Buffalo Bills C Geoff Hangartner (back) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 25. He is listed as probable for Week 3 and is expected to play.

Buffalo Bills WR Josh Reed (ankle), TE Shawn Nelson (shoulder) and C Geoff Hangartner (back) were limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 24. All three players should be able to play in Week 3.

Chris Brown, of BuffaloBills.com, reports Buffalo Bills WR Josh Reed (quadriceps) and OG Geoff Hangartner (back) missed the team’s practice Wednesday, Sept. 23.

Lindell made his only field-goal attempt (a 25-yarder) in Sunday's loss to the Titans.

Spin: Personally, he's having a good season, making 87.5 percent of his field goals and all of his extra points. From a fantasy standpoint, however, his 56 points are middle of the pack and things seem to be on the decline with the Buffalo offense struggling so bad. Plus, the weather is about to become an issue in Lindell's games.Mon, Nov 16

News: Bills kicker Rian Lindell converted his only field goal try in Week 10 at Tennessee. It was good from 25 yards. He also converted two extra points to give him five points.

Analysis: Lindell has been held under 10 points in all but one game this season. He has yet to attempt a field goal of 50 yards in a game and remains a very low-end option in Fantasy. Now that the bye weeks are over, there is very little use for him in Fantasy

News: Buffalo K Rian Lindell went 1 for 1 on field goals in Week 8 in a loss at home to Houston. Lindell nailed a 21-yard field goal and made his only extra-point attempt in the defeat. He finished with four points.

Analysis: Lindell has had a couple of monster weeks in Week 2 against the Bucs and Week 6 against the Jets. He is 13 of 15 on the season on field goals and will continue to be a consistent Fantasy option going forward. Don't use him Week 9, however, as the Bills are on a bye

Bills' interim coach Perry Fewell was non-committal when asked if PR/WR Roscoe Parrish will be active this week. Parrish had been benched for the past handful of games by fired coach Dick Jauron. He has led the NFL in punt return average each of the past two seasons before struggling earlier this season. Fred Jackson has been handling kick/punt return duties.Source: Buffalo News

Buffalo Bills WR Roscoe Parrish (illness) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is not on the injury report for Week 11 and is expected to play.

Buffalo Bills WR Roscoe Parrish (illness) practiced Thursday, Nov. 19, and he will play Week 11.

Buffalo Bills OT Demetrius Bell (knee), CB Terrence McGee (knee) and LB Keith Ellison (thigh) missed the team’s practice Thursday, Nov. 19, and are out for Week 11.

According to the official website of the Buffalo Bills, offensive tackle Demetrius Bell is expected to miss two games with his knee injury. It was originally believed that Bell might be out for the season, but the injury was not as severe as originally expected.

Our View: Good news for the struggling Bills, as their offensive line has struggled to stay healthy all season. The tema will likely have their fifth different starting tackle tandem this weekend, which explains, at least in part, why they are 3-6 this season.

Bills T Demetrius Bell is expected to miss two games with a knee injury, which could lead to the fifth starting tackle tandem of the season. The Dolphins don't feel that Ricky Williams's age will mean less productivity in an...

Buffalo Bills WR Roscoe Parrish (illness) practiced Thursday, Nov. 19, and he will play Week 11.

The Buffalo News believes the addition of Brian Brohm is a sign that the Bills are "prepared to move forward without Trent Edwards." Edwards was once considered a potential franchise quarterback, but he lacks NFL arm strength while struggling with injuries and confidence level. Most disturbingly, he's shown an inability to get the ball in the hands of his best playmaker, opting instead for dumpoffs and checkdowns.Source: Buffalo News

Allen Wilson of the Buffalo News speculates that QB Brian Brohm's arrival might push Trent Edwards out the door for the Bills. WR Wes Welker's presence in the lineup figures to make the Patriots offense better than it was in...

Bills offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said that Edwards is the backup QB now, but noted that could change in a week or may not change the rest of the season, BuffaloBills.com reports.

