Records first TD as Card
Clay recorded a five-yard touchdown catch during Sunday's 23-17 defeat to the Steelers.
Analysis: The end-zone visit was Clay's first of the season, and therefore as a Cardinal. Occurring with 1:56 remaining in the second quarter, it marked the last time the Cardinals held a share of the lead (10-10) in this game. While Clay made an impact in the box score, fellow TE Maxx Williams did not. On the other hand, Williams slightly out-snapped Clay, 32-23 (of 60 on offense). As a result, neither player has much viability in the fantasy realm.

Targeted twice Week 13
Clay corralled both of his targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: After failing to make a mark in the box score for the first time this season Week 11, Clay emerged from the Cardinals' bye with his third multi-catch performance of the year. He even was on the receiving end of the team's longest play from scrimmage, a 23-yard reception in the first quarter. Because he continues to split TE work with Maxx Williams -- 331 versus 335 (of 807) offensive snaps for the season -- Clay isn't set up to be a consistent contributor to the offense.

No receptions Sunday
Clay didn't haul in his only target during Sunday's 36-26 loss at San Francisco.
Analysis: For the first time in a Cardinals uniform, Clay didn't make a catch, breaking a 10-game stretch to begin his tenure in the desert. Still, he's not in a position to contribute consistently due to having to share TE duties with Maxx Williams from week to week. With the team on bye Week 12, Clay's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Dec. 1 against the Rams.

Makes one catch Week 10
Clay reeled in his only target for five yards during Sunday's 30-27 defeat at Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Clay had a three-catch, 88-yard outburst Week 8 at New Orleans, but otherwise his line for the season reads 10-81-0 on 14 targets. He's also yielding work at TE to Maxx Williams, earning one more offensive snap (32 to 31) than his counterpart Sunday. Look for the breakdown to continue, which gives neither much leeway to produce on a weekly basis.

Hauls in one pass Thursday
Clay recorded one reception (on two targets) for six yards during Thursday's 28-25 defeat to the 49ers.
Analysis: Coming off a season-best three catches for 88 yards Week 8 at New Orleans, Clay reverted back to his typical stat line, as he failed to reach double-digit receiving yards in five of the first six games of the year. He also ranked behind fellow tight end Maxx Williams in terms of offensive snap share, 42 versus 74 percent. Expect both players to continue splitting the workload at the position moving forward.

Good to go Week 9
Clay (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game versus the 49ers.
Analysis: Clay opened the week with back-to-back listings of limited participation on the Cardinals' practice report, only to put in a full showing Wednesday. With his status not in question for Thursday, he'll continue to split the tight end reps with fellow veteran Maxx Williams.

Surfaces on injury report
Clay (back) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Clay is coming off his best performance of the season with three catches for 88 yards in Sunday's loss to the Saints. He may have tweaked something in the contest, as Clay wouldn't have been at full speed if the Cardinals held a practice. The 30-year-old tight end has a short timetable to get healthy with Thursday's matchup against the 49ers on deck.

Season-high yardage tally in loss
Clay secured all three of his targets for 88 yards in the Cardinals' 31-9 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: A big chunk of Clay's surprising yardage haul came on a game-high 47-yard grab on Arizona's first drive. The veteran tight end typically is a minimal part of the offense, and even on Sunday, he logged only three looks overall. Therefore, Clay's breakout is very likely an outlier that he'd be challenged to replicate against the 49ers in a Week 9 Thursday night matchup.

Contributes one catch Sunday
Clay gathered in one of two passes for 12 yards during Sunday's 27-21 win against the Giants.
Analysis: After breaking out for two receptions Week 6, Clay settled back into the one-catch outings that he's experienced in every other game this season. Targeted just 11 times through seven contests, he has an 8-70-0 line, which trails fellow tight end Maxx Williams' 8-103-1 on his eight targets. Clay (46 percent of the snaps on offense Sunday) and Williams (49 percent) will continue to split work at the position, making them difficult to trust for production from week to week.

