The Buffalo Bills faced skepticism regarding their receiving corps as they headed into the 2024 season, particularly after the departure of star receiver Stefon Diggs. Questions arose about the potential of Khalil Shakir, the impact of veteran acquisitions Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins, and the contributions of rookie Keon Coleman. Shakir excelled, achieving career-high numbers, while Hollins emerged as a favorite target for quarterback Josh Allen.

Despite these developments, the Bills realized they needed more and traded for Amari Cooper. Although Cooper showed flashes of his past brilliance, his consistency fell short of expectations. The absence of Diggs was keenly felt, as his last season with the Bills was still statistically superior to what any of the current receivers managed in 2024. The Bills must now reassess their receiving options heading into the offseason.
