The Buffalo Bills seem to have a lot of doubters after an offseason full of change. Buffalo traded away star receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans, and their No. 2 wide receiver Gabe Davis left via free agency and signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

In their place, the Bills have four new receivers on their roster from a season ago with Khalil Shakir being the only wideout that was on the roster a season ago.

Despite the turnover, Diante Lee of The Ringer ranks the Bills as the No. 6 team in the NFL and says the real issue with Buffalo is on the defensive side of the ball.

"If there's something to worry about, it's the disappointing pass rush up front that couldn't get home on Patrick Mahomes in the second half of last year's divisional playoff game," Lee wrote. "Still, these are the kinds of issues Josh Allen's shoulders were made to carry the franchise through."

We'll see how much weight Allen's shoulders can carry, or if the defense can shoulder some of the load themselves.
