Buffalo Bills

How effective will the Bills offense be in 2017?

The Buffalo Bills have made plenty of efforts to change up their offense this season, most notably sending off wide receiver Sammy Watkins to the Los Angeles Rams, via a blockbuster trade.

Watkins, who underperformed last season, opens up the door for receivers like Zay Jones and Jordan Matthews to have big seasons.

That is, if quarterback Tyrod Taylor is good enough.

Taylor and the Bills offense will have to be multi-dimensional to be effective. This puts more pressure on running back LeSean McCoy to return to his impressive ways. Although it’s going to be tough to replicate last year’s efforts.

2017 will be a prove-it year for Taylor and McCoy, who might not figure into Buffalo’s long-term plans.
