When the Buffalo Bills decided not to match the New England Patriots’ offer for backup running back Mike Gillislee, it opened up a hole that the team previously had very well-covered. Gilliselee’s departure opens up the possibility of earning time for someone like Joe Banyard.
Although the Bills are perfectly set at the top of their running back depth chart with starter LeSean McCoy, the NFL is often a game of whose depth can outlast whose, and the Bills seem to be lacking in that department in many areas.
