4 Bills' player prop bets bank on slump-busting efforts from Josh Allen, James Cook

Khalil Shakir
60+ receiving yards (+147)

He's registered at least 45 yards receiving in four of six games, including two over the 60-yard mark. The trusted pass-catcher may see an uptick in targets in Week 8 due to the absence of wide receiver Joshua Palmer and the perceived vulnerability of Carolina's linebackers in pass coverage.

Shakir should be able to work effectively over the middle against the Panthers, especially since tight end Dalton Kincaid, who is listed as questionable, may not be 100 percent if he plays. He averages 5.7 targets per outing, and I think he sees at least seven balls thrown his way this week.

James Cook
3+ receptions (+118)

Outsiders have been clamoring for Cook to become a larger part of the Bills' passing attack, considering he's proven to be an elite runner with the ball in his hands. Buffalo's primary ball carrier made at least three receptions in three of the season's first four games before being shut out in back-to-back losses.

Whether it's on a designed wheel route or a check down over the middle, Cook should get a handful of targets on Sunday afternoon as the Bills' offense looks to break out of its slump.

James Cook
Anytime touchdown (-145)

Cook was kept out of the end zone in each of the Bills' last two losses, which followed a stretch of five touchdown rushes over the season's first four games. In 2024, Cook scored 18 regular season touchdowns while tying the franchise's single-season rushing TDs record (16).

Surprisingly, the Bills have not scored a rushing touchdown since Week 4. It's highly unusual for an offense that scored on the ground in 16 of 17 regular season games one year ago.
