The Buffalo Bills are off to a 2-0 start, but their Week 3 trip into a meeting with the 0-2 Los Angeles Chargers comes with some real uncertainty at wide receiver.
Josh Allen is chasing a 3-0 opening to the 2026 season after Buffalo knocked off the Houston Texans in Week 1 and the Detroit Lions in Week 2. The problem is that the Bills may have to get there without a full-strength passing game.
On Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported that both DJ Moore and Keon Coleman are questionable for Sunday and will be handled as “game-time” decisions. Garafolo also noted that Joe Brady said the team would wait until Sunday before making a call on the pair, and that defensive tackle Ed Oliver is in the same situation because of a hip issue.
"Bills listing WRs DJ Moore (shoulder) and Keon Coleman (ankle) as questionable, with Joe Brady telling reporters he'll give them until game time Sunday vs. the Chargers. Same with DT Ed Oliver (hip)," Garafolo reports.
That leaves Buffalo in a shaky spot at receiver. Moore’s shoulder and Coleman’s ankle both have the potential to keep them out for a week, and the Bills may decide it’s better to hold them back rather than push them before they’re ready.
If both receivers are unavailable, Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer, and Skyler Bell would be in line for the biggest workload at wideout. Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, and James Cook III would also likely be heavily involved.
For now, the Bills are waiting on the final call. Moore and Coleman are both questionable, both are game-time decisions, and the picture won’t clear up until Sunday.

Chargers Face A Brutal Khalil Mack Decision After 0-2 Start
Two losses to open the season have already pushed the Chargers into early-season speculation mode, and the conversation around the roster is starting to move beyond simple corrections. NFL media has begun looking ahead to the trade deadline, with Bleacher Report singling out veteran edge rusher Khalil Mack as a name to watch because of where he stands contractually and the level he can still bring on the field.
Chicago and Detroit were among the teams mentioned as possible landing spots, which only adds to the sense that this could become more than idle chatter if Los Angeles keeps digging itself into an early hole. No move has been made, and the Chargers still have time to steady things, but the fact that Mack is already part of the deadline conversation says plenty about how quickly this start has changed the temperature around the team.

Joe Hortiz Is Facing A Chargers Question Fans Can't Ignore
The Chargers offensive line problems have gone from a nagging issue to one of the defining frustrations of the 2025 season, and Justin Herbert is paying the price every week. Injuries and uneven play up front have left him under constant pressure, with the kind of protection issues that can turn a promising offense into a scramble drill, and the roots of the problem trace back to a roster-building approach Joe Hortiz brought with him from Baltimore.
Hortiz has leaned on low-cost, low-replacement-value interior linemen, a philosophy that can work only if the margins are right and the depth holds up. Instead, recent decisions like the short-term signing of Mekhi Becton and the choice not to re-sign Zion Johnson have only sharpened the question facing the front office: whether the Chargers can keep asking Herbert to operate behind this kind of line and still expect the offense to function the way it should.

Justin Herbert Could Finally End The Chargers' Early Offensive Frustration
Justin Herbert and the Chargers are heading into Week 3 with a chance to shake off the early offensive frustration that has hung over the start of the season. The matchup with Buffalo brings the kind of test that can quickly tell you whether Los Angeles is finding its rhythm or still searching for it, and Herberts arm is at the center of that conversation.
The expectation in this one is that Herbert can put together a big passing day and help push the offense into a more comfortable place after an uneven opening stretch. It is still just a prediction, but it has the feel of the sort of game that could change the tone around the Chargers quickly if Herbert finds his timing and the passing game starts clicking.
