Bills WR Keon Coleman appeared to suffer a right hand or wrist injury late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win over the Dolphins. He took a huge hit from S Jordan Poyer, who was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the play. There hasn’t been an update from the team on Coleman, but we’ll look for one tomorrow.
Bills WR Amari Cooper is inactive for today’s home game against Miami. Cooper was listed as questionable after putting in limited practices all week. Without the veteran, Buffalo will rely on Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir, and Keon Coleman. Shakir and Coleman are WR3s with upside, while Kincaid projects as a top-10 TE. Meanwhile, Curtis Samuel is active. He remains off the fantasy radar.
Bills LB Terrel Bernard practiced in full Friday and carries no designation on the final injury report. That means he's ready to face the Dolphins after missing last week's game at Seattle. I just updated Bernard's projection to boost him way up the Week 9 LB rankings. His return will mean no Baylon Spector in the lineup.
Bills WR Amari Cooper (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins. He was limited in practice all week, so we’re expecting him to play. But the wrist adds more risk to a guy who still hasn’t reached full playing time with his new team.
Bills WR Amari Cooper (wrist) was limited in Wednesday's practice. HC Sean McDermott said earlier in the day that Cooper wouldn't practice at all, but he evidently felt good enough to get out there. We'll keep an eye on this wrist issue, but Cooper should be available for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins.
Bills RB James Cook had a career game against the Seahawks running the ball 17 times for 111 yards and two TDs. He also caught all three targets for 22 yards in the game. Cook has been inconsistent, but has explosive potential in positive match-ups.
Bills QB Josh Allen competed 24-of-34 passes for 286 yards and two TDs. He also threw an interception in the game. With RB James Cook dominating on the ground, Allen did his damage in the passing game, only rushing for 25 yards in the contest.
Bills WR Curtis Samuel (pectoral) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. We don’t have a timetable for his return. Samuel totaled just 18 targets over the first seven games of the season, so there’s minimal fantasy impact here.
Bills LB Terrel Bernard left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Titans with a right ankle injury. The team ruled him out for the rest of the game. Bernard returned to the sideline still in full uniform before the end of the game. And Buffalo had the game well in hand, leading by 14 at the start of the quarter. HC Sean McDermott said after the game we'd learn more about Bernard's injury Monday. Baylon Spector would fill in if Bernard misses time.
Bills RB James Cook returned from injury and had the majority of RB touches (12 compared to nine for the rest of the Bills’ RBs). Cook finished with a stat line of 12 rushes for 32 yards and a TD. Ray Davis only had five carries but ran for 41 yards and a TD.
Bills WR Amari Cooper started the game with a drop, but caught a TD pass to start the day. He ended up catching 4-of-5 targets for 66 yards and a TD. It was a fine performance after joining the team this week.
Bills WR Curtis Samuel suffered a shoulder in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He's questionable to return. We'll update Samuel's status when we know more.
Update: Samuel has been ruled out.
Bills RB Ray Davis (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He hurt his calf near the end of last week’s game and wound up questionable on the final injury report for this one. The rookie built momentum with a strong Week 6 showing. But between the calf issue and RB James Cook’s return today, we’d try not to use Davis in Week 7 fantasy lineups.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo says Bills WR Amari Cooper "will rotate in with all the other WRs" vs. the Titans today. "So expect to see plenty of Cooper today," Garafolo adds. "Will it be as high of volume as he usually gets? Probably not." This is what we've been expecting in Cooper's Bills debut. He'd be a risky Week 7 fantasy start, especially against Tennessee's second-ranked WR defense.
Bills RB James Cook (toe) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. It looks like Cook will be somewhere close to 100% for this one. RB Ray Davis, meanwhile, is listed as questionable with a calf issue. HC Sean McDermott said that Davis hurt his calf near the end of last week’s game and was bothered by it again on Thursday. The rookie was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday.
Bills WR Amari Cooper is expected to play vs. the Titans on Sunday, according to insider Jordan Schultz. HC Sean McDermott and GM Brandon Beane were non-committal on Cooper's status for that one earlier this week. He'll have had just three practices with his new team prior to Sunday's game, so it'd be a surprise if Cooper played a full slate of snaps. We could certainly see QB Josh Allen look to get Cooper the ball when he is on the field, but he'd still be a risky Week 7 fantasy play.
Bills RB James Cook (toe) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He's on track to play vs. the Titans this weekend, and it doesn't look like the toe will be a significant issue. The question now is whether Cook will lose more work to RB Ray Davis, who's coming off an impressive Week 6. We'll see about that, but Cook is still worth starting as a RB2 for most fantasy teams.
Bills WR Khalil Shakir (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He registered a season-low 50% route rate in the Week 6 win over the Jets coming off the ankle injury, but it looks like he'll be back to full playing time vs. the Titans this weekend. Of course, Shakir now faces added target competition with the arrival of WR Amari Cooper
Bills RB James Cook (toe) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He seemed reasonably close to playing vs. the Jets on Monday night, so we're projecting Cook to return for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. We'll keep you updated on his status leading up to that one.
WR Amari Cooper was traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Buffalo Bills. The Browns received third- and seventh-round picks while giving up Cooper and a sixth rounder. Cooper, the top WR for the Browns, will slot in as the Bills' No. 1 WR once he settles into the offense.
