Charles Clay is among the best paid players in the NFL, both on the Buffalo Bills and at the tight end position overall. In 2017, the veteran tight end led the Bills in receiving yards with 558. He was also second on the team in both targets (74) and receptions (49).
None of these are eye-popping numbers, but how much of it is because Clay played in an incredibly conservative, low-volume passing offense? It’s hard to ding the players catching the passes for posting such low volume numbers when the reason for their low production—low volume—is entirely out of their control.