Makes two receptions Sunday
Clay had two receptions (on two targets) for eight yards during Sunday's 34-33 win against the Falcons.
Analysis: This marks the first time Clay has made more than one catch in a game in a Cardinals uniform, and he's only reached double-digit receiving yards on one occasion in six appearances. Further hurting his standing is fellow tight end Maxx Williams, who has earned eight more offensive snaps on the season, regularly plays special teams and boasts a modest stat line (7-98-1 on seven targets versus 9-58-0 on nine targets for Clay).

Records one catch Week 5
Clay reeled in his only target for 27 yards during Sunday's 26-23 victory in Cincinnati.
Analysis: The Cardinals were down two wide receivers -- Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring) -- in this contest, which forced coach Kliff Kingsbury to go with more 12 personnel than he has all season. The result was a season-high snap share for Clay, who slightly out-snapped fellow tight end Maxx Williams, 44-43. Having said that, neither player has contributed much to the NFL's 19th-ranked pass offense, with Clay himself posting a 5-50-0 line on seven targets through five games.

Notches another reception
Clay caught one of two passes for three yards during Sunday's 27-10 defeat to the Seahawks.
Analysis: At the quarter mark of the season, Clay and Maxx Williams have logged the exact same number of offensive snaps (71), good for a 24.7 percent share apiece. Williams has been far more efficient with his three targets, though, averaging 19 YPT to Clay's 3.8 (on six targets). Considering the meager workload and lacking output, Clay doesn't hold much sway in fantasy.

Manages one catch again
Clay hauled in his only target for nine yards during Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Clay has been a glorified blocker in his first three games as a Cardinal, recording exactly one catch in each one and being targeted just four times overall. He continues to increase his offensive snap share -- 16 to 25 to 33 percent so far -- but impact on the box score has been lacking. On a positive note, Maxx Williams' reps have fallen each week, so Clay seems to be the preferred tight end in a high-tempo offense.

Makes one catch Week 2
Clay caught one of two passes for six yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss in Baltimore.
Analysis: Clay's offensive snap share increased slightly from the season opener to Week 2, going from 16 to 25 percent. The usage hasn't lent itself to production, as he has just three targets through two games. Also hurting his cause is the scheme, which includes four and occasionally five receivers on most plays. As a result, Clay is trending toward being a non-entity in fantasy in 2019.

Targeted once in tie
Clay caught a single pass for a five-yard gain during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Lions.
Analysis: Though atop the depth chart, Clay ended Sunday trailing backup Maxx Williams in offensive snaps, 22 to 14. Neither total was particularly impressive, nor were their combined two targets for 20 total yards. One game of the Kliff Kingsbury era is far too small a sample size to judge and the offense certainly hit its stride in the fourth quarter and overtime, but the Cardinals used four-receiver sets at an enormous clip. If that continues, Clay's value would be diluted no matter whether he plays…read more

Makes first appearance with Cards
Clay started and played seven offensive snaps during Saturday's preseason loss at Minnesota. He finished with two catches for four yards.
Analysis: Clay earned one target on both of the Cardinals' first two drives from rookie signal-caller Kyler Murray. Elsewhere in the tight end corps, fellow first-teamer Maxx Williams didn't have a pass come his way during Clay's brief time on the field, while Ricky Seals-Jones wasn't targeted until Clay left the field. After opening training camp on the PUP list due to a knee injury, Clay appears to have locked down the top spot on the TE depth chart, but his snap count could be limited in the regular…read more

Misses second preseason game
Clay (knee) didn't play in Thursday's preseason loss to Oakland.
Analysis: Activated off the PUP list just five days prior, Clay never had much chance to suit up Thursday, but he could make it back for the third week of the preseason at Minnesota. His position atop the preseason depth chart doesn't guarantee him anything, with Ricky Seals-Jones and Maxx Williams also competing for snaps at tight end. Clay has a long history of knee injuries, and while he's played at least 13 games in each of his eight NFL seasons, he's played all 16 just once (2013).

Activated off PUP list
The Cardinals activated Clay (knee) off their PUP list Sunday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Clay had been dealing with a knee injury that has forced him to miss time up until this point, but was finally cleared to practice. The 30-year-old found a new home in Arizona after he was let go by the Bills. Clay is expected to compete for a starting role at tight end.

