The Buffalo Bills deployed a fantasy football manager’s worst nightmare last year: the “RBBC,” or running back by committee. That approach doesn’t allow armchair folks like us to know which player is going to help us dominate our friends and coworkers in fantasy football, but it does allow for teams to keep a stable of rested, healthy runners.
While that approach has become the norm of late, it didn’t work very well last year in Buffalo. Whether due to poor blocking, poor play-calling, or poor performance on the part of the running backs themselves, one thing is clear: Buffalo did not run the ball effectively during the 2020 season.
