Fantasy Impact: After trading away Sammy Watkins, the Bills needed someone to step up and Charles Clay has fit in perfectly. He is averaging 5-6 targets per game and is coming off of a five catch, 112 yard performance against the Falcons. Clay has great size and athleticism, which is a perfect compliment to the Bills strong run game that opens up easy throws off of play action.
Unless you have Rob Gronkowski (Who is hurt) or Travis Kelce you won’t find many better tight end options. Clay has caught 11 of his 13 targets over the team’s last two games, which bodes well against a struggling Cincinnati Bengals defense. His 227 receiving yards to date rank fourth among NFL tight ends.
Recommendation: START
