The Buffalo Bills spent the last two seasons hearing the same knock: the offense had enough juice to look dangerous, but not enough at wide receiver to truly overwhelm teams when the games got tight. That criticism centered on a real issue. Khalil Shakir was Buffalo’s best receiver on the roster, and while he’s a strong slot option who can do damage after the catch, he was never a true No. 1 target.
That picture has changed. The Bills added DJ Moore as Josh Allen’s new go-to receiver, and they also used a fourth-round pick on Skyler Bell, a move that could end up being a major steal. With those additions layered onto an attack that already had a strong rushing backbone, Buffalo suddenly looks like an offense with a much higher ceiling.
James Cook has been the engine on the ground, leading the league in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. So even before the receiver room got a boost, the Bills had a clear path to production. Now, with more help on the outside, the whole operation has a chance to take another step forward.
That’s part of why Dan Parr of NFL.com slotted Buffalo at No. 2 in his list of predicted top offenses, behind only the Los Angeles Rams.
" Buffalo ranked third last season in OPPG despite being extremely thin at wide receiver, and it’s hard to imagine the crew taking a step back in 2026 after adding DJ Moore to the mix via trade in March, even if Moore’s prime years might be behind him. The offensive line returns intact aside from a change at left guard, and should continue to be a top-10 unit. With Allen and 2025 NFL rushing king James Cook pacing it, the ground game has more than enough firepower." said Parr.
Parr noted that Buffalo finished third in offensive points per game last season at 27.1, trailing only the Lions and the Rams. That’s the key part of the story here: the Bills were already putting up nearly four touchdowns a game without a loaded receiver group.
Now they’ve added Moore, brought in Bell, and kept the continuity in place with Joe Brady continuing to run the offense with Pete Carmichael Jr. Josh Allen is still in the middle of his prime, and as long as that remains true, Buffalo will keep looking like a team capable of lighting up the scoreboard.

Bills Fans Noticed Something Very Off In Shilo Sanders Photo
Shilo Sanders has already found a way to keep his name in the conversation with Bills fans after his brief, eventful preseason moment in Buffalo. He was ejected from a 2025 preseason game after punching tight end Zach Davidson during a scuffle, and the aftermath never really faded once Sanders later turned that on-field incident into part of the rollout for his new rap album.
The cover art used an altered image of Sanders throwing a punch at a different Bills player, Dalton Kincaid, which is the kind of detail that got plenty of attention on social media. Since then, Sanders has moved on from his NFL career and released the album with appearances from family members, leaving Bills followers with one more odd chapter from a night they had already seen enough of.

Bills Trade Idea Puts Keon Coleman's Role In Josh Allen's Offense In Focus
Keon Colemans place in the Bills offense is already one of the more interesting offseason conversations around Josh Allens receiving corps, and a recent Bleacher Report proposal pushed it into sharper view. The idea is simple on paper: Buffalo would send the second-year wideout to San Francisco for a conditional 2027 fifth-round pick, a move framed as a possible answer to the 49ers depth concerns while also clearing room for other Bills pass catchers.
For Buffalo, the speculation lands because Colemans role has never felt fully settled, even with his talent and upside. The trade remains purely hypothetical and has not been confirmed by either team, but it does highlight the larger question hanging over the Bills' offense: how they want to distribute targets around Allen, and whether Coleman is viewed as a long-term piece or a player whose value could be repurposed elsewhere.

For a team that has spent years living in the space between contender and champion, McDermotts prediction lands right in the middle of Buffalos biggest ongoing debate: are these Bills finally built to finish the job? He pointed to the roster moves the team has made and said he sees a group with the potential to get there, which only adds to the anticipation around a season that already carries plenty of pressure.
