Number 1: Buffalo Bills

While fans don’t have the luxury to know exactly what Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs will be able to do, like what the Dolphins have, there is strong evidence that the pairing of Allen and Diggs is a perfect match.

Unlike what the Patriots have with Newton and Edelman, the quarterback and wide receiver strengths are in line with one another. Josh Allen has one of the biggest arms in the NFL but struggles a bit with accuracy while Stefon Diggs is excellent in tracking the deep ball, and The Ringer even recently named him best in the league.

Diggs joined the Buffalo Bills this offseason after the team traded for him with the Minnesota Vikings. He has been highly productive over the years and has broken the 1,000 receiving mark each of the past two years.

One of the reasons Diggs is so productive is because of his route running and the top-line speed that he has. Meanwhile, Josh Allen made strides in a number of areas last year, highlighted by a six percent increase in completion percentage.

There is certainly still room to grow and if Allen can improve that completion percentage, especially on deep passes to Diggs, he will have another career year even if it means he doesn’t attempt more passes.
