Morris played 22 of the Bills' 72 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for a 12-yard gain in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round.
Morris' reception came on the first snap of a five-play scoring drive late in the third quarter that culminated in a Gabe Davis touchdown reception to push Buffalo's lead to 10 points. As per usual, Morris played second fiddle to starting tight end Dawson Knox (61 snaps, 3-20-1 receiving line on five targets), and the two are likely to maintain a significant gap in playing time so long as Knox is healthy for the duration of Buffalo's playoff run.

Bills' Quintin Morris: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Morris (illness) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Morris was inactive for last Thursday's win over the Patriots due to the illness, but he's had plenty of time to recover and should be good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Jets. Across 10 appearances this season, Morris has caught seven of 10 targets for 70 yards.

Bills' Quintin Morris: Sidelined for TNF
Rotowire
Morris (illness) has been ruled inactive for Thursday's game against the Patriots.
Morris did not participate in Buffalo's practices Sunday and Tuesday due to an illness before returning in full Wednesday. However, he still appears to be dealing with the effects of this ailment, and he will now miss his first game since Week 1 as a result. With Morris sidelined, Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney will serve as the Bills' only available tight ends versus New England.

Bills' Quintin Morris: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Morris (illness) is listed as questionable to play Thursday versus the Patriots.
Morris failed to practice in either of the Bills' in-person sessions this week before being considered a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, leaving his status for Thursday up in the air as he continues to deal with an illness. If he's unable to go, Tommy Sweeney could see a slight uptick in usage in Week 13.

Bills' Quintin Morris: Not practicing
Rotowire
Morris (illness) will not practice Sunday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Morris will start the work week sitting out, as the team is holding a practice Sunday due to the Bills playing Thursday against the Patriots. The 23-year-old has played a limited but consistent role as the backup to Dawson Knox this season. He did record a catch on his lone target for three yards in Thursday's win over the Lions, which was his first catch since Week 5 against the Steelers. If Morris is unable to play Week 13, Tommy Sweeney will likely find himself active against New England.

Bills' Quintin Morris: Week 6 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
In deeper, tight-end premium leagues, Morris could be worth adding if Dawson Knox (foot) is out in Week 6 at Kansas City. While he didn't have a big game against Pittsburgh in Week 5 with Knox out (three catches for 39 yards on five targets) -- and Knox hasn't exactly been lighting up the scoreboard -- we know finding quality tight ends in those formats are hard to find. Morris is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Bills' Quintin Morris: Impresses in first NFL start
Rotowire
Morris started at tight end and played 36 of the Bills' 56 offensive snaps in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Steelers, finishing with three receptions for 39 yards on five targets.
Even though Buffalo was down multiple complementary pieces in its passing attack with all of Jamison Crowder (ankle), Isaiah McKenzie (concussion), Jake Kumerow (ankle) and Dawson Knox (foot) sidelined Sunday, players like Morris, Khalil Shakir and Isaiah Hodgins shined in their most extensive NFL action to date. While filling in for Knox, Morris handily outpaced backup Tommy Sweeney (22 snaps) in field time and played a part in quarterback Josh Allen amassing 348 passing yards by halftime. Though Morris will move back into a more muted role if Knox is ready to go for a much-anticipated Week 6 showdown with Kansas City, the second-year player out of Bowling Green will be someone to consider as a streaming option if Knox should miss time at any point.

Bills' Quintin Morris: Playing time opens up
Rotowire
Morris' teammate Dawson Knox will miss Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a foot injury.
With the starter out of action, this leaves Morris and Tommy Sweeney to handle the majority of the tight-end duties for the Bills in Week 5. Morris saw 24 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 4, while Sweeney hasn't played since Week 1, so it'll be interesting to see if the former gets a few extra looks in the passing game against the Steelers. Morris has been active for three games this season with a collective 3-28-0 line on four targets.

Morris (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's season opener against the Rams, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Morris returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday for the first time this week, giving himself a shot at playing in the season opener. The second-year tight end was elevated to the active roster for one game last year but is still looking to make his NFL debut. If available, he'll serve as a depth piece behind Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney.

Bills' Quintin Morris: Goes from Bowling Green to Buffalo
Rotowire
Morris has signed as an undrafted free agent, the Bills' official site reports.
Morris is big and athletic and started for three years at Bowling Green, catching 125 passes in his four-year career while reeling in 13 touchdowns. He likely wasn't drafted due to the lack of top competition faced in college, plus he isn't considered nimble in tight spaces. He's also not considered a top blocker, though he does have experience in that department and isn't known as a strict pass catcher. Morris, like any UDFA, will have his work cut out for him to make the team, but the Bills -- without top talent at the tight end position -- offer as good an opportunity as any.
