Two Buffalo Bills pass-catchers make NFL.com All-Breakout team

The Buffalo Bills have multiple rising stars on their current squad on both sides of the ball. However, the offense is where the crop of young talent in Buffalo is heavily stored and growing quickly.

Two of those young players earned spots on Bucky Brooks' 2024 All-Breakout Team.

The first of which is wide receiver Khalil Shakir, who is entering his third NFL season and, according to Brooks, could have his first career 1,000 yard season.

"The trade of Stefon Diggs opened up the WR1 role in the passing game," Brooks writes. "Although the team drafted Keon Coleman with the 33rd overall pick to potentially fill the void, Shakir could take over as the lead receiver following a 2023 campaign that showcased his potential as a big-play threat (39 catches for 611 yards and two scores). With more opportunities in Joe Brady's scheme, the third-year pro could crack the 1,000-yard mark."

The second skill position player on the team is second-year tight end Dalton Kincaid, who is looking to make a leap off the 73-catch platform he established as a rookie.

"With Buffalo poised to routinely utilize "12" personnel, Kincaid could become a household name as a dominant pass catcher over the middle," Brooks writes. "Although the second-year pro will share the marquee with fellow tight end Dawson Knox, the 6-foot-4, 240-pounder should thrive as Josh Allen attacks defenses with an inside-out approach that puts the Bills' TEs in prominent roles. Kincaid took a little bit to get his footing as a rookie, but still finished the season with solid numbers: 73 catches for 673 yards and two scores. And I expect a big jump in production this fall. In fact, I won't be shocked if he ends up leading all tight ends in receptions and yards in 2024."

While a lot of attention has gone to the names the Bills lost or sent away, their current group of weapons is ready to make the next step and become stars in their own right.
