Buffalo Bills 2026 Preview: Joe Brady Takes the Helm with Josh Allen

The Buffalo Bills enter 2026 with new head coach Joe Brady and quarterback Josh Allen, who continues to excel. Key roster changes and player performances are highlighted in the preview.

<p>The Buffalo Bills are gearing up for the 2026 season under new head coach Joe Brady, following a disappointing end to the previous season where they lost to the Broncos in the divisional round. Quarterback Josh Allen remains a central figure, having achieved six consecutive PFF grades above 90.0 since 2020.</p><p>Buffalo has made significant roster changes, including the addition of D.J. Moore as the top wide receiver, although concerns about his peak performance linger. The team also bolstered its defense by signing Bradley Chubb and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, both of whom have shown potential in past seasons. Additionally, rookie T.J. Parker and Skyler Bell are expected to contribute significantly, with Bell coming off a standout season.</p><p>Despite the talent surrounding Allen, the Bills still lack a definitive No. 1 wide receiver. Khalil Shakir led the team in yards per route run last season, but his ranking was low among NFL receivers. The offense is likely to focus on short and middle-range passes, with tight end Dalton Kincaid leading in yards per route run among his position group.</p>