Spin: Basically, it's going to be a week to week decision until one guy presents himself as "the guy." But Edwards still isn't worth owning right now, because even if he wins the starting job back the offense isn't productive enough and the O-Line is too green.Thu, Nov 19

News: You're probably not inclined to start Fred Jackson in Week 11 at Jacksonville, but here's some recent history that's good food for thought: Jackson played at Jacksonville last season and while sharing the backfield with Marshawn Lynch was able to total 100 yards from scrimmage.

Analysis: Jackson began to get re-involved with the Bills offense last week, throwing a touchdown and totaling 71 yards from scrimmage (not including passing yardage). If you're desperate for a flex option in Week 11, Jackson is worthy of some consideration, but don't expect any more than, say, 90 total yards

The Bills plan to continue running the Wildcat offense -- where Jackson is the primary ball handler -- after having some success with it last week, BuffaloBills.com reports. Jackson threw a touchdown pass to Lee Evans in the loss.

Spin: It'll be interesting to see if interim coach Perry Fewell uses Jackson more than Dick Jauron had been, as Marshawn Lynch continues to get a bigger share of the carries. Jackson is one of the league's better No. 2 backs because he's in a timeshare and gets on the field in return situations and Wildcat formations, but his value is still nowhere near what it was when Lynch was on suspension.Wed, Nov 18

Bills starting RT Jonathan Scott is out for Sunday's game against the Titans for personal reasons. It's unclear what is going on with Scott, but he's leaving the Bills very short handed. Kirk Chambers and rookie Jamon Meredith are the Bills only other options at tackle, and Meredith is a game-time decision due to a knee injury.Source: Buffalobills.com

On the official Week Ten injury report, Bills right tackle Jonathan Scott was listed as probable with an ankle injury.According to the Associated Press, however, Scott is now expected not to play, for personal reasons.Scott has missed the past three...

Scott was expected to miss the Bills game at Tennessee on Sunday.

Impacts: The Bills said Saturday that Scott, sidelined by a sprained ankle the last three games, will be out for personal reasons. His absence could force the Bills to call on rookie Jamon Meredith or veteran backup Kirk Chambers. Meredith is nursing an injury of his own, having sprained his right knee in a game against the Texans on Nov. 1.

Before the season, a lot of people wondered if the Bills could survive with Demetrius Bell and Brad Butler starting at the tackle positions considering their inexperience on the outside.Now, the Bills will try to win without Bell and Butler. ...

Nelson's teammate Derek Fine went on IR on Tuesday with a knee injury.

Spin: The Bills signed Joe Klopfenstein to take Fine's spot, but Nelson may have inherited the No. 1 tight end role. The tight end spot continues to be a vacuum on this team, but Nelson is a good pass-catcher and it'll be interesting to see if the Bills start throwing him some passes with the playoffs gone and a new coach running the show. We wouldn't act on this yet, but Nelson's progress is at least worth keeping an eye on.Wed, Nov 18

Nelson (migraines) is listed as active for Sunday's game at Tennessee.

Spin: His presence gives the team three healthy tight ends, but it's not exactly like that's a position that has been a fantasy goldmine for the Bills this season.Sun, Nov 15

Nelson (migraines) is listed as probable for Sunday's game at Tennessee, BuffaloBills.com reports. He practiced fully on Friday.

Spin: All signs point to the rookie playing this week, where he'll give the Bills three tight ends for the first time in a while and finally a decent pass-catching option. Whether they use it is another story, as the Bills might have the worst TE production over the course of the decade.Fri, Nov 13

Said Bills WR Lee Evans of QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, "When he played before, he stepped up and made some big plays. So I think it'll help. We have a lot of confidence in him. I'm excited to see him play."Omar...

Evans will have Ryan Fitzpatrick as his quarterback Sunday against Jacksonville instead of Trent Edwards.

