Bills’ wide receiver depth takes another brutal hit ahead of the Divisional Round.
Tyrell Shavers tore his ACL in the first half of the Bills-Jaguars Wild Card matchup. Remarkably, Shavers finished the game, continuing to contribute on offense and special teams despite the injury.
Buffalo’s receiver room is now dangerously thin. The Bills are likely to be without Shavers, Curtis Samuel, Josh Palmer, and Gabe Davis, who also suffered a torn ACL against Jacksonville. That leaves the team with only Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Brandin Cooks healthy at WR heading into Denver to face a stingy Broncos defense.
From a fantasy perspective, the Bills’ long-running WR1 problem has reached a breaking point. Since Stefon Diggs’ departure, fantasy managers have been begging for a true alpha to emerge, and this postseason stretch may force Buffalo’s hand. While the team re-signed Shakir and invested a 1st round pick in Coleman, neither has stepped up the way Buffalo had hoped. Expect Buffalo to aggressively explore wide receiver in the 2026 Draft, with late 1st round prospects like Denzel Boston, KC Concepcion, and Elijah Sarratt on the radar.
