Their production this season has been better, but not by much. Bills wideouts have 21 catches through Week 3, an NFL low, and 250 receiving yards, fourth-worst in the league. The Bills have one touchdown caught by a wide receiver and have been credited by ESPN Stats & Information with five drops among their wide receivers, a drops-per-target rate of 11.1 percent that is the NFL's worst. Kelvin Benjamin, who made it clear two weeks ago that he is the team's No. 1 receiver, has only six catches and 58 receiving yards through three games. "God damn, [have] we been throwing at all?" Benjamin said Thursday when asked to react to his stat line. "But to be honest, man, it is what it is. We got 13 games left. We all know the last 13 games, a dude could go crazy each game. I'm just working, man. Just getting better. Feeling good. We gonna keep grinding and keep building this relationship with Josh [Allen]." Drops Per Target The wide receivers who have dropped the most passes that were targeted to them, among 83 qualifying WRs, through Week 3. ESPN Stats & Information PLAYER, TEAM PCT. Laquon Treadwell, Vikings 28.6% Kenny Stills, Dolphins 15.4% Terrelle Pryor, Jets 14.3% Kelvin Benjamin, Bills 14.3%

And not trying today. Even gets past the defense, makes the catch (holy frick), but then just falls down. C'mon man!
Kelly the Dog Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 It's criminal negligence to put Josh with this WR corps. It's really insane.

They didn't know Benjamin would be this bad. But they couldn't have been confident in Zay. Hopeful perhaps. But not confident. Holmes is flat awful. He's not an NFL receiver. Sure you want to keep him as a 5-6 like Marcus Easley because he's so good on ST (which he's not) then he can fill in. As a 2-3 it's insane. Foster? Who I even say we need to give a chance? Maybe as a 5 or 6 or PS. How can you have confidence in a staff that does this to their prize rookie? It's inexcusable.

They are flat out terrible. 1 1

26CornerBlitz Posted October 2, 2018 Author Posted October 2, 2018 Not great when you can't come up with 50-50 balls to take advantage of the tremendous catch radius or even haul in passes right in the ol' bread basket.
Coach Tuesday Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 I could honestly see them cutting him mid-season.
