2-2 (1 WR)

Devin Singletary (RB), Zack Moss (RB), Dawson Knox (TE), Tommy Sweeney (TE), Stefon Diggs (WR)

2019 Plays: 44 plays (4%)

This is a personnel grouping that will have minimal plays in 2020 because it really limits the Buffalo Bills playmakers on the field. While it is good to have Singletary and Moss in the backfield, and once again splitting a running back out wide can help create mismatches, this leaves only Stefon Diggs as a threat in the passing game.

This formation really tips the Buffalo Bills hand too much as this is a personnel grouping that is likely going to result in a run play. This personnel grouping likely would be used around the goal line and in short yardage situations.

Similar to the previous personnel grouping, the Bills could put DiMarco in the backfield with either running back and create more of a power running scheme here.
