The Buffalo Bills are among the best teams in the NFL because they have bonafide stars on their roster like Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, Von Miller, Tre’Davious White, Jordan Poyer, and Micah Hyde. These players are some of the best at their position and their play this upcoming year will be a major deciding factor in how this season unfolds for Buffalo.

However, another reason the team has a good chance of being successful is that they have good depth in key areas of their roster. This helps Buffalo be in a better position to handle potential injuries as they come up during the season but also implement some of the game plans that have made them successful over the years.

They may not be starters but these four players are going to be very important to the Buffalo Bills this upcoming season.

James Cook

Devin Singletary is the starter at running back but the addition of James Cook gives the Buffalo Bills a complete and versatile position group. The combination of Singletary and Cook provides offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey plenty of options with formations and motion that should give the offense an advantage.

James Cook showed during his time at the University of Georgia that he is an excellent pass catcher and is a player that can run routes out of the backfield but also line up on the line as a wide receiver.

The Buffalo Bills while they finished last season near the top of the league in passing yards, they struggled to create yards after the catch. This is another area that Cook should help this offense improve and while he may not be a starter on the depth chart, he will be a big part of their game plan this season.
