limited on offense? Bills will be missing vital pass catcher against Chiefs in Week 11

The Buffalo Bills are expected to face some offensive limitations when the Kansas City Chiefs visit Orchard Park. Both teams are missing key players for this highly anticipated Week 11 matchup, but there’s still ample star power on both sides to ensure a thrilling game.

The Bills have announced that tight end is ruled out for Sunday’s game due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts. Although he tried to return briefly, the injury ultimately sidelined him for the rest of the game.

The Chiefs’ defensive approach tends to create opportunities for tight ends, as they often focus on stifling the run and limiting deep plays. This leaves the middle of the field open for tight ends, allowing them favorable one-on-one matchups, as seen with players like Isaiah Likely, Drew Sample, and Brock Bowers this season.

Without Kincaid, Dawson Knox will take on a larger role in Buffalo’s offense, but the Bills still have other reliable options. Running backs James Cook and Ray Davis, for example, could become focal points. Additionally, wide receiver Amari Cooper, acquired from the Cleveland Browns, is uncertain for Sunday, as reported by NFL insider James Palmer.

Kincaid recorded 73 receptions for 673 yards in his rookie season with the Bills in 2023.
