How will the workload be split between Devin Singletary and Zack Moss?

This is probably the top question on everyone’s mind for the Buffalo Bills running back position entering 2020. It would certainly make sense that Devin Singletary would get a majority of the work based on how he finished last year. From Week 8 to Week 16, Singletary played 60% or more of the offensive snaps and averaged 95 yards from scrimmage.

However, the Bills front office did use a high draft pick on Zack Moss and it wouldn’t make sense for them to use their third round pick for Moss to just be a complimentary piece.

The former Utah running back is a powerful running back that had three straight seasons with over 1,000 rushing yards and should compliment the elusiveness of Singletary in this backfield. The split between the two backs is really going to come down to how quickly Moss can pick up this offense after no offseason practices and a limited preseason.

As the season progresses, it would not be a shock if the snap count becomes almost split evenly between the two backs.
