So 5 targets on like 60 snaps?

Like I said, he just isn't targeted all that much

 

🙄

C'mon, Man, that's lame.

 

If you want to know how much the guy is targeted, at least look at the passing attempts.

There were 31 attempts

8 went to RBs (checkdown or screen)

So of 23 pass attempts to receivers (WR or TE), Davis was targetted for 5 or 21%

That happens to be #2 for targets on the team

Diggs got the lion's share with 9

 

Basically Davis got the most targets of any receiver Josh Allen doesn't gift a giant Rolex engraved "SLIME"

Blocking as a WR is very low on my list of things that will influence a game.

 

Then you're not paying attention, because if Davis didn't "sell" his crack block so nicely, he wouldn't have been wide open for our first TD

 

The Bills think it's important

If Davis is questionable, wonder if that means one of the RB's will sit out as may want an extra slot at WR.  Only have two active plus Jones??  Or no Gilliam, but he's a big part of ST.

 

Or do they bite the bullet, since Settle was also questionable, just sit him (and Oliver) and have one ones D lineman than normal and may up the spot that way.  Normally don't like to swap out offense for defense slots, but may happen since down a couple there anyway.

I'd rather sit any player that is iffy. It's week 2. No need to extend someone that is hurting. They have the depth to win this game.

If they play him, he's not iffy.  This staff is very conservative when it comes to injuries.  They will not risk the long term health of a player for one game.

Not necessarily true. 

 

They played Milano when he had a torn pec to the extent he couldn't lift his arm and tackle properly.

They played Beasley with a broken leg and broken ribs

Played Diggs with a torn oblique

 

Playing with injuries has been part of football for a long time, there's always a judgement call "will this guy with his injury contribute more on the field than the Next Man Up?"  But even the best teams are more focused on that than they are on long-term health of the player.  The players also usually really really want to see the field.  It's hard to keep them off, if there's any kind of a judgement call.