Lands on PUP-P
Clay, who is dealing with a knee issue, was placed on the physically unable to perform list Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Clay, who was released by the Bills in February following four seasons with the franchise, signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals in the offseason and is expected to be the team's starting tight end this season. The Cardinals don't report to training camp until July 24, so it's possible the veteran tight end could be ready to practice shortly after, but the PUP listing allows for Clay and the team to manage his rehab at a slower pace. Ricky Seals-Jones stands to benefit the most should…read more

Lands on feet in Arizona
Clay is signing a one-year contract with the Cardinals, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: The 30-year-old tight end was released by Buffalo on Friday after playing out four seasons of a five-year, $38 million contract. He'll settle for a much smaller figure this time around, receiving a $350,000 signing bonus on a deal that maxes out at $3.25 million including incentives, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Clay likely will challenge Ricky Seals-Jones (neck) for playing time, with more help possibly on the way once the Cardinals survey the landscape during free agency and the draft. It also…read more

Cut by Buffalo
Clay was released by the Bills on Friday, Joe Buscaglia of WKBW.com reports.
Analysis: Signed to a five-year, $38 million contract during the 2015 offseason, Clay never quite lived up to his paycheck but did start 53 games the past four seasons despite dealing with a number of injuries. Friday's transaction clears up $4.5 million on the 2019 cap sheet while leaving the Bills with Jason Croom and Logan Thomas (a restricted free agent) at tight end. Clay celebrated his 30th birthday earlier in the week and may have to settle for a part-time role on the open market.

May not return to Buffalo
Clay finished the 2018 season with just 21 catches on 36 targets for 184 yards over 13 games. He did not find the end zone.
Analysis: Clay looks nowhere near the player who was once a big problem for secondaries, as this was his lowest output since the 2012 season and production nowhere near commensurate with his five-year, $38 million contract. He still has one year left on the deal, but his numbers are so far off from what the Bills are paying for -- not to mention he's almost always on the injury report -- there's talk the Bills might let him go a year early and reboot the position.

Surprise scratch Week 16
Clay (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday against New England.
Analysis: Clay has seen his workload reduced significantly during the back half of the season, as he's been targeted just five total times since Week 8 (though a hamstring injury played at least a bit of a role in that). He's still been able to make the active roster, however, as Buffalo never had a week with both Jason Croom and Logan Thomas at 100 percent. According to Joe Buscaglia of WKBW.com, that tight end duo is healthy this week, leaving the 29-year-old Clay as a healthy scratch.

Shut out in Week 15 win
Clay was targeted just once in Sunday's win over the Lions and finished without a catch on 41 offensive snaps.
Analysis: Clay was a good fantasy receiver at one point in his career, but those days are long over, at least in this offense. He's simply not being looked at in the passing game, with just five targets over the last three games since he returned from a hamstring injury. Clay has somehow failed to find the end zone all season, while his game high in catches is four and yardage is 40. Ouch. He signed a five-year, $38 million contract with the Bills in March of 2015, but we imagine the relationship may be…read more

Draws season-low snap share
Clay caught one of his two targets for six yards Sunday in the Bills' 27-23 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Though the Bills were without one of the three tight ends on their roster in Jason Croom (groin), Clay still only played 42 of the team's 76 offensive snaps. That translated to a season-low 55 percent offensive snap share for the 29-year-old, who could continue to lose work to Croom and Logan Thomas over the final three weeks as the Bills look to open up opportunities for their younger options at the position. Clay is under contract through 2019 and carries a $9 million cap hit, but his shaky…read more

Lost chance for heroism
Clay, returning after missing two games due to a hamstring injury, caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: It was the catch that he didn't make that stands out, as Clay was wide open in the end zone with seconds left and the Bills trailing by four. Josh Allen's pass fluttered too much and Clay couldn't come up with it, though in fairness it would have been a great catch had he dove and help on. Clay may be close to healthy again, but with an awful 20-178-0 line on the season, he can pretty much be safely ignored in fantasy play.

