2. Wide Receivers

The complete overhaul that general manager Brandon Beane has made at this position is rather remarkable from when he joined the Buffalo Bills to now. One of the reasons this is one of their best positions is how the players complement each other.

It starts at the top with Stefon Diggs, who in his first year with the team set a number of franchise records and put his name in discussion as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. He is a player that commands attention from defenses, creating space for other wide receivers but still able to be productive.

They also have Cole Beasley, who has become one of the top slot receivers in the game as that sure-handed target for Josh Allen underneath and in the middle of the field. On the other side of the field, the Bills have Emmanuel Sanders, who signed as a free agent and is still a deep threat, along with Gabriel Davis, who is entering his second year in the league.

After these top four, the Bills have players like Isaiah McKenzie, Isaiah Hodgins, Jake Kumerow, and rookie Marquez Stevenson. All four players could make a case to be on the team’s 53-man roster to round out the position and could contribute if the need were to arise.
