The 2021 Buffalo Bills season is going to be something we have never seen before in NFL history. There will be 17 regular-season games and plenty of more opportunities for Josh Allen to etch his name in the franchise record books.

Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs were no strangers to setting new team records last season and will look to do the same. With one extra regular-season game this season, we can expect an uptick in stats for almost everyone on the team. Let’s take a look at how the Bills receivers stack up at the end of the season.

Stefon Diggs

Projections: 120 receptions, 1,600 yards, 12 TDs

In his first season with the Bills, Diggs shattered personal and team records, racking up 127 receptions for 1,535 yards and eight touchdowns. With an extra regular-season game, you may question how his receptions might decrease, it’s simply because the Bills are too good.

With the addition of veteran Emanuel Sanders, a rising star in Gabriel Davis, and one of the best slot receivers in the game in Cole Beasley, there is plenty of love to go around. Diggs will remain the focal point of the Bills offense, but there is no need to force the ball his way when there are so many other great options around.

With the Bills being a pass-heavy offense, expect the touchdown numbers to rise for all you fantasy football lovers.
