Shavers could see added reps as a depth piece behind Coleman, particularly in three-wide packages. His ceiling hinges on opportunity, and Week 1 could see a glimpse of his potential as a deeper threat if the top targets are constrained.

Shavers earned a season-opening roster spot after a standout preseason; he switched to No. 14, a digit tied to Buffalo's recent receivers Watkins and Diggs. His college journey and a 69-yard preseason touchdown signal upside as a big-play option behind Diggs and Davis.

Shavers has led Bills receivers in the preseason and delivered a touchdown, earning a first 53-man roster nod. His size, contested-catch ability, and preseason production position him as a high-upside depth option entering the season.

Shavers burst through after two releases from Buffalo’s final cuts, leading the Bills in preseason receiving yards (123) and delivering the longest preseason catch (58 yards) plus a one-handed TD. His trajectory from practice squad to 53-man roster signal suggests a real opportunity for Week 1 reps if he maintains health and production, offering deep-league fantasy upside as a specialized target. Buffalo's depth chart will monitor his route-running and special-teams value closely.

Shavers’ one-handed TD in the finale deepens the WR room, potentially clinching a roster spot for a player who can contribute as a returner or on special teams.
