Charles Clay limited in practice on Thursday, should be ready to go for fantasy owners
Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay participated in a limited practice session on Thursday while nursing a calf injury. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy impact: There's a chance both Sammy Watkins, LeSean McCoy, Karlos Williams and quarterback Tyrod Taylor will all sit out the game against the Bengals. That many injuries to starters are sure to leave any offense a mess.
The good news is that Clay has emerged as a top pass catching option in Buffalo already, so no matter who is under center against Cincinnati, he should still be able to get his numbers. If there is a silver lining in the optimism surrounding Clay's outlook it's that the calf injury bothered him enough to limit the tight end to just one catch against the Tennessee Titans last week.
Fantasy owners definitely have to start Clay if he plays against the Bengals if only because of the fact that nobody will stand in the way of him getting targets. Even the return of Sammy Watkins to the lineup shouldn’t scare anyone, if the sophomore wideout does indeed play.
