Brandon Beane thinks Buffalo Bills will use “hot hand” approach at running back

Since the Buffalo Bills released veteran running back LeSean McCoy, the team has embraced a running-back-by-committee approach to its offensive backfield. After McCoy led the Bills in touches with 346 in 2017, his workload was reduced significantly in 2018, as he only touched the ball 195 times that year.

Granted, some of that reduction was due to injury, but the Bills also saw fit to give Chris Ivory 128 touches in 2018. The following year, Buffalo split their touches between Frank Gore and Devin Singletary nearly evenly, as Singletary had 180 touches and Gore had 179.
