John Brown

The Buffalo Bills signed John Brown prior to the 2019 season and in his first season with the team was the leading receiver with over 1,000 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns. However, this past season wasn’t as productive, due in part to injuries.

Brown finished the year with 33 receptions, 458 receiving yards and three touchdowns in 12 games. However, 10 receptions, 152 receiving yards, and two touchdowns came in the first two weeks of the season.

In terms of consistency, Brown was the opposite of Diggs as he had five games with two or fewer receptions. While the Buffalo Bills would like to have John Brown back, it will likely be hard to justify his salary along with some other players stepping up in place of Brown when he was hurt.
