Clay (knee) brought in all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 23-3 loss to the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Clay continues to work through a nagging knee ailment to take the field each week and has posted at least three catches in three consecutive games. However, the 28-year-old's upside continues to be capped by the erratic nature of the team's quarterback play, as he's tallied more than 31 receiving yards just once in the last five contests. With a trio of single-digit YPC figures over the last four games in tow, Clay will look to boost his production against a fantasy-friendly Colts defense in Week 14.

Clay (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Clay has seen both his workload and productivity pick up in each successive contest since returning from a three-game absence, having caught four passes for a team-high 60 yards in Week 12's triumph over the Chiefs. With big-bodied wideout Kelvin Benjamin (knee) out again this week, Clay figures to be firmly on QB Tyrod Taylor's radar Sunday against a New England squad that has reeled of seven straight wins.

Clay (knee) was limited for the third straight practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
This has been the method of operation for Clay since he returned from a knee procedure; in fact, he might be healthier than he's been all season. Clay will play Sunday as the Bills try to upset the Patriots, but just in case there's a setback his owners have the advantage of the Bills playing in the early wave of games.

Clay will be a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's likely that Clay will be listed on the team's practice report with a knee injury, which has been the case in advance of each of the Bills' last three games following the tight end's three-game absence after undergoing arthroscopic surgery. While Clay may be battling some lingering soreness in the knee, it didn't seem to be affecting him much in the Week 12 win over the Chiefs, during which he caught all four of his targets for 60 yards. He also played 45 offensive snaps in the contest, his highest total in his three games since returning from the knee procedure.

Clay (knee) caught all four of his targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win at Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
The majority of Clay's yards came on a 33-yard catch that resulted from a whiffed interception attempt by a Kansas City safety. He was easily Buffalo's leading receiver in this one and amassed his second-highest yardage total of the season. Despite his heavy involvement when the team opts to pass, the tight end's fantasy value in Buffalo's run-heavy scheme remains limited.

Clay (knee), as expected, is active for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clay was a hot pickup earlier in the year when he was healthier and had a good rapport going with Tyrod Taylor, but ended up missing three weeks with a knee injury and has struggled since returning, catching just five balls for 40 yards in the past two games. The Bills will need some of that previous chemistry with Taylor re-taking the starting QB job and the Bills trying for an upset and an end to an ugly three-game losing streak.

Clay (knee) is expected to play Sunday against Kansas City, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
EDGE Analysis
Clay was limited in practice all week, but he apparently did enough to play Sunday. The return of Tyrod Taylor under center helps his fantasy prospects, though his upside is still touchdown dependent.

Clay (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game after the Chiefs after practicing in a limited fashion all week.
EDGE Analysis
We'd expect Clay to be a go this weekend, though his status is worth confirming in advance of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff. Clay -- who has been quiet in two games since returning from his knee issue -- could be more of a factor in the Bills' passing game in Week 12 if big wideout Kelvin Benjamin (who did not practice this week) is unable to suit up Sunday. Meanwhile, Tyrod Taylor has been re-installed as the Bills' starting QB and he enjoyed a solid rapport with Clay prior the tight end getting hurt in Week 5.

Clay (knee) was limited for the second straight practice Thursday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clay was DNP-limited-limited last week and still played in the Week 11 loss to the Chargers, so the odds are good he'll play in Week 12 even though the odds are also good he'll end up with a questionable designation Friday. The Bills play in the early wave of games Sunday, were Clay could be a factor in the passing game if one or both of wide receivers Kelvin Benjamin and Jordan Matthews have to sit.

Clay (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Clay has been quiet in two games since returning from the knee injury, catching five passes for 40 yards on seven targets. Tyrod Taylor's return to the starting role is probably good news for the veteran tight end, though he'll still be tough to trust against a Kansas City defense that has surrendered a league-low 34 completions to tight ends. Clay probably isn't in much danger of missing Sunday's game.
