Pro Football Focus named the biggest roster decision all 32 NFL teams must make during the ongoing offseason.
For the Buffalo Bills, it’s not a surprising selection.
The wide receiver room in Buffalo was a lightning rod of attention during the 2025 season. Improving that area is the pick by PFF.
Last season Khalil Shakir was head and shoulders the leader for the Bills in the air. He led the team with 72 catches and 719 yards while adding four touchdowns.
Tight end Dalton Kincaid provided some help when healthy, it was clear more playmakers were needed around quarterback Josh Allen in Buffalo. Whether during free agency or the 2026 NFL draft, a wide receiver is certainly a top need for the Bills roster this spring.

PFF’s analysis of the Bills’ biggest roster need can be found below:
Although the Bills finished last season second in offensive EPA per play, the team’s receiving room grew extremely dire by the divisional round. Now, it’s up to general manager Brandon Beane to amend past mistakes.
Buffalo returns at least one solid option in Khalil Shakir, who has recorded a 74.3-plus PFF receiving grade in each of the last three years. But outside of Shakir, no Bills receiver reached even a 65.0 receiving mark.
Beane and others have expressed faith in third-year receiver Keon Coleman, but his early career returns have been underwhelming. Plus, Tyrell Shavers suffered a torn ACL in the playoffs. Josh Allen certainly needs more firepower around him, and options exist both in free agency and the draft. The Bills could make a splash for someone like Alec Pierce or trade up from No. 26, or they could try to fill out the room with cheaper but quality options.