Spin: Evans seems to have a better rapport with Fitzpatrick, as Fitz takes more shots downfield than Edwards. In the three games where Fitzpatrick quarterbacked the majority of the game, Evans has gone 11/172/2, and in the six games Edwards has started and finished, he's gone 16/209/3. The biggest problem for Evans is that the team's offensive line is lousy, so they're not giving him enough time to get open downfield.Wed, Nov 18

Evans had four catches for 50 yards and two touchdowns as the Bills lost 41-17 to Tennessee on Sunday.

Impacts: Evans has somehow managed some productivity lately amid Buffalo's woeful offense, and the Bills face Jacksonville's 26th-ranked pass defense this week. Still, be careful when dealing with any of your beleaguered Buffalo players at the moment.

Buffalo Bills WR Roscoe Parrish (illness) practiced Thursday, Nov. 19, and he will play Week 11.

News: Bills WR Steve Johnson caught one pass for 5 yards in Week 10 at Tennessee. He was targeted one time in the game.

Analysis: Johnson is not a regular target in the team's offense and for that reason is not a viable Fantasy option. Leave him on waivers in all leagues

News: Bills WR Steve Johnson, WR Justin Jenkins and TE Jonathan Stupar didn't record offensive statistics at the Jets in Week 6.

Analysis: None of these players ever contributes enough statistically to matter in Fantasy. Leave them all on waivers

News: Bills WR Steve Johnson, DB Donte Whitner, DB Leodis McKelvin, DB Bryan Scott, LB Paul Posluszny, DL Chris Ellis, DL John McCargo and QB Gibran Hamdan (emergency QB) have all been ruled inactive for Week 4 at Miami.

Analysis: The Bills defense is definitely banged up. They are still without Whitner, Posluszny and McCargo, and have lost McKelvin for the season. Whitner and Posluszny are viable Fantasy options in IDP leagues when healthy, but most of the other inactives have marginal appeal. Keep them reserved for Week 4

Spin: Kelsay has posted a respectable amount of tackles for an end this season, so feel free to deploy him if you were considering the possibility.Sun, Nov 1

News: Buffalo DL Chris Kelsay has been listed as probable for the team's Week 8 game against the Texans with a back injury.

Analysis: Kelsay is a decent low-end option in IDP formats when healthy and he should be good to go for Week 8 against the Texans

The Buffalo Bills have declared DL Chris Ellis, QB Gibran Hamdan, WR James Hardy, OL Jonathan Scott, LB Keith Ellison, DL Kyle Williams, WR Roscoe Parrish, CB Terrence McGee inactive for Week 10.

Week 6 inactives: QB Gibran Hamdan (3rd), WR Roscoe Parrish, SS Brian Scott, DB Todd Johnson, CB Ellis Lankster, RB Xavier Omon, OT Jonathan Scott and DE Chris Ellis.

Our View: WR Josh Reed (fibula) is active and will play in multiple receiver sets. On defense, the Bills get some good news with the return of LB Paul Posluszny (forearm), who is active and will start in the middle. Also, LB Keith Ellison (knee), FS Donte Whitner (thumb) and CB Terrance McGee (knee) are all active and will start.

Johnson's teammate Kyle Williams (knee) missed Friday's practice and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, BuffaloBills.com reports.

Spin: That will make Johnson the starter at defensive tackle for a week, though Williams' injury isn't deemed to be too serious. Johnson is a pretty decent player in his own right, so there's not too much of a drop-off even though Williams is a better all-around player. The bigger hit will be felt in the depth department, as the Bills will play this one with just three healthy DTs.Fri, Oct 30

Patriots.com reports Buffalo Bills DT Spencer Johnson (thigh) went through a full practice Saturday, Sept. 12, and is listed as probable for Week 1 against the New England Patriots.

Johnson practiced on Saturday and is now probable for Monday night against the Patriots, according to The Buffalo News.

Spin: Looks like Johnson will be able to play on Monday, which is good for the Bills because they need to get as much pressure on Tom Brady as they can.Sat, Sep 12

Jamie Winborn auditioned for the Bills today, according to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post. The team also tried out Matt Wilhelm, Leon Williams, Alex Lewis and Patrick Thomas.

