The Buffalo Bills got a massive contribution from wide receiver Tyrell Shavers in Week 11.

With Keon Coleman getting benched last week, shavers stepped up in a big way with four receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown in what was a career-best game for him.

However, Shavers is not off to a good start in Week 12 against the Houston Texans, even with Coleman out once again.

Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Tyrell Shavers playing tonight?

UPDATE: As we approach the end of the third quarter, still nothing for Shavers and, no, he's not injured.

UPDATE: We are through an entire half of football and Shavers hasn't so much as received a target. It looks like last week was a fluke.

UPDATE: Shavers still has not received a target through three drives. It's starting to look like last week might have been a mirage.

Yes, Shavers is active and in the lineup, he just hasn't been targeted in the passing game yet.

The Bills need Shavers to get going at some point, so he should be involved in the passing attack moving forward.
