Buffalo Bills' 53-man roster projection: Depth at receiver, D-line creates tough decisions

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills open the 2021 NFL regular season against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 12 at Highmark Stadium. The Bills finished 13-3 last season, winning the AFC East for the first time since 1995 and falling to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

Buffalo returns all of its core from last season and made quarterback Josh Allen one of the richest players in NFL history with a massive six-year extension.

The roster will be cut to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Here is a projection:


QUARTERBACK (2): Josh Allen, Mitchell Trubisky

Allen is the safest player on the Bills' roster and one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, and Trubisky might have established himself this preseason as one of the best backup quarterbacks in the league. But with players standing out at a few other positions, neither Jake Fromm nor Davis Webb have been impressive enough to be considered locks. The Bills will be better off keeping one on their practice squad.

RUNNING BACK (4): Devin Singletary, Zack Moss, Matt Breida, Taiwan Jones

Singletary has turned in a strong preseason, while Moss has struggled through a hamstring injury. Breida's speed and playmaking ability have lived up to the hype and Jones is a valued contributor on special teams.
