The Buffalo Bills need reassurement on their wide receiver corp, as they are in need of a top-tier weapon. When facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13, the question is if wideout Josh Palmer and tight end Dalton Kincaid will play?
Initially listed as questionable, Palmer and Kincaid were ultimately ruled out to play the Steelers today. This is will not only force the Bills to adjust their offense, but also has implications for fantasy football owners as well.
It will be intriguing to see how quarterback Josh Allen responds, considering Kincaid is one of his favorite targets in Buffalo. Palmerâs absence also takes a toll in a WR room that has already created challenges for the Bills this year.
Palmer is not elite, but at least another WRs are part of the plan
After missing the last two games as a healthy scratch, second-year WR Keon Coleman will once again suit up. Also, newly-arrived Brandin Cooks will play as well. Whether they both play a key role or not on the game vs. Steelers remain to be seen, but at least Josh Allen will have some new weapons for the game.
Keon Coleman #0 of the Buffalo Bills
The fact of the matter is that they are not top-tier talents, nor can they replace what Dalton Kincaid can do as tight end. However, Josh Allen canât keep playing Superman without any help.

The Bills have plenty to fix before the playoffs
As of now, the Bills are the seventh seed in the AFC, holding on for dear life to that last playoff berth. Even if they lose this game, they still have a 71% of chances to go to the NFL Playoffs.
Hence, looking at this scenario they do need to fix a lot of things to be a contender. First and foremost, they need to establish a solid first option for Josh Allen. Then, they have to fix that deficient rushing defense, and lastly, they have to be better in situational football.
