Bills Week 9 outlook
Buffalo is 6-1, riding a three-game winning streak after road wins over Las Vegas (33-30) and Los Angeles Rams (37-34), with the one loss coming at home to Baltimore. The offense has outscored opponents 233-181 this season, and the Bills now travel to face Minnesota in Week 9, a game the market lists as roughly a 63 percent win chance for Buffalo.
The injury report carries real fantasy weight. WR DJ Moore (shoulder) and TE Dalton Kincaid (chest) are both questionable, and their practice status through the week will decide target shares in the passing game. WR Tyrell Shavers is out, which could push snaps to healthy receivers if Moore can't go. On the offensive line, Spencer Brown (back) is questionable, and any absence there changes protection math for whoever starts at quarterback.
Defensively, CB Dee Alford (ankle) and LB TJ Parker (knee) are both questionable, worth watching for how Buffalo handles coverage and run-support assignments against Minnesota. With so many game-time calls, lineup decisions should wait until final injury designations are released before kickoff.
