Bills Passing Game Hinges On One Last DJ Moore Decision

The Buffalo Bills face uncertainty in their wide receiver lineup as DJ Moore's status remains questionable for their Week 3 showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers, potentially impacting both team strategy and betting odds.

Buffalo’s passing game could be in flux Sunday, and it all starts with DJ Moore’s shoulder.

Moore went down with an AC joint sprain in the Bills’ Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions, leaving his availability for the Week 3 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers very much up in the air. He and fellow wideout Keon Coleman are both listed as questionable, which keeps the Bills’ receiver rotation unsettled heading into kickoff.

There was at least some good news on Friday. Moore returned to practice, which gives him a real shot to play.

Afterward, he told reporters he was feeling good and had “all signs were good signs.” Still, he made it clear there’s more to clear before he can be officially counted on Sunday.

When asked if he was good to go, he said, “We shall see….[need to] check a few more boxes & then we’re good.” Those boxes include stability and simulated contact.

If Moore can’t go, the Bills have already shown one way they might attack the Chargers. In Week 2, Dalton Kincaid and Coleman picked up more of the load, and that same setup could come back into play if Moore sits again.

Through two games, Moore has five catches on eight targets for 100 yards and a touchdown, with all of that production coming in the Week 1 win over Houston. He did not record a catch before exiting Week 2.

Even with the injury uncertainty, Buffalo enters Sunday as a seven-point favorite, and the offense still looks dangerous with Josh Allen off to such a strong start to 2026. That’s part of what makes Kincaid so appealing in the prop market for this game.

Kincaid has been a steady piece through two weeks, playing 72.4 and 66.2 percent of the Bills’ offensive snaps while hauling in 12 of 14 targets for 225 yards and a score. He’s posted at least five catches and six targets in each game, and the Chargers have had trouble handling tight ends, giving up 13 receptions for 129 yards and a touchdown over the first two weeks.

His yardage total is worth a look too, but the touchdown angle stands out most in a Bills offense that has already piled up 77 points. With Moore’s status uncertain, Kincaid could wind up as Josh Allen’s top option through the air in Week 3.

Bills 3-0 Start Now Comes With A Josh Allen Concern

Buffalos perfect start has been built around Josh Allen doing what he always does, which is absorb hits, extend plays and keep the offense moving even when things get messy. So the sight of Allen taking a helmet to the knee in Week 3 was an immediate concern, even if he stayed in the game and the early read is that the issue is a contusion rather than something more severe.

The Bills are moving on to their next matchup with the New England Patriots, but Allens knee will be watched closely as the week unfolds. For a team sitting at 3-0, the larger picture is obvious: the record looks clean, but the health of the quarterback driving it is now part of the story. [Read more 🡒]

Josh Allen Is One Score Away From A Bills Milestone

Buffalos fast start has been fueled by the same familiar engine, with the Bills opening the 2026 season 3-0 and piling up a league-leading 101 points through three weeks. Josh Allen has been right in the middle of it again, and his latest visit to the end zone against the Chargers carried more than just the usual weight of another productive afternoon.

Allens 1-yard rushing touchdown in Week 3 tied him with Thurman Thomas and Andre Reed for the most scrimmage touchdowns in franchise history at 87, a reminder of how much he has already added to the teams record book. He still finished the day with two interceptions, but the Bills keep moving forward with Allen now sitting one score away from standing alone atop one of the franchises most notable milestones.

Bills Win Sparked Ugly Chargers Backlash Around Harbaughs Staff

The Chargers came out of their loss to the Bills carrying plenty of frustration, and not just because the defense forced five turnovers and still watched the offense manage only 10 points. Buffalo's latest win over Los Angeles only deepened the sense that this matchup has become a sore spot for a Chargers team that could not turn mistakes into enough production to stay in control.

Breiden Fehoko turned that frustration public, taking aim at the coaching staff's play-calling on social media, while Jim Harbaugh acknowledged the team's struggles and kept his focus on the collective nature of wins and losses. For Buffalo, the result was another convincing edge in a series that has gone the Bills' way three straight times, but for the Chargers the bigger issue is how quickly the criticism around Harbaugh's staff is starting to spill into the open.
