DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer "clearly" the top 4 in Bills receiver room, per @JoeBuscaglia. Skyler Bell is a roster lock but his "game-day role will be determined through preseason games."

Bills Rookie WR Skyler Bell is outside the Bills top 4 WRs right now, per @JoeBuscaglia “The Bills’ top four WRs are “clearly” DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer.”

On the flip side it seems like Skyler Bell, who was solid at OTAs, seems to be on the outside looking in for meaningful WR snaps early in the season Palmer and Coleman are competing for WR3 There was buzz a few weeks ago that the team might still add Cooks too

NegativeDepth ChartAug 8, 2026Buffalo Rumblings

Source projects Buffalo's top five receivers to be Khalil Shakir, DJ Moore, Joshua Palmer, Keon Coleman, and Skyler Bell, though the depth chart is not set in stone. Bell's path to offensive snaps depends on whether he can outperform Coleman or Palmer down the stretch of training camp and preseason, or whether he can secure a special teams role (punt/kickoff return) to guarantee a game-day roster spot.

Despite solid training camp performance with great burst and route-running ability, Bell faces significant playing-time hurdles. Veteran Joshua Palmer had a good camp and third-year player Keon Coleman is doing good things, making it tough for Bell to find early offensive snaps. Source notes Bell has had drop issues in camp and lacks a special teams role (punt/kickoff return) that would secure him a game-day roster spot. Unless Bell can beat out Coleman or Palmer for reps, his early-season role will be limited to specific packages.

Fourth-round pick (No. 125 overall) from UConn with elite college production: 101 catches, 1,278 yards, 13 TDs in 2025; consensus All-American and Biletnikoff Award finalist. Combine metrics show excellent speed (4.4-second 40-yard dash) and burst (41" vertical, 11'1" broad jump). Source projects Bell will make the 53-man roster and be active on game days in specific packages, though initial assessment of immediate third/fourth receiver impact may have been premature due to depth chart competition.

Bell has shown drop issues during training camp that could limit his early-season offensive opportunities. The source notes he has had trouble securing catches after beating corners off the line of scrimmage, which is a concern given the depth at receiver and the competition from Joshua Palmer and Keon Coleman for snaps.

The source initially envisioned Bell making an immediate impact as the third or fourth receiver upon draft, but has revised that assessment downward. Bell is now projected to be one of Buffalo's top five receivers on the roster (alongside Khalil Shakir, DJ Moore, Joshua Palmer, and Keon Coleman), but his offensive snaps will depend on whether he can improve drop issues and secure a special teams role.

The source drafted Bell in the fourth round (No. 125 overall) as a speedster with excellent burst and route-running ability. He is expected to make the Bills' 53-man roster and be active on game days in specific packages, though his immediate playing time will be limited by veteran competition. Bell has a speed element that most of Buffalo's other wideouts lack, but will need to secure catches consistently and potentially contribute on special teams (punt/kickoff return) to earn early offensive snaps.

Another fun period of 1 on 1s -Keon Coleman with two really nice reps vs Max Hairston -Josh Palmer took exception to IGB grabbing him on a rep. Tiny shuffle followed -IGB locked down Palmer on a deep ball on the next rep -Skyler Bell with a nice rep #BillsMafia @BuffaloPlus
