Buffalo Bills: Top questions at running back before free agency

The Buffalo Bills likely were hoping to not have questions at the running back position this offseason. They have added Devin Singletary and Zack Moss the past two years but the production just wasn’t there this past season.

These are the top questions at running back for the Buffalo Bills before free agency next month.

Question 1: Do they add another running back this offseason?

The top question is do the Buffalo Bills feel they need to add another running back or were the issues more than just Devin Singletary and Zack Moss. This past year the Bills ranked 17th in rushing attempts, 20th in rushing yards, and 15th in rushing touchdowns.

However, those numbers got a boost with quarterback Josh Allen running for 421 yards and 8 rushing touchdowns. This would be two more rushing touchdowns than Singletary and Moss had combined.

Some stats though point to the issue being more playcalling and run blocking as Moss and Singletary only averaged 1.8 and 1.5 yards before contact respectively. Another stat that could indicate poor blocking is that Singletary finished with the fourth-highest time behind the line of scrimmage at 2.96 seconds and Moss was 23rd with 2.78 according to Next Gen Stats.

This stat though could indicate the running backs reluctance to be decisive and hit the hole. If the Buffalo Bills do add a running back, it will likely be a complementary back to Moss and Singletary.
