Buffalo Bills Roster FANTASY FOOTBALL 2025

Buffalo went 12-5 and made the playoffs as the No. 6 seed. Josh Allen threw for over 4,000 yards and ran for another 600 in his post-MVP follow-up year, with the offense ranking top-five in scoring. James Cook ran for over 1,200 yards and Khalil Shakir broke 1,000 receiving yards. The defense, retooled around free-agent additions Joey Bosa and Andrew Van Ginkel, was top-ten in points allowed.

The wild-card round at Jacksonville was a 27-24 win in which Allen led a fourth-quarter touchdown drive against a Jaguars defense playing without Travis Hunter. The divisional round at Denver was a 33-30 overtime loss in which Buffalo led 27-13 in the third quarter and watched Bo Nix engineer a comeback that ended on a Wil Lutz field goal in overtime. The defensive collapse in the second half drew weeks of postseason debate.

Sean McDermott was fired two days after the playoff loss, ending a nine-year tenure that produced a 98-50 regular-season record, six playoff berths, and zero Super Bowl appearances. Owner Terry Pegula made the call without consulting Allen, who learned of the decision after the fact. The franchise enters 2026 with general manager Brandon Beane retained, Allen at the centre of the long-term plan, and a head-coaching search that the entire league is watching.
