Fantasy football 2020 AFC East preview and breakdown
By Bill Pivetz
QB: Josh Allen
RBs: Devin Singletary, TJ Yeldon
WRs: Stefon Diggs, John Brown, Cole Beasley
TEs: Dawson Knox, Tyler Kroft
The Bills are one of the teams on the rise and after this offseason, they could win the division. They added a top-20 wide receiver and have a young group at the other offensive positions, starting with the quarterback.
Allen played a full season and looked good doing so. He threw for 3,089 yards, 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions. With the new addition on offense, we should see an increase to his yards and touchdowns.
Frank Gore‘s appearance hindered Singletary’s production last season. Gore had 166 carries to Singletary’s 151 however the rookie ran for 775 yards. He just wasn’t able to get in the end zone as he scored just two touchdowns. Allen had nine rushing touchdowns. Now, Gore is gone and Singletary is the lead back. I don’t believe Yeldon is a threat to Singletary’s job.
Diggs joining the Bills was the second-biggest trade this offseason, though the Vikings got much more in return. This give Allen two fast weapons on the outside with Diggs and Brown. Beasley fits perfectly as the slot receiver. Allen doesn’t throw the ball as much as other quarterbacks so there may not be as many targets for the trio. However, Diggs will be the main priority.
Knox was a late-season favorite of mine last season. He finished with 28 receptions, 388 yards and two touchdowns. He isn’t going to be an impact player in season-long leagues but in some DFS slates, Knox is worth a pick.
