Scouting report

BUF TE Charles Clay - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Los Angeles Chargers

Charles Clay returned from injury playing for the first time since October 8th. His impact was limited to 3 targets and 2 receptions. He still is not 100% and he has been limited in practice, but will play Sunday and will have a new quarterback as rookie Nathan Peterman gets the call.

Clay has a tough matchup as the Chargers are ranked second in aFPA to tight ends. With all the factors including the new QB, Clay's fantasy ranking isn't where it was or where it can be. So leave him on the bench for Week 11.

BUF TE Charles Clay - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. New Orleans Saints

Charles Clay has not played since Week 5 but could be back this week. He had been playing very well and had been ranked as a TE1 on a consistent basis. Buffalo is still being cautious with Clay who has been limited in practice.

New Orleans has been tough on tight ends, ranking 8th in aFPA versus the position. If Clay plays, he can help you in Week 10 so start him as a low-end TE1 on Sunday.

BUF TE Charles Clay - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Cincinnati Bengals

Charles Clay had a big day in Atlanta on Sunday—catching 5-of-7 targets for112 yards. Clay has worked his way into the fantasy conversation as a starter each week and that is true yet again in Week 5.

With No. 1 receiver Jordan Matthews expected to be out, Clay becomes the main target in the passing game along with LeSean McCoy. Considering his numbers have been very good this year, Clay is ranked as a TE1 against Cincinnati, even though the Bengals rank fourth in aFPA to tight ends. Start Clay in all leagues and formats for Week 5.

BUF TE Charles Clay - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Atlanta Falcons

Charles Clay did catch his second touchdown of the season, but his other numbers remain average. He was targeted 6 times, recording 3 receptions for 39 yards. Clay does lead the team in red zone targets (5), which gives him some fantasy value.

The Bills will face Atlanta who is 11th in aFPA to tight ends. He has been involved in the Buffalo offense at the end of last season and now the first three weeks of 2017. This is enough to start him as a TE1 for Week 4.

BUF TE Charles Clay - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Denver Broncos

After a strong Week 1, Charles Clay was not a factor last week in Carolina with only 3 catches for 23 yards. Buffalo's offense struggled on the road and Clay's numbers showed it.

Going into Week 3, Clay is questionable with a knee injury. He did practice on Thursday which means he is likely a go unless there is a setback. Clay will face a tough Denver defense that is fifth in aFPA to tight ends. Keep him on the bench against the Broncos this week as he is ranked as a solid TE2.

BUF TE Charles Clay - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Carolina Panthers

Charles Clay had the best day of anyone catching the football for Buffalo last Sunday with 4 catches for 53 yards and a touchdown. More importantly, he was targeted 9 times which takes you back to when he was a Dolphin and those were regular numbers.

Will he see those types of target numbers on a regular basis? Still to be determined, but he definitely moves up the tight end rankings this week. It's a good matchup for Clay in Week 2 against Carolina, who stopped everyone last week except the opposing tight ends. Clay isn't a Week 2 fantasy starter, but he is high-end TE2.

BUF TE Charles Clay - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. New York Jets

Charles Clay is like many of the Bills skill players. Opportunity to contribute to the offense with Sammy Watkins gone is there. But will Clay be one of those players who benefits?.

Since coming over from the Dolphins, Clay has not been able to replicate what he did in Miami. However, the Week 1 matchup is favorable against a Jets defense that was 23rd in aFPA to tight ends in 2016.

Clay is not a Week 1 starter, but he is valued as a solid TE2. Clay is worth a roster spot as your primary backup to start the season.
