With Sammy Watkins out, Charles Clay has stepped into a more prominent role for the Buffalo Bills. In their last two games, Clay has played 92 percent of the offensive snaps, while ranking second on the team in targets (12). In consecutive weeks, he has posted a season-best performance, most recently catching 5 passes for 73 yards.
With Watkins nowhere near a return, Clay should continue to play a prominent role and see five to eight targets per game. In addition to an expanded role, he will benefit from a positive matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners have already allowed huge games to Greg Olsen (5 catches, 122 yards, and 1 touchdown) and Jimmy Graham (6 catches, 100 yards, and 1 touchdown, and had given up the eighth-most fantasy points (ESPN Standard Scoring) to opposing tight ends heading into Week 5.
Clay is a high-floor streaming option this week and is available in nearly 90 percent of ESPN leagues.
