BUF TE Charles Clay - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Miami
Charles Clay has had exactly five catches in each of the last three games (so he has been consistent), but he is still looking for his first touchdown of the season. He was targeted seven times last week, which was the most of anyone on the team. Clay does have an ankle injury, but did practice and is expected to play.

Clay will face his former team on Sunday, and the Dolphins are 15th in aFPA to tight ends. Last season, Clay had mixed results with five catches for 82 yards and a touchdown in Week 3 and one catch for 6 yards in Week 9.

The Bills offense will struggle on the road without LeSean McCoy, who injured his hamstring. Don't expect much from Clay other than what you have been getting (and that's not enough to start him for Week 7).

BUF TE Charles Clay - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs San Francisco
Charles Clay had his best game of the season last week in Los Angeles with five receptions for 73 yards. It's puzzling why the Bills haven't used him more because of the lack of offensive weapons.

This week's opponent San Francisco 22nd in aFPA to tight ends. We want to see Clay continue to put up decent numbers, but until he does, his ranking stays down at a TE2 for Week 6.

BUF TE Charles Clay - Week 5, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Los Angeles
Charles Clay bounced back last week after a rough Week 3. The veteran tight end caught five passes for 47 yards, both season-highs. The Bills will be looking for players to target in the passing game with No. 1 wide receiver Sammy Watkins now on the IR.

Even though Clay may see more targets, we don't see the numbers rising too much. And definitely not enough to warrant a fantasy start. Keep Clay on the bench against LA for Week 5.

BUF TE Charles Clay - Week 4, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at New England
Charles Clay was held without a catch last Sunday and was targeted only twice. With the Bills lacking legit receiving options, you would think Clay would be more involved with the offense, but that has not happened so far.

He is not an option this week on the road at New England. Keep him on the bench for Week 4.

BUF TE Charles Clay - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. New York Jets
Charles Clay had the biggest play of the game against Cincinnati with a 33-yard reception last Sunday. Unfortunately, he only had one other catch and ended up with just 40 yards. The Bills paid Clay a big contract last year, so you would expect Buffalo to get him more involved. That hasn't happened enough to where you can count on him from a fantasy standpoint, however.

The Jets have done a good job against tight ends (including last week), so Clay only rates a low-end TE for Thursday night due to the matchup and the Bills struggling offense.

BUF TE Charles Clay - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Baltimore
Charles Clay was given a big contract last season and his 2015 results were ho-hum. He did have issues with his back which forced him to miss three games, but the overall results weren't as good as they were in Miami.

The Bills are hoping he is more efficient and productive in his second year in the system. However, it might not come in Week 1. Baltimore's pass defense wasn't very good in 2015, but they did do a good job against tight ends - fourth best in the NFL in limiting fantasy points.

Unless Clay really upgrades his numbers, he will be TE2 most of the year and that is the case this week where is a low-end TE2. Keep him on the bench for now until he shows us he's worth a weekly start.

BUF TE Charles Clay - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Charles Clay has put up impressive numbers the past three seasons, two with Miami and his first with Buffalo. Although 2013 was the best of the three, he has still been consistent with at least 51 catches all three years. The Bills will continue to use him in the passing game as there aren't many great options after Sammy Watkins and LeSean McCoy.

Fantasy Downside
Although Clay's numbers are decent, they probably won't get much better. He is a very average tight end despite the big contract Buffalo gave him.

2016 Bottom Line
Clay is a solid TE2 and who can give you a spot start here and there. He is going around the 17th-18th round which is the right spot on for him. Don't expect much more than a good backup fantasy tight end.
