minicamp, his fantasy redraft appeal remains low due to a crowded receiving corps including DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and rookie Skyler Bell. Palmer has struggled to surpass 600 receiving yards in his five-year career, and is currently ranked WR105 in PPR leagues by RotoBaller, making him a deep-format player at best
Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Skyler Bell was one of the most productive pass-catchers in college football in 2025, recording 101 catches for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns across 13 games at the University of Connecticut. After being drafted in the fourth round this past April by Buffalo, Bell has a chance to emerge as an immediate contributor in the NFL. The Bills added veteran wideout DJ Moore over the offseason to a wide receiver corps that also features Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, and Keon Coleman. However, Buffalo has been searching for high-impact wide receiver talent for the last several seasons. If Bell proves that he can be a difference-maker with a strong showing this summer, the Bills' incumbent wide receiver options will not hold him back from seeing the field. As the WR106 by current redraft ADP, Bell is a late-round sleeper for fantasy managers to target entering 2026
Buffalo Bills fans are gearing up for a big training camp battle between wide receivers Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer, and Skyler Bell
A meaningless game at the end of the regular season appears to have acted as a showcase spot for a now second-year receiver. The Bills claimed Quentin Skinner off waivers, the team announced, after the Jets released the 2025 undrafted pass catcher from Kansas. The Bills released receiver Deven Thompkins in a corresponding move. Skinner, 24, was a three-year starter for Kansas after walking on and put up decent numbers for the Jayhawks, posting 1,584 yards and 11 touchdowns over three seasons. He also led the Big 12 in yards per catch in 2024. He has just one official catch for 10 yards in his NFL career, a ball he caught in the last game of the season against the Bills, thrown by Brady Cook . He also caught a two-point conversion in that game. Skinner, who was released for the second time this offseason by the Jets on Monday, stands at 6-foot-5 and 195 pounds and runs a 4.52 40-yard dash. The Bills are remaking their receiver room this offseason after trading with the Bears for DJ Moore . The veteran now tops the depth chart for a position that was a weakness for Buffalo last season. Keon Coleman , who was drafted at the top of the second round in the 2024 NFL Draft, has been a disappointment to this point. It is unclear whether Coleman will even start this year, as Moore will start outside, with Khalil Shakir expected to be the slot receiver and Joshua Palmer projected to be the other outside wideout. Skinner will likely be in a fight just to make the Bills roster. The Jets roster includes star Garrett Wilson , Adonai Mitchell and rookie newcomer Omar Cooper Jr. as targets for returning quarterback Geno Smith . The Jets also have rookie Kenyon Sadiq listed as their starting tight end on their latest projected depth chart. Josh Allen and the Bills are the favorites to win the AFC East, and the Patriots are coming off a Super Bowl appearance and are expected to be formidable again
Last year, with Joe Brady as offensive coordinator, the Buffalo Bills once again featured one of the NFL’s most prolific offenses. Josh Allen directed a Buffalo offense that ranked fourth in points scored per game (28.3) and fourth in total offense (376.3 yards/game), and boasted James Cook and the league’s best rushing attack (2,714 yards with 30 rushing touchdowns). This offseason, Brady was promoted to head coach for the first time in his coaching career, and he will continue to call the plays on offense for a team that once again has Super Bowl aspirations. Bills fans are wondering what changes could be in store for the offense this year, and today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining how Buffalo’s offense could differ from the 2025 version. One of the staples of Sean McDermott’s Bills during the 2025 season was running the ball on first down. No team ran the ball more on first down than Buffalo, which, led by James Cook, posted 38 carries of 10-plus yards on first down last season. Cook would go on to claim the league’s rushing title (rushing 309 times for 1,621 yards and 12 touchdowns in the regular season) and the Bills finished second in the league in first-down rushing success rate. The Bills once again will rely on Cook to power their rushing attack, but their offensive line is undergoing some changes, with left guard David Edwards leaving for the New Orleans Saints via free agency and either Alec Anderson or Austin Corbett taking over at left guard. Brandon Beane also went out and acquired veteran wide receiver DJ Moore and drafted wideout Skyler Bell to give Allen more offensive weapons to go with Khalil Shakir , Dalton Kincaid , Joshua Palmer , Keon Coleman . With Brady in charge, will the Bills continue to run the ball as much on first down, or will Brady let Josh Allen open up the attack and throw the ball more in early-down situations? We discuss what Joe Brady’s offense could look like in his first season as head coach, including whether the Bills might utilize Cook more as a pass catcher; projecting Moore’s ceiling in the offense; discussing what role the fullback could play; and more!

Joshua Palmer, despite being healthy for minicamp, has a bleak dynasty outlook due to a poor first season in Buffalo and increased competition. With new additions and established players, Palmer's role and production are unlikely to significantly improve, making him a low-value asset for dynasty leagues
Stephen Gosnell, a 24-year-old wide receiver, signed with the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2025. He spent last season on the practice squad after being waived in preseason and has a reserve/future contract for 2026. Gosnell is competing for a roster spot among a crowded group of 14 wide receivers
