Running Backs (5): Devin Singletary, Zack Moss, TJ Yeldon, Taiwan Jones, Patrick DiMarco

The Buffalo running game will feature a one-two punch with Zack Moss acting more as the downhill runner and Devin Singletary being the shifty, pass-catching specialist. With third-round capital behind them and a significant role planned for these two young running backs, I expect them to take up nearly all of the backfield work.

T.J. Yeldon makes the roster merely as an insurance policy for the committee in front of him. He was somewhat productive when Devin Singletary missed time last season, averaging 3.7 yards per carry and 9.5 yards per reception.

Taiwan Jones was signed mainly as a special teams contributor, as the Bills have been known to dedicate roster spots purely for that role.

It was a tough decision to choose between the veteran Patrick DiMarco and undrafted free agent Reggie Gilliam, given Dimarco played poorly last season.

Still, I think a Bills team that is all-in for the 2020 season will opt for the veteran despite Gilliam representing a cheap, high upside option.
