BuffaloBillyG Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/12246 I really like how Zay has been coming along, but I do like this move. Hard to keep Thompson off the field when all he seems to do is make plays. Hopefully Zay keeps his head up and keeps progressing. I still say he's going to be a heckuva player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 It should be KB and DT on the outside and ZJ in the slot anyway. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westerndecline Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hes a rookie.... The talent is obviously there. Once we get our real qb, a lot of this constant switching in coaches, coordinators, systems and players will stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Yeah - I like how Zay has progressed. Deonte seems like more of a big play guy now, which we need. With Benjamin healthy, our wr corps is pretty solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 It is difficult for WR’s to be high impact in their first year. I think Jones will be a good player with time but he has not been consistent this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His catch percentage is abysmal, but the quarterbacking this year is as bad as I remember it being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Why is Rotoworld only reporting this and not the likes of Chris Brown, Mike Rodak, Sal C, Sal M, Joe B, Vic Carucci etc.... I think next year, Zay is our slot replacing Matthews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Zay will likely get the start this weekend. They say Benjamin tweaked that knee twice yesterday. I have a feeling he sits this week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Bong Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Deonte had an okay catch in a fluke game and with an absolute dime of a throw.

Chandler#81 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Good call. Jones was absolutely invisible yesterday. I focused on him a few times -in the game and on the sidelines. Deer in the headlights. When it comes to WR decisions in the off season, I hope Beane doesn’t even consider he’s on the team. I’d hate to take a pass on a quality vet ‘because we have Zey’.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 It's hard for me to get excited about anyone with 25 catches and 291 yds. I'll give Zay the benefit of the doubt with Tyrod being the QB and the blizzard game Sunday - but I'm far from liking how he's coming along. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearLess Price Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 DT was good $$ in preseason a few years back. I wish they would throw him the ball a little more. He made some huge catches vs the bucs too. I think zay is our kost targeted wr this season with the least amount of recs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swnybillsfan Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 i like what deonte has brought to the team. hr seems like a nice contributor. i think that zay is a good kid with a lot of talent/ he has shown flashes here and there but has also been wildly inconsistent. i think all he needs is that one game where he gets targeted a ton and the ball keeps coming his way. i think it is only a matter of time (and targets) for him.

BillsFan130 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Here Is the weird part. Jones sucks the first like 8 games of the year but they continue to play him over Thompson. Jones finally looks like he is coming around as a player the past few weeks, and now they demote him?... Why wouldn't they do this earlier in the year if anything? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is anointing him king anything just yet but there really isn't a question that he's been a better playmaker than Zay this year. Glad to see him get the promotion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I think there are times where DT looks like the most professional WR on the team. He just looks the part and seems to make tough catches. Kind of like the good WRs on most every other team does. It’s sad that a guy like that borderline stands out.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Mike Rodak ESPN Staff Writer Bills offensive coordinator Rick Dennison said Monday he anticipates wide receivers Deonte Thompson and Zay Jones splitting time moving forward based on game plan. Thompson started Sunday opposite Kelvin Benjamin, playing 85 percent of snaps. Jones, who began as the No. 3/slot receiver, played 61 percent of snaps and saw his role elevated when Benjamin left in the second half twice with a knee injury.

Chadwick Bay Chad Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Zay jones will be all pro in this league. Rough start yes but he has got his legs underneath now and will only get better.

Utah John Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 ZJ is not a speed guy or great after the catch, but he does know how to get open and in the past had very good hands. I think in time we'll see we've found the next Bobby Chandler -- and if you don't know who that is, all I can say is you missed a lot of great Bills games before you were born.

Magox Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Zay does struggle to get separation against top tiered DB's. I'm hoping route running can help with that, but more than anything I'm hoping he becomes the slot receiver and we end up drafting or picking up a true #2 to go along with him and Benjamin.

I think we need the other first rounder for ... well, fill in the blank. WR, LB, DL, OL, CB. Basically the only position on the team that doesn't need more good players is RB and even then we should be looking for Shady to start losing it. So I don't think we can package a lot of draft picks to move up a couple of slots. I'm not sold on Mayfield, who seems to be a good cog in a great machine and not necessarily a great QB on his own.

Big Turk Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Deonte has had two big plays which directly led to us winning both this past game abd the TB game. Zay has had like zero. Hard to argue with that. Although I'd still like to know why Thompson can't get much separation deep when he runs a 4.3 40...he's faster than Watkins but Watkins gets way more open than him.