Our View: The Bills are in need of depth at linebacker with Kawika Mitchell done for 2009 with a knee injury. It is uncertain if they will add any of the aforementioned players from the list after signing Chris Draft.

Kawika Mitchell has been placed on injured reserve by the Bills, according to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post.

Our View: Mitchell's season was ended early by a serious knee injury suffered in Week 5 against Cleveland. The Bills auditioned several linebackers for depth, such as Matt Wilhelm.

Buffalo Bills OT Demetrius Bell (knee), LB Keith Ellison (thigh) and CB Ashton Youboty (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20. They have been ruled out for Week 11.

Buffalo Bills CB Ashton Youboty (ankle) missed the team’s practice Thursday, Nov. 19, and he is doubtful for Week 11.

Resigned to missing the playoffs for his ninth straight year in Buffalo, defensive end Aaron Schobel questioned the Bills lack of direction with seven games remaining in their season.

News: Bills DL Aaron Schobel (groin) was activated for Week 10 at Tennessee. He had been listed as questionable on the injury report.

Analysis: Schobel is a good low-end No. 1 Fantasy DL when healthy. Keep him active in any IDP format while he is healthy enough to play

Buffalo Bills DT Kyle Williams (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as questionable for Week 11 but is expected to play.

Williams (knee) practiced on a limited basis Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, BuffaloBills.com reports.

Spin: Fellow DT Marcus Stroud has already been ruled out, so if Williams can't go it's going to be a fantasy fiesta for Maurice Jones-Drew. The way the Buffalo run defense has been going, it's going to be a fiesta even if Williams does play.Fri, Nov 20

Buffalo Bills DT Kyle Williams (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 19, and he is questionable for Week 11.

Whitner (ankle) appeared to be a full participant in Wednesday's practice, BuffaloBills.com reports.

Spin: He'll probably have an increased role this week against the Jaguars after being used only as an emergency safety last week. However, we'd still avoid Whitner as an IDP guy for now because fellow safeties George Wilson and Jairus Byrd are playing so well.Wed, Nov 18

Chris Brown, of BuffaloBills.com, reports Buffalo Bills S Donte Whitner (ankle) dressed for the team’s Week 10 game, but he did not get into the game. Head coach Dick Jauron said, “Donte knew he was going to dress and I told him we didn’t know if he would see action or no. He was up kind of as an emergency. I liked the way he had worked last week, but it was his first week back of work and I thought he was close to being ready and we would have used him if we had to in that game. We expect that he’ll just keep getting better this week in practice.”

Whitner returned Sunday after missing two games with a high ankle sprain, but was not in the starting lineup (for the first time in four years when healthy) as the Bills continued to go with George Wilson and Jairus Byrd as the starting safeties, The Buffalo News reports.

Spin: Whitner didn't record a tackle or any other stat, and with Wilson and Byrd playing so well it looks like he may be eased back into a larger role. Whitner is not IDP worthy right now.Mon, Nov 16

News: The Bills have signed safety Todd Johnson in a bid to improve their injury-riddled defense. Johnson's agent, Peter Schaffer, confirmed his client signed with Buffalo on Tuesday. The move comes a day after Buffalo announced linebackers Kawika Mitchell and Marcus Buggs both sustained season-ending injuries in a 6-3 loss to Cleveland on Sunday.

Analysis: Johnson was a fourth-round pick by Chicago in 2003 and played three years with the Bears before joining St. Louis in 2007. He will be organizational depth for the Bills and should not be owned in Fantasy at this time

Johnson signed with the Bills on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

Spin: He'll provide depth for an injury-riddled Buffalo secondary.Tue, Oct 13

Bills signed S Todd Johnson. The Bills are one of the only teams willing to sign ex-Rams. FS Donte Whitner (thumb) and SS Bryan Scott (ankle) have been out for two weeks. If Johnson suits up on game day, he'll play special teams and back up at safety.Source: National Football Post
