I m not sure there’s a lot of love for Zay. I think there are those that belive he can be decent, and those who want him traded, cut, or just kicked off the planet. 

 

The guy is a great athlete, above average route runner and has enough speed and body control to do the whole route tree. 

 

But his hands were a disaster as a rookie and then  last year he was better but still not living up to his second round status, and still smwith some memorable drops. 

 

Personally i cant see why he can’t have an Allen Hurns type career and knock out a couple 800+ yd seasons as a contributor. 

 

Keep drafting to get better there and don’t extend him. But for many you either have what’s considered the  appropriate visceral hatred for the guy, or you want to be his soulmate.

 

Its an aspect of human nature I’ll never understand 

 

Exactly.

 

People on here love the homerun aspect but don't want a guy who can get base hits. They just want to see the long ball and all that's about it. If you can't do that your basically worthless in modern NFL. Lol. No need for blocking or being a complimentary player... Let alone knowing where you're supposed to line up draw defenders away from certain looks..

 

...It all about the deep ball...

A few long passes?

 

Less than 5 games?

 

 

Jesus.

 

Foster played the first 4 games last season, was cut and put on the PS, then came back for the last 8.

 

Thus, he played in 14 games.  You can agree to disagree opinion-wise as to his value, but you can't make up your own facts that he played in less than 5 games.

 

And if you wanna call the back half of his season, where he came in the last 7 games and caught 25 passes for 511 yards and a couple TDs "a few long passes," then we have very different definitions of "few."

 

Considering other players in the NFL routinely put up 100+ catches; averaging <4  per game isn't all that impressive

 

Unless you think 65 catches is impressive on which case I'm sure he'd continue his pace he'd have the NFL receiving yards record. And also TDs. Definitely TDs

If I had started this account a year ago. I would've started an analogous thread to the Zay Jones thread. The love for him on this board, and in general, is absurd.

 

He had a few good games (i.e. big plays). He's a speedster with a limited skillset and I find it amusing how many people can't see past it. 

[Are you drafting any Bills to your fantasy football team?]

Definitely Bills D, although I'm always a sucker for them earlier than expected.

 

Josh Allen won me a few games down the stretch last year and I think he'll be solid again this year. I'm guessing he'll run it more than he has in the preseason. So bonus points right there. 

 

Shady is kind of a sleeper for me since think this is gonna be his last year as "the guy". When he put the move on the defender and picked up the first last night it looked like something he would've done with ease in years past.

 

WRs I'm not so sure about. Beasley could be steady/not great, Smoky is probably gonna be streaky or solid, and maybe a last round flyer for Zay or Foster if there's no kicker I want

 

No TEs unless Sweeney or Knox impress the first couple weeks

["What do you not see in him?" Great [paywall] article about Josh Allen from The Athletic]

I see four straight Superbowls out of him, hence why, when creating my account I entered Allen rather than Kelly....
