jdegs7 77 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Clay is a great streaming option in ppr leagues - he's a guarantee to get you at least 4-5 catches and 40-60 yards, giving him an excellent fantasy floor at a very erratic position- and who knows? He always has potential for more considering how thin the Bills are at receiver. Definitely someone to consider, tight ends are a crapshoot ,but at least you know what you're getting with Clay.

Marty Funkhouser 1,202 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Yeah, he's a very solid pro. I'm hoping for him to find the end zone soon and I feel pretty optimistic we might get a big game one of these weeks. Link to post Share on other sites

munygon2 395 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Anyone else going with Clay this week? He's been hot the past 2 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites
Savatage79 2,427 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 It's between clay, Henry and maybe griffin. I just hate that he's had 2 solid games because I feel it's time for his dud, but maybe someone has more insight on how the gameflow has been working. Link to post Share on other sites
handyandy86 2,451 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 @ESquared I believe it was made a good point in another thread that weather conditions favor Clay. In Buffalo, cold, potentially wet, windy, and Miami has an ok pass rush, so it all points to shorter passes. Also Miami is in the bottom half of the league in defending TEs. I like Clay a bit more than the other WW options just because he's been getting good volume the last couple weeks. Guys like Henry or James will need a TD to put up decent numbers, but if Clay gets targets he has a pretty safe PPR floor. Link to post Share on other sites

That's sort of what I overall been leaning as clay is the only TE, whereas Henry definitely needs a td to really be significant. That might be the overall determination for me so we will see.

pastorofmuppets2 10,612 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 meh .... his ceiling is about as high as a crawlspace - if you're looking for a play that can go BOOM, try the kid Burton in Philly - Jints are atrocious vs TEs, and he's been getting volume, even with Ertz - Link to post Share on other sites

urban2014 1,741 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Buffalo is infuriating to watch unless you own Shady or Gillslee. You don't want anything to do with their passing attack Link to post Share on other sites

I'd bank on clay getting 5 to 8 before Burton all day every day fair enough ... but if i were told right now that one of them will go for 20 pts this coming week, i'd bet my last red cent on it being Burton - Clay's a very safe play in ppr, not questioning that ... but it's 'chip week, and i want more bang for my buck than a 4/33/0 stat line - gl to you all trotting out Charles of Clay ✌??

Well Clay just went for 20 pts in PPR last week, and Burton has never sniffed 20, is coming off a 2-receptions-for-2-yards game, and is playing a good NYG defense. Woof.

Burton is a second fiddle TE on his own team, and only played 22 offensive snaps last week (25%), so the idea of playing him in anything less than a 20 team league is laughable. If you have some prediction that Burton goes off this week that's a CSB, but no need to crud up the Clay thread with baseless hopes for Trey Burton. Link to post Share on other sites

CooL 3,248 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Who the heck is Burton? Clearly I don't watch the Iggles because I always thought he was a WR. Clay, Henry, Burton... I think whomever plays TE for the Texans is a safer floor and won't get you a bagel to cost you the 'ship. Link to post Share on other sites
