Has the light finally gone on for Zay Jones?

Zay will probably finish the year with about 50-55 receptions, 600 plus yards, and 5-6 TD's, that's with one of the worst QB situations in the league throwing to him. That's a legit NFL WR right there. Those numbers alone without any context are better than average WR3 numbers but factoring in the context of the season that's even more impressive. If Zay can be a solid WR2 that 2017 draft will have provided 2 good to great starters on both sides of the ball all at fairly critical positions.

Watching Zay these last 4 games are going to be very interesting.

He has continued to improve but now he is facing a new challenge.

As crazy as it sounds Zay will be getting the best DBs covering him.

He will be the Bills #1 receiver with KB gone.

 

Another good reason to get KB off the team.

We get to see how good Zay might be.

Not yet but he is getting there. This kid had so much potential coming out. Can't wait to see what he can do next year. And hopefully we will have a true #1 WR next year that can give him more space to operate.

 

Curious today to see if he plays split end. When we drafted him I always thought that Split End was is most natural position. But we have always had to put him in as a Flanker or slot do to not having anyone to fill those positions and Benjamin was a split end as well.

Just like this board. Someone has a bad game and he sucks, then they have a good game and everyone loves him. Now he has a bad game and the board is bashing him again

 

How many good games has he had?

 

Last week, definitely.

 

How many others?

Given his position, catching balls that reach you are important. 

 

Darrius Heyward Bey is known to be a good blocking receiver and has somehow parlayed that into a long career.  Apparently that has value in the NFL.  He is not valued for his receiving skills.  I think Zay was drafted as a catching receiver, so his drops are definitely a cause for concern.  If he was a late, or undrafted player I don't think we'd have the same issues.  We used a 2nd round pick on him, so the expectation is higher.  Now that he's our "#1" receiver, even more will be expected.

I'm not saying the guy is outstanding, but overall he has been a solid receiver this season. He doesn't always have tons of yards, but has made some nice catches when we needed a play.

He’s an average #3.

He has improved a lot this year since his disastrous last year, but it was still not that good. And yeah today he totally sucked. I wasn't even surprised last INT was thrown in his direction. If it's one bad game, it happens. But he hasn't built enough confidence in him yet to have too many of those.

He improved from "maybe we should cut him this offseason" to every two or three games he shows up.  By shows up I mean 4 catches for 60 yards or something that a good reciever does in the first half of most games they play.  He appeared to have all the tools when he was drafted to be like a Josh Reynolds or even a Cooper Kupp but he just drops too many passes and continues to do so.
