Bills Today | How many touchdowns will Stefon Diggs produce this season?
‘”Well it’s really exciting for Brian Daboll because we’ve seen him be super creative with Josh Allen and now he has two legitimate deep threats,” Frelund said. “If you look to see last season Josh Allen only completed 4 of 37 deep passes to receivers other than John Brown. So Brian Daboll is going to say, ‘Hey what did he do in Minnesota? Those play-action passes are going to work. We have two legitimate wide deep threats.’ He’s going to have so much fun planning for Josh Allen. And for me that nets in a projection for wide receiver No. 25, Stefon Diggs, 72 receptions, 910 yards and five touchdowns.”‘

Buffalo Bills place WR Cole Beasley on Active-NFI list; WR Duke Williams & DT Vincent Taylor on Reserve/Covid-19 list
‘The extent of the injury and how it occurred isn’t known, but the Bills can now keep Beasley on the 80-man roster while he recovers from the injury. The non-football injury list is a designation for players who suffered an injury not related to a football game/practice. If Beasley isn’t ready to play by final roster cutdown the team would have to place him on the reserve/non-football injury list. In that case he wouldn’t count against the team’s 53-man roster limit but wouldn’t be able to play or practice for the first six weeks of the season.’
What can Buffalo Bills expect from Motor/Moss pairing? (Training camp 2020 RB preview)
‘“This allows Devin more opportunities to show what he can do for the team,” GM Brandon Beane said upon releasing McCoy. “We believe in LeSean and still believe he can play, but you can’t look at every decision in a vaccum. After the draft Devin was a guy we were excited about, but some guys transition faster and some guys transition slower. That’s one of the decisions. Who is ready in that running back group to contribute right away? And we just felt right now that Devin would be able to help us along with the other guys that we’re keeping.”’
