Buffalo’s win total seems fair upon first inspection; The team has gone 10 wins in each of the last four campaigns, but it has seen significant turnover during the 2024 offseason, refocusing its core around young players while moving away from strong starters like Stefon Diggs, Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, Tre’Davious. White, Gabriel Davis and Mitch Morse.

That said, quarterback Josh Allen is still leading the offense, and the former All-Pro has a bevy of promising pass catchers at his disposal. Dalton Kincaid and Khalil Shakir have both shined throughout the 2023 campaign, and they figure to play big roles in a revamped passing attack that also features rookie Keon Coleman and free agent signee Curtis Samuel.
