Bills

That doesn’t necessarily mean that Coleman is guaranteed a spot in the starting lineup, and as of now he’d probably battle Josh Palmer for starting work next to Khalil Shakir and DJ Moore. The bottom line is that the Bills seem likely to keep him on the roster this year, but we probably shouldn’t count on him as an unlikely post-hype breakout in year three.

Even with the acquisition of D.J. Moore earlier this offseason, the Bills could stand to put some more talent around Josh Allen. Concepcion has risen rapidly up draft boards throughout the pre-draft process and finished the year with 61-919=9 through the air while adding another 10-75-1 on the ground. He’s a versatile player who can play both in the slot and out wide, and also returned 25 punts for 456 yards and two touchdowns. Concepcion will add multiple elements to whatever team drafts him, and Moore, who will be 29 at the start of the season, only has a few years left in the league before age begins to take a toll on him. Adding a premier, young weapon for Allen should be a top priority for the Bills, especially with Joe Brady now running the show.

He will meet with the Panthers today and the other two teams next week. Joly has already had top-30 visits with the Bills, Broncos and Chiefs. Joly, 21, was an efficient player at both UConn (2022-2023) and NC State (2024-2025). He caught 47-of-66 targets for 468 yards and seven touchdowns last year, leading his team in both targets and receptions. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler ranks him fifth in the 2026 rookie class, positionally.

The Bills drafted Gilmore with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. He remained in Buffalo until 2017, when he signed with the Patriots in free agency. Gilmore enjoyed the best seasons of his career in New England, winning Super Bowl LII in 2018. He earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2018 and 2019, and co-led the NFL in interceptions while also winning NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2019. He earned Pro Bowl honors in 2016 and 2018-2021. He spent one-year stints with the Panthers, Colts, Cowboys and Vikings from 2021-2024. Gilmore logged 149 passes defended, 32 interceptions, 617 combined tackles and one sack in his NFL career.

Kincaid has declined to have a torn PCL surgically repaired since 2024. “There’s a lot of things that he is pushing through that you guys might not see, and I think some of it is just learning how to play with certain elements of some movements that might not feel great, and he’s had to push through that,” Brady said. Both GM Brandon Beane and Brady alluded to having to manage Kincaid’s practice time in 2026 to keep him fresh for games and deal with pain tolerance issues. We’re not doctors, nor will we play one on Rotoworld dot com, but it sounds like we can expect to be doing a lot of blurbs about Kincaid on practice days again this year. It’s never a great sign for a player’s fantasy value when we start talking about them being limited in April, but Kincaid has a big enough role in Buffalo’s offense to be in the fringe TE1 discussion.

Cooks is probably a fallback plan for the Bills if they don’t draft someone. Even if he’s signed, the pecking order in targets in Buffalo has radically changed with DJ Moore in town and fantasy managers shouldn’t be expecting more than a WR5 role for Cooks.

This move was expected all along, but speaking at the league meetings in Arizona, GM Brandon Beane confirmed that Kincaid’s option has been picked up. The former No. 25 overall pick caught 39 passes for 571 yards and five touchdowns last season while appearing in 12 games, and has appeared in just 25 regular season games over the last two seasons due to a myriad of injuries. He will now be under contract through the 2027 season, but could be in line for an extension if he’s able to stay healthy in turn out a career-year this upcoming season. Kincaid has turned in eight top-12 fantasy finishes since 2024, and will enter this season as a boom-or-bust fantasy option at the position.

Allen underwent surgery to repair a broken bone in his foot, but two months post-op, the Bills’ QB1 appears to be in good shape. The Bills went out and traded for WR DJ Moore this offseason to give Allen a much-needed weapon in the passing game, and with Allen trending in the right direction, he should have plenty of time to build with Moore before training camp ramps up earlier this summer. Allen has finished as the QB1 in fantasy points per game in four of his last six seasons and projects as a high-end QB1 again this upcoming season.

After starting a career-high 14 games in 2024, Hamlin returned to backup duties in 2025. The fifth-year safety appeared in just five games last season due to a pectoral injury he suffered in October and managed just one tackle while playing primarily on special teams. Hamlin has started in 27 games for the Bills in his career, but will likely have to battle for a spot on the 53-man roster in camp.

Cushenberry is not an elite player, but he respectably earned a 65.5 PFF pass-blocking grade during the 2025 regular season. The Bills also signed OL Austin Corbett, formerly of the Panthers. Corbett earned a 66.7 PFF run-blocking grade last year and has experience at right guard, left guard and center. The Bills signed WR Trent Sherfield, formerly of the Cardinals, as well. He is unlikely to be relevant in fantasy. All three players are on one-year contracts.
