The Buffalo Bills await news on their top two receivers as both Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley are listed as questionable.
The Bills host the Colts in their first home playoff game since 1995, but whether or not Josh Allen has his two favorite targets is to be determined heading into game time.
See below for the latest news and updates on both Diggs and Beasley ahead of kickoff, which is 1:05 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Latest on Stefon Diggs
Stefon Diggs says he’s playing, telling reporters earlier this week, “I’m fine.”
He’s dealing with an oblique injury, but it’s not clear when it popped up. He performed in Week 17, catching seven of eight targets for 76 yards.
Buffalo needs Diggs, who has become Allen’s favorite target in his first season with the Bills.
The All-Pro receiver led the NFL with 127 catches and 1,535 yards. He’s caught at least seven passes in each of the last eight weeks.
Our Director of Predictive Analytics Sean Koerner rates Diggs as the Bills’ second-most valuable player, impacting the spread by 1.03 points.
Latest on Cole Beasley
Beasley’s status is more unknown than that of Diggs. He’s also listed as questionable with a knee injury, which caused him to miss Week 17.
Beasley sat out practice both Tuesday and Wednesday and was a limited participate on Thursday. The second-team All-Pro is “confident” he’ll play, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
The final decision will come after Beasley warms up on Saturday.
How much does he matter?
Don’t let last week’s team performance fool you. Koerner ranks Beasley as the team’s third-most valuable player, worth 0.43 points toward the spread.