Cleared for return
Clay (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Clay was able to return to practice on a limited basis this week, paving the way for a return to the field for the first time since Week 9. He saw steady work in the offense from Week 2 through Week 8, catching at least one pass in each game, but never surpassing 40 receiving yards and failing to reach the end zone. It's unclear how the Bills plan to work Clay into their game plan at this time, which makes him a bit of a risky fantasy play, though he is listed as a projected starter. The…read more

May play Week 13
Clay (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins after practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday.
Analysis: Clay looks like a good bet to return to action after missing the Bills' last two contests. Considering he hasn't caught more than four balls or found the end zone even once in 2018, Clay represents little more than a dice roll for fantasy purposes if he achieves an active status come Sunday. At least he's getting healthier again, and Clay did finish the 2017 season strong after a series of disappointing starts earlier in that campaign.

Logs another limited practice
Clay (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: With back-to-back practice appearances, Clay has a shot to return to action Sunday against Miami, the team that drafted him in 2011. If he does suit up, however, he wouldn't be a high-percentage fantasy play in Week 13. In nine games to date, the tight end has logged the modest total of 19 catches (on 31 targets) for 169 yards and zero TDs.

Practicing in limited fashion
Coach Sean McDermott said Clay (hamstring) would be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of WKBW.com reports.
Analysis: It marks the first time since Clay suffered the hamstring issue in the Bills' Nov. 4 loss to the Bears that he'll be able to practice in any capacity. Given that Clay has been held out of action for the team's past two games, he'll likely need to progress to full participation by the end of the week in order to take back a normal workload in Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Progressing from hamstring injury
Though Clay (hamstring) didn't play in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Jaguars, he hasn't experienced a setback in his recovery, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Clay didn't practice at any point last week and missed his second straight game with the hamstring issue, but is apparently making slow but steady progress. The Bills' passing game didn't produce much against Jacksonville in Week 12, as quarterback Josh Allen totaled 160 yards through the air while completing eight of 19 attempts. If Clay can return to practice in some capacity this week, he should have a shot at suiting up Sunday against the Dolphins.

Won't play Week 12
Clay (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against Jacksonville.
Analysis: Clay failed to practice in any capacity this week, resulting in a "doubtful" tag entering the Week 12 matchup. With the tight end set to miss his second consecutive game, Jason Croom and Logan Thomas are next up on the depth chart, though neither share the pass-catching upside of a healthy Clay. Prior to the team's Week 11 bye, the duo caught just a single pass for one yard against the Jets, despite Clay being inactive for that contest.

Hamstring issue clouds Week 12 status
The Bills' Thursday practice estimation lists Clay (hamstring) as a non-participant.

Won't partake in practice
Coach Sean McDermott said Clay (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The fact that Clay still isn't practicing coming out of the Bills' Week 11 bye isn't the most encouraging of signs with regards to his outlook for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Unless Clay is able to fit in some work Thursday or Friday, the Bills will proceed with Jason Croom and Logan Thomas as their primary tight ends in Week 12.

Clay (hamstring) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Following their Week 11 bye, the Bills held practices Monday and Tuesday, but the team won't have to provide its first Week 12 injury report until Wednesday. With Clay still not resuming on-field work, it's expected that he'll officially go down as a non-participant Wednesday, casting early skepticism on his chances of playing Sunday against the Jaguars. If Clay misses a second straight game, Jason Croom and Logan Thomas would likely split work at tight end.

McDermott indicated the Bills are considering adding a tight end to the roster, but regardless, either Logan Thomas or Jason Croom figures to get the start in Clay's place.

Misses another practice
Clay (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Per Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo, Clay was spotted working with trainers off to the side during the portion of practice that was open to the media.

Unless Clay's recovery from the hamstring issue takes a dramatic turn for the better over the next couple of days, he seems poised to miss his first game of the season Sunday against the Jets. If that's the case, Jason Croom -- who established season highs across the board in the Week 9 loss to the Bears with three…read more

More injury issues
Clay, who suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's loss to the Bears, was labeled "week-to-week" by coach Sean McDermott on Monday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Clay rarely makes it through the season or even the practice week fully healthy, and with the latest injury it looks like he could be missing some game action. McDermott tends to label his guys "day-to-day" if they have at least a decent chance of playing in the next game, while he generally uses the "week-to-week" label for players that are expected to miss some time. We'll know more in Clay's case when the Bills resume practice Wednesday, while it can't hurt the 2-7 Bills to get a better look…read more
