This might be the week that the Bills unleash Yeldon as a receiver.

There has been a lot of talk about how the Bills have been hiding some things and are waiting to unleash them on the Evil Empire.

 

I wonder if it is using Yeldon, big time, as a receiver. He can beat the Pats LB's one on one all day, but HE HAS TO NOT FUMBLE.

 

What do you think?

This is my fear.  his ability to hold onto the ball is atrocious.  Every time he touches the ball, I get worried.

They're going to have to get pass production out of their backs and TEs--NE's LBs aren't great in coverage, and that's really the only place that Buffalo has a noteable advantage. 

 

I should note that I include Slick McKenzie as part of this group. I would absolutely be lining him up in the backfield and getting him touches just to ensure that there's a wrinkle that NE has to adjust their game plan against

If this is the Bills secret weapon, I don't think we'll enjoy the outcome.  We have to hope this is a trap game, and that they're smelling themselves a little bit.  Unlikely yes, since it's a divisional game.  Lets just hope they forget to show up in the first half and can't make up the deficit because the D is on point.

Exactly. Guy fumbles once, but because it's during his first game with the Bills all of a sudden he's like Isaiah McKenzie returning punts? 

 

Well, the fact that he coughed one up in a similar situation in the preseason sticks in folks' minds.

 

He hadn't had many touches for this team, so 2 fumbles deep in opposing territory are definitely going to get people's attention.

McDermott constantly preaches taking care of the ball. He knows he can't fumble and expect to see the field. Can just bring back Marcus Murphy in 2 seconds

This is a Robert Foster, 4 receiver set game if I’ve ever seen one. Gilmore should probably be watching John brown a lot, of course they’ll be trying to take away Beasley too. Whoever the third is that steps up could have a huge game and make a real impact. Foster, maybe Knox, could be McKenzie in his gadget role. Someone needs to take hold of that third option and not let go

He has 6 career fumbles including the one last game. And about 600 career touches. 1/100 isn't even that bad

 

I hear ya, but for Bills fans we're thinking about the one in preseason and one last week, so it seems like much more of an issue.

And they are fumbles with no upside. If he was having an impact but committing the odd fumble people would be more willing to live with it I suspect.

Yeah - limited opportunities and it popped up.  Honestly he popped some in preseason but people only remember the fumble.  
 

You know who's leading the league in fumbles?  Josh Allen.

watching yeldon play makes me sad.

He's done after this year. No doubt we draft another guy to backup Devin. The only thing Yeldon brought to the table was his receiving ability.  And we've seen nothing so far. Murphy's still sitting by his couch waiting for that phone call?

What cracks me up is how many people wanna cut Yeldon in favor of Marcus Murphy when that dude had ball security issues as well.

I’m really hoping they unleash the long pass and Singletary on top of what they are already doing. That is what I would like to see.

 

Go Bills!!!

Even though you don’t want a reply ;) 

 

I think they have to be careful about how much they use him and not over stress his hammy.
