wide receiver battle Outside of veteran Kelvin Benjamin White Stephen Hauschka Jerseys , the Buffalo Bills boast many options at wide receiver, but each of those options comes with question marks. There’s 2017 second-round draft pick Zay Jones (drafted 37th overall), who suffered through an inconsistent rookie season that saw him be targeted 74 times (tied for second on the team) but come down with only 27 catches for 316 yards with two touchdowns. Drops were a major issue for Jones. Former first-round draft pick Corey Coleman, a speedster who hauled in 56 passes for 718 yards with five touchdowns in his two seasons in Cleveland, but who also missed 13 games due to a broken hand injury suffered each season, was acquired in a trade with the Cleveland Browns. Jeremy Kerley seems destined to line up as a slot receiver after signing a free agent contract with the Bills this offseason, while Andre Holmes, Malachi Dupre, and Rod Streater seem among the most likely returners to contribute at wide receiver this year. We asked Football Outsiders which options will step up and secure the Nos. 2 and 3 spots on the wide receiver depth chart. “It’s a hard question to answer,” Rivers McCown said. “From the outside, the answer is easy: Corey Coleman was an easy first-round pick for me and I thought he was a good buy-low opportunity for a Bills team in desperate need of outside help. The fact that Coleman could only draw nominal interest, though Stephen Hauschka Jerseys 2019 , is concerning in and of itself. The next three weeks are huge for his career.”“I think the easiest answers to your question are Holmes and Kerley. Holmes is such a size-speed mismatch that he appeals heavily to coaches who look at this sort of thing and not at who will actually catch a football. He also is probably the best blocker in the group, which I think will be a big draw in a close competition. Kerley will be catching 30 balls a season for a weak passing offense in 2039, that’s just what he was built to do. While I wasn’t necessarily down on Zay Jones as a prospect, it’s clear he has some good will to restore at this point.”Ray-Ray McLoud, a sixth round draft pick in 2018, Austin Proehl, selected with the next-to-last pick of the draft, and undrafted free agents Cam Phillips and Robert Foster are two other names to watch as the wide receiver depth chart shakes out over the coming weeks. While there aren’t a lot of household names among the corps of wide receivers, there will be ample opportunities for the wide receivers to step up and contribute in offensive coordinator Brian Daboll’s system.The Football Outsiders Almanac is available now. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP)Jameis Winston’s sore throwing shoulder held up fine. The same can’t be said for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who continue to find ways to collapse. A week after spraining his right shoulder, Winston had 384 yards passing – the second-most of his career – and three touchdowns. That still wasn’t enough in a game the Buccaneers gave up 10 points – including Stephen Hauschka’s 30-yard field goal with 14 seconds left – in the final 2:28 of a 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. ”It’s tough to lose White Jordan Poyer Jerseys ,” was Winston’s lone response when asked how he felt physically. ”We fight. We know we’ve got it in us,” Winston added, before holding up four fingers for effect. ”We just have to find a way to do it for four quarters,” he said. ”Four quarters is what the game is. Not just two. Not just three. Four.” Tampa Bay (2-4) found a different way to lose in dropping its third straight game. Last week, the Bucs were unable to overcome Winston being hurt on the opening drive, or after falling behind 31-0 in a 38-33 loss at Arizona. Two weeks earlier, former kicker Nick Folk missed three field-goal attempts in a 19-14 loss to New England. Against Buffalo, Winston rallied the Bucs from a 17-6 deficit to take a 27-20 lead on a 12-yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans with 3:14 remaining. Then the bottom fell out. Tampa Bay’s defense sagged by allowing the Bills to tie the game on a three-play, 75-yard drive capped by LeSean McCoy’s 7-yard run. Then the offense unraveled on its first play from scrimmage of its next possession. Bills rookie cornerback Tre’Davious White stripped receiver Adam Humphries of the ball and recovered it at Tampa Bay’s 33 to set up Hauschka’s field goal. ”We dug in, we’ve got to dig out,” coach Dirk Koetter said. ”I believe in those guys.We didn’t do enough today. And all we can do is come back next week.” The Bucs defense, which entered the game with the NFL’s second-worse against the pass Jordan Poyer Jerseys 2019 , once again proved to be a weak link. Buffalo posted season highs in points, yards offense (434) and yards passing. Tyrod Taylor finished 20 of 33 for 268 yards and a touchdown with an injury-depleted group of receivers. Deonte Thompson, who was signed on Tuesday, led Buffalo with 107 yards receiving. ”Just stay the course. Don’t blink. Don’t flinch,” defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said. ”Everybody else around us gets to sulk and do all this other stuff, but for us as a team, as coaches, we just have to go back to work.” Winston’s performance wasn’t without its blemishes. He turned the ball over twice over the final three possessions of the first half. Winston lost a fumble when he was sacked by Ryan Davis. He also threw an interception with 23 seconds left, when linebacker Matt Milano picked off a pass intended for Cameron Brate to give Buffalo the ball at the Bucs 26. Buffalo failed to score off both of Winston’s turnovers. ”This is a great chance for this team to show how resilient we are,” Winston said. ”I know we’re going to keep battling. We’ve got to find a way to win.” —
