1. Andre Reed/James Lofton (1989-1992)

The best wide receiver duo in Buffalo Bills history has to be Andre Reed and James Lofton, who played four seasons together from 1989 and 1992. While Lofton was 33 years old when he joined the Bills, he was still an excellent deep threat and in four seasons with the Bills averaged 18.1 yards per reception.

These two players were key parts of the Bills ‘K-Gun’ and were a part of the team’s first three trips to the Super Bowl. After the 1989 season, Lofton was primarily a starter opposite Andre Reed and would finish each season with over 700 receiving yards and 18 total touchdowns. The best season was in 1991 with 1,072 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.
