Summary
The Buffalo Bills added several running backs to the roster, with TJ Yeldon and Frank Gore via free agency and Devin Singletary via the draft, but they say LeSean McCoy remains their top option in the backfield. However, last season McCoy was bad and seemed to hit the wall as his yards per carry dropped from a mediocre 4 to a paltry 3.2. His touchdowns, which have rarely been a selling point, also fell to just three and he saw his targets tumble to 46 from 2017's total of 77. Even allowing for outside factors--a shaky offensive line, a running quarterback, poor tools around him--McCoy just doesn't look like the same running back. At 30 and in the final year of his contract, you have to assume the Bills are looking past him now, and while the team may be heading towards an upswing, that might not involve McCoy as much as it used to.

Our View: Devin Singletary has dominated first-team snaps so far, but that was mainly to give the veterans rest time. This still looks like a three-man committee, although that could change if a team has an injury at running back and comes calling for McCoy.link to story
