Shane Buechele surged in Buffalo’s preseason finale, completing 25-of-30 for 278 yards and a TD, making a case for a practice-squad role as insurance behind Josh Allen and Mitchell Trubisky; the 53-man cut keeps him close to the roster as injury depth.

Buechele threw for 278 yards and a TD on 25-of-30, playing all game in the finale. The impressive box score cements him as a legitimate fourth option behind White, hinting at a QB4 path rather than a true back-of-roster flyer. Fantasy angle: If he sticks as a fourth choice, his value remains limited, but he could push for practice-squad or emergency-situation reps.

Shane Buechele’s lob to Shavers for the one‐handed TD showcased his mid‐season accuracy and timing with a top late‐camp option. His connection with Shavers hints at a potential depth QB role that could influence Buffalo’s practice squad and depth chart decisions.
