There has been some backlash in the country about the Buffalo Bills’ approach to the wide receiver position during the 2024 NFL offseason. After letting free agent Gabriel Davis go, the team traded perennial Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans, cutting their receiving corps short by 152 receptions, 1,929 yards, and 15 touchdowns. In addition to several value free agents, Buffalo added former Washington Commanders pass-catcher Curtis Samuel and rookie Keon Coleman to offset their departures. The result is an intriguing group that lacks proven output, while it is entirely unknown.
Despite being questioned by some, the strategy showed internal faith in the team’s pass-catchers, which included third-year contributor Khalil Shakir and second-year tight end Dalton Kincaid. During the last stretch of the 2023 season, the wide receiver in particular stood out, turning into a reliable player in 11 personnel sets and finishing with 39 receptions and 611 yards. As of right now, Josh Allen’s sole receiver on Buffalo’s roster to catch a pass in a regular season game is Shakir. Many anticipate that in 2024, the quarterback will target the wideout frequently.
