2025 Dynasty Division Outlook: AFC East
With the draft in the books, we’re covering each NFL division’s dynasty fantasy football outlook. We’ll bring you an overview of each team, highlight the best and worst positional groups, and make some predictions for the division as a whole. Let’s jump into it!
AFC East Outlook
Buffalo Bills

The Bills offense is anchored and led by one of the best quarterbacks in the game, Josh Allen. Last year he faced adversity, with Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis leaving the team in the off-season. Despite that, he still finished the season as the QB2 for fantasy football. It’s the fifth year in a row he finished as a top-two quarterback. As long as he’s healthy, Allen has proven that his floor is higher than any other quarterback in the league. Even when the weapons around him take a step back, he continues to dominate fantasy leaderboards.
With that said, his weapons take another step in the wrong direction this year. Amari Cooper had a terrible season, but he’s moved on, along with Mack Hollins. On paper, the receiver corps in Buffalo could be one of the worst in the league, but having Allen throwing them the ball raises their value for fantasy. Khalil Shakir had the best season of his career, finishing as the WR37 in PPR. He had 100 targets last year, and I expect that to increase this year as the leader of this group. Keon Coleman had a disappointing rookie season, only catching 29 passes. The Bills’ homegrown wide receivers have traditionally been late bloomers (see Shakir), so hopefully he’ll take a step forward this season.
The additions to the receiver group are uninspiring, highlighted by Joshua Palmer and Elijah Moore. These two could compete for a starting receiver role in three-receiver sets. It isn’t a stretch to say that one of them could have their best fantasy football season of their career this season. Palmer’s career year topped out at WR37 while Moore’s best was WR49. At tight end, Dalton Kincaid has yet to live up to his hype coming out of college. The fact that Allen hasn’t taken advantage of Kincaid’s talent has to be a ding to his value. Tight ends can take a long time to settle in in the NFL, but going into year three it may be put up or shut up time for Kincaid.
