The Bills are hoping their 2020 offseason will make a big difference in regard to their offensive output next season.
Buffalo took a big step forward in that department by trading for wide receiver Stefon Diggs already. A move like that has an impact all over the team’s offense, but it also does on fantasy football.
With Diggs’ acquisition, Buffalo’s offense improves, and puts the team up to four players listed in Pro Football Focus‘ fantasy football player rankings recently released following free agency. Here’s that breakdown:
42. Devin Singletary, BUF
46. Stefon Diggs, BUF
76. Josh Allen, BUF
78. John Brown, BUF
Overall, Singletary lands as the 19th ranked running back, a position that’s of the upmost importance in fantasy football. While Allen ranks much further away from Singeltary on the list, quarterbacks are not of the upmost importance in fantasy football. So despite being No. 76 overall, Allen actually ranks as the seventh-most valuable QB per PFF’s rankings. Several of the QBs listed ahead of Allen, such as Lamar Jackson and Russell Wilson, are of the dual-threat type of quarterback, like Buffalo’s signal caller.
Naturally as the Bills’ presumed No. 1 target, Diggs out-ranks Brown. But both wideouts could have their fantasy football impacts. Both players are coming off 1,000-plus yard seasons, and Brown did so without Diggs drawing much of the attention in Buffalo’s offense. Now that Brown is the No. 2 guy for the Bills, he could end up being a sneaky-good fantasy football sleeper in 2020.
