Emmanuel Sanders

Projections: 40 receptions, 620 yards, 4 TDs

Emmanuel Sanders is entering his first season with the Buffalo Bills. After spending last season with a banged-up Drew Brees, Jameis Winston, and Taysom Hill, he’ll be very happy to lineup with Josh Allen under center. Catching 61 balls, for 726 yards and five touchdowns last year while Michael Thomas was dealing with injuries, Sanders continues to be a reliable target entering his 12th season.

The three-time 1,000-yard receiver has done everything in the league and will be a nice addition to the already stacked Bills receiver room. I don’t expect Sanders to put up huge numbers with Buffalo, but instead, be a solid role player and locker room leader for the guys around him.
