Buffalo Bills: Early look at key training camp battles on offense

Running Back

Devin Singletary vs. Zack Moss

The final position battle is in my opinion the most interesting but it may end up even being that important with how the coaching staff has split the workload at running back. This past season Devin Singletary started the year as the team’s primary ball carrier and was getting more than half the work.

However, as the season progressed Moss started to cut into the playing time more and was actually receiving more touches than Singletary down the stretch. In the three final games, not counting Week 17 when both players were rested, Singletary averaged 10.3 touches per game while Moss averaged 13 per game.

In the end, it may not matter as much which player is determined to be the starter as the Buffalo Bills have operated almost exclusively out of a two-running back system since 2018 with the work split pretty evenly between two backs under Sean McDermott.

This could be the season though where the work tends to lean towards one running back and that would have to be Zack Moss as he brings more power to the position and is the team’s goal-line back.
