Photo by The NFL season is just around the corner, and teams are gearing up for what promises to be an exciting year. One of the most intriguing storylines is the Buffalo Bills’ running back group, which has been ranked 21st in the league by Pro Football Focus. But is this ranking fair?
The Bills’ running back group is led by James Cook, who had a breakout season in 2023. Cook rushed for 1,122 yards and caught 44 passes, earning him a spot as one of the top young running backs in the league. But despite his impressive performance, the Bills’ backfield as a whole has been deemed underwhelming by some.

One of the main concerns is the lack of depth behind Cook. Ty Johnson and Ray Davis are the next men up, but they have limited experience and have yet to prove themselves as reliable options. This lack of depth has led some to question whether the Bills’ running back group is truly worthy of a top-20 ranking.
However, it’s worth noting that Cook’s performance last season was impressive, and he has the potential to carry the load for the Bills’ running game. Additionally, quarterback Josh Allen is a dynamic player who can make plays with his legs, which takes some pressure off the running back group.

In other news, former Steelers wide receiver James Washington is attempting an NFL comeback. Washington, who has been out of the league for two seasons, is hoping to catch on with a team and prove himself once again. He has received multiple inquiries from teams and could be trying out for them soon.

Meanwhile, Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is speaking out against the potential 18-game season. Fitzpatrick, who was part of a survey of NFL players, is one of the 19% who are completely against an increased season. He argues that the current 17-game schedule is already grueling, and adding another game would put too much strain on players’ bodies.
