Clay turned a team-high 10 targets into just four catches for 37 yards in Sunday's 37-16 loss to the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Clay almost scored a touchdown late in the first half, but failed to survive the ground after hauling in the ball. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor loves throwing to his veteran tight end, so Clay will be a high-floor option when Buffalo attempts to end an 18-year playoff drought next week in Miami.

Clay (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in New England.

EDGE Analysis

Clay is three weeks removed from his last showdown with the Patriots, who contained him to his third-fewest yards (20) in an appearance this season. He is coming off a campaign-best nine targets, though, a workload that could help Clay produce if he's more of a focal point in the passing attack. Indeed, Kelvin Benjamin continues to push through a knee injury, making Clay one of Tyrod Taylor's more reliable pass catchers.

Clay (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Clay was on the field for 76 percent of the Bills' snaps on offense in Week 15's win over the Dolphins, en route to hauling in five of his nine (tied for a season-high) targets for a team-high 68 receiving yards. With his practice limitations Wednesday likely linked to routine maintenance, we expect Clay to be fine for Sunday's game against the Patriots. He'll be needed too, considering the banged-up state of his team's wideout corps.

Clay (knee) caught five of nine targets for 68 yards during Sunday's 24-16 win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

The nine targets tied a season high for Clay and his five catches and 68 yards were his most since going down in early October with a mid-season knee injury. The veteran tight end will get another opportunity to beat up on the Dolphins in Week 17, but will have to take on the Patriots first. New England held Clay to just 20 yards in a 23-3 Week 13 win over the Bills.

Clay (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins after practicing fully Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Clay is coming off back-to-back quiet efforts, but working his favor is that the weather conditions for Sunday's home game against his former team won't nearly as challenging as the snow that turned Week 14's 13-7 win over the Colts into a run-driven affair. Moreover, the return to action of QB Tyrod Taylor figures to help Clay, who could end up being a key target in Week 15, with the Bills' top wideout, Kelvin Benjamin, still dealing with knee soreness.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Clay (knee) will be a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bills haven't said so officially, but Clay's restricted practice reps is likely designed to limit the strain on his knee, for which he required arthroscopic surgery earlier this season. It's expected that Clay's practice involvement will be limited in advance of each of the final three regular-season contests, but he doesn't look to be at any real risk of missing action. However, it's looking unlikely that the tight end will rediscover his strong early-season form. After opening the campaign with 20 receptions for 258 yards and two scores in the Bills' first five games, Clay has managed 14 receptions for 131 yards and no touchdowns in his five games since coming back from the surgery.

Clay brought in two of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 13-7 overtime win over the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

The air attack for both teams was decidedly underwhelming in Sunday's blizzard-like conditions, so that must be factored in when considering Clay's minimal contributions. The veteran tight end should enjoy an expanded role for the balance of the campaign with Jordan Matthews (knee) now on injured reserve and Kelvin Benjamin having exited Sunday's contest with a knee injury of unknown severity.

Clay (knee) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Clay is good to go for Sunday's game against the Colts, who have struggled to contain the pass this season. One key moving part in terms of Clay's Week 14 fantasy upside, however, is the status of QB Tyrod Taylor, who is currently dealing with a knee issue that limited him to individual drills Thursday.

Updating a previous report, Clay (knee) did not practice Wednesday after initially being expected to have a limited showing, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clay has been frequently limited in practices in an attempt to preserve the wear and tear on his balky knee, but the complete absence Wednesday is a step back from three limited showings last week. If Clay makes even a limited appearance Thursday, however, we're not going to be worried about his status for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Clay (knee) will be limited during Wednesday's practice, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is likely going to be the method of operation for Clay the rest of the season, where he plays Sunday but his reps get restricted throughout the week in order to keep him mostly healthy. Of bigger concern might be the situation at quarterback, where Tyrod Taylor (knee) is a big question mark for this week. Clay has a good rapport with Taylor, but it's a bad offense as it is and playing with rookie Nathan Peterman would be a real challenge for those involved in the passing game.
