According to the chart in the 2025 chart thread... Buffalo was 2nd in QB TD scoring in the league. But they were tied for 4th in RB TD scoring. Their TE and WR TD suffered.

take that 4th in RB scoring TD's and divide it into two, does not make a happy fantasy owner

James Cook led the league in rushing TD's with 16, but if that worst case scenario comes true and Ray Davis adds to Josh Allen's vulturing..in addition to stealing normal touches..very aggravating

but again..that's like the worst case hypothetical from a fantasy standpoint- I personally don't see it happening

It might also be worth noting that Cook never had more than 2 rushing scores before last year, despite having 30+ more touches in '23 so that '16' could be an anomaly

I know it may sound bias since i put together the chart, but in an era where RB are splitting carries and majority of the team's TDs - percentage wise - favor the WR position, it still may be worth targeting a RB thats in an offense that uses them for scores.

well that's the thing though- in the 'Josh Allen era" last year's 18 scores form the RB is an extreme variation from the norm.
'23 = 7
'22 = 8
'21 = 12
'20 = 8
'19 = 4
'18 = 4

I"m not really buying that all of a sudden the Bill's RB is where it's at for Rb TD's

There's arguably one thing rarer than a workhorse RB, and thats a solid QB. Bills would be smart to hand off to a RB rather than risk injury to Allen. Although Trubisky may be secretly hoping for some playing time.

Agreed, I've been saying that for years now. That was why I was high on Damien Harris in '23- who flamed out in spectacular fashion instead. FInally came to fruition last year.

Now will they continue that? I truly hope so, for Cook's sake, and for Allen's long term health's sake. And I have zero shares of either one

I think we'll see Allen dial it back a bit as he ages, but big time game vs key opponent? He'll still bulldoze into the defense if that's what's available

That's pretty amazing, I didn't realize that.

Sure could be an anomaly, but it could also be a 3rd year breakout.

Lotsa scenarios goin' on here...

Was kinda surprised..I get that first year, he wasn't the guy, all that, but year 2, he was THE guy, and just couldn't get it in. Granted Allen had 15...but dang, would 4-6 be out of the question? 2?? Really?

16 last year, in fewer carries no less, just boggles my mind. It's difficult to trust

To be fair, he did catch 4 TDs as well, so there's that.

But who knows with Allen running the show.

Outside of the unicorns like Faulk, LT, CMAC..I try really hard to never put much into RB receiving scores. Very hard to predict or bank on. Receptions, yes. That can be safely assumed in many cases (or safely dismissed in others). But the scores, never know.

King Henry had 2, tieing his career high from 5 years ago.. and zero in between, despite two years with double his normal total in receptions tossed in the middle
