    Stud: Robert Foster, wide receiver

    Foster won’t put up WR1 numbers, but he’s an intriguing late-round selection that landed him on the Deep State wide receiver sleeper list.  Late last season he developed chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen. In the final seven games, Foster had 25 receptions for 511 yards and 3 touchdowns. He’s an attractive target at 6’2” and has tremendous speed. The Buffalo Bills invested heavily in their offense this offseason, including a number of new receivers, but expect Allen to remember the success he had with a familiar face in Foster.

    Dud: LeSean McCoy, running back

    Long gone are the days of McCoy being considered a first or even second-round fantasy selection. He is the incumbent starter and will likely be selected several rounds too early by a running back-desperate owner based on name recognition alone. Don’t be that owner.

    McCoy will be 31 years old when the season starts and coming off career lows in rushing yards (514) and yards per attempt (3.2). The Bills see what’s coming and responded by signing free agents Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon. Buffalo also drafted the shifty Devin Singletary in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. While the Bills offense is trending up, their aging running back is trending down.
