Diggs also led the league in a pair of categories. He paced his peers in both receiving yards (1,537) and receptions (127). This was his first season in Buffalo, and helped lead the Bills to the No. 2 overall seed in the AFC.
This was his third consecutive season to clear 1,000 receiving yards. Diggs also scored eight touchdowns, which was the second-most in his career.
Dobbins led the NFL in yards per rush at 6.0. That’s an outstanding mark for Dobbins, who had a great rookie campaign in Baltimore. He was part of a time share with the Ravens, but still finished the season with 805 yards and nine touchdowns.
