Codrington

In order to make room on the active roster, the Bills released KR/PR Brandon Codrington which seems to signal that Hardman will primarily be used as a return man in Buffalo. The Bills could also use Hardman on som gadget routes but they have Elijah Moore and Curtis Samuel in that role as well. For now, Hardman remains off fantasy radars.

The Bills will have their three-deep backfield fully available for this one. Elusive starter James Cook and passing-game specialist Ty Johnson are rightfully locked into their respective roles but the 5-foot-8, 220-pound Davis provides an important physical element to the group. The Bills fortuitously face the Ravens with a largely healthy roster, declaring only QB Mike White (3rd QB), WR Jalen Virgil, OL Ryan Van Demark, OL Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, DT DeWayne Carter, CB Kaiir Elam and KR/PR Brandon Codrington inactive. Codrington is the team’s most notable absence, helpfully averaging 11.6 yards per punt return. Khalil Shakir is expected to fill in for Codrington in that regard.

The sides are apparently swapping late-round, 2026 picks in the deal. Codrington is a 23-year-old undrafted rookie who has some return skills. That will be where he tries to make it onto the field for the Bills.
