T.J. Yeldon

The first player on this list has to be running back T.J. Yeldon. The former Jacksonville Jaguar joined the Bills last offseason but wasn’t a key part of this offense. Even after the team released LeSean McCoy, it was mostly Devin Singletary and Frank Gore that got the work.

He finished the season playing in only six games and had 17 total rushing attempts for 63 yards with no touchdowns.

This offseason the Bills not only added Zack Moss out of Utah in the third round but also brought in Taiwan Jones, who will likely contribute on special teams, as well as reportedly signed undrafted free agent Antonio Williams out of the University of North Carolina.

These players will all be competing with preseason star Christian Wade, who spent this past season on the practice squad. The depth the Bills have at running back is rather impressive and since Yeldon doesn’t offer much on special teams, he could be the odd man out.
