Predicting the 2022 season stat leaders for the Buffalo Bills

Buffalo Bills 2022 leader in receiving yards: Stefon Diggs
Stefon Diggs has been a huge boon for Buffalo since he was acquired in 2020. Allen’s No. 1 target has put up big production, with a league-leading 1,535 yards in 2020 and a 1,225-yard performance the following year. Both of these performances have earned the former Minnesota Vikings receiver a Pro Bowl nod.
The established chemistry between Allen and Diggs will obviously continue to grow, as the Bills’ offense is set to take the field with their new offensive coordinator. In a press conference during training camp, Diggs spoke about the connection he has with his franchise quarterback:
"…it’s about dominating. That’s my mindset. I don’t want to lose. I never want to lose. But with [Allen], staying where we need to be as far as — you know Josh is super hard on himself as well. Good play, bad play, not riding that roller coaster. Your next play is your best play. And I believe that. That’s my quarterback. I’m rocking with him regardless. I just want to dominate and I don’t want to lose.”"
Given that Diggs is by far Allen’s favorite receiver, it would be very shocking to see anyone other than Diggs lead the team in receiving yards (and receiving touchdowns) in 2022. Allen/Diggs is one of the best quarterback-wide receiver combos in the NFL, and it’s a strong connection that will stick around for many years to come.
