Josh Allen and James Cook were one of the best rushing duos in the league last season (26 total touchdowns). The problem is, Allen is not a running back. It was clear that the loss of Stefon Diggs significantly impacted the Bills’ offense, and they feel they’ve cured that with the addition of D.J. Moore from Chicago.

Moore has had four seasons eclipsing 1,000 yards receiving and had a significant down year in 2025. He was targeted only 85 times, catching 50 balls for 682 yards. He should see quite a few more thrown his way from Allen in 2026, and the connection will be mutually beneficial.

The acquisition cost the Bills a second and fifth-round pick in the 2026 draft, but if Allen and Moore have a connection that’s anything like Allen and Diggs in 2020, then the cost is a pittance. Moore could be the piece that allows Allen to finally make it to the big game.
