Fantasy start or sit recommendations for Buffalo Bills players in week 1
Summary

The Buffalo Bills face the Houston Texans to open their 2026 campaign. Fantasy managers face decisions regarding running back James Cook, wide receiver DJ Moore, and tight end Dalton Kincaid as they prepare for a difficult road matchup. Cook is recommended as a starter despite the challenging opponent after recording over 1,600 rushing yards last season. Moore enters his first game with the Bills following a statistically difficult 2025 campaign, leading to a sit recommendation for this opening contest. Meanwhile, Kincaid is projected to act as a primary safety net for quarterback Josh Allen, who will likely need to discharge passes quickly to counter the Houston pass rush. The matchup against the Texans serves as the first test for this Buffalo roster under head coach Joe Brady.
