The Buffalo Bills are trying to trade Bryce Brown, despite not having anyone healthy at that position.

If you are a Fantasy Football owner worried about the workload getting split from LeSean McCoy in Buffalo, you might be able to rest easy. Despite having basically no depth at all at the position as it stands now, the Bills are reportedly looking at working on a trade that involves Bryce Brown.

According to Albert Breer form NFL Network, there is no deal yet at the moment, but the Bills are apparently kicking around the idea of moving Brown — which indicates that he might get cut if a deal doesn’t happen.

This is interesting not in that the Bills are trying to trade Bryce Brown, but that they’re trying to trade a running back when they have virtually no depth at the position. It’s possible that LeSean McCoy won’t be available for the first week of the season, and Fred Jackson is now in Seattle on a one-year deal after being surprisingly cut the other week.

If the Bills move Brown, it will leave them with abysmal depth at running back, and sets them up for a rough start to a season that could be plagued by injuries at the position. If McCoy is already going to be hurt to start the season, there’s no guarantee that he’s going to hold up for the entire year. The only logical line of thinking that might be going on is that Percy Harvin could be used in packages like he was in Minnesota by coming out of the backfield.

But Harvin isn’t really the most reliable player when it comes to not getting concussed, and things in Buffalo are already off to a Rex Ryan style dumpster fire of a start.
