Buffalo Bills: 53-man roster projection entering training camp
By Aaron Tully
Wide Receiver (6):
Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis, Cole Beasley, Emmanuel Sanders, Isaiah McKenzie, Isaiah Hodgins
The Buffalo Bills boast one of the deeper receiving corps in the NFL. Unfortunately for the Bills, that means that they will have a tough decision to make at the bottom of the depth chart.
Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis, Cole Beasley, Emmanuel Sanders, and Isaiah McKenzie are all locks. That leaves one spot up for grabs.
That spot will be contested between Isaiah Hodgins, Marquez Stevenson, Jake Kumerow, Duke Williams, Tanner Gentry, Brandon Powell, and Lance Lenoir. Williams, Gentry, Powell, and Lenoir are essentially just bodies for training camp, so they will be the first ones to go.
Kumerow has a chance to make the practice squad, but his chances of making the 53 man roster are slim to none.
Between Hodgins and Stevenson, the Bills will probably go with Hodgins due to his red zone abilities that he flashed at Oregon State. Stevenson will at worst be a member of the practice squad.
Tight End (3):
Dawson Knox, Jacob Hollister, Reggie Gilliam
With Zach Ertz rumors beginning to die down, it looks like the Bills will choose between the six tight ends currently on the roster. Dawson Knox and Jacob Hollister are locked in so that leaves just one or two spots for the other four tight ends.
Due to his versatility as both a tight end and a fullback, Reggie Gilliam is likely to edge out Tommy Sweeney, Nate Becker, and Quinton Morris for the final tight-end roster spot. Sweeney would likely be a member of the practice squad, while Becker and Morris would be looking for new clubs in 2021.
