Robert Foster, WR, Buffalo Bills

Stats: seven receptions for 104 yards

The Buffalo Bills are not what anyone would consider an offensive juggernaut. They obviously have issues across the board including inconsistent play at the quarterback position. However, Josh Allen is showing signs of improving which has benefited some of the younger wide receivers on the roster.

Robert Foster is the latest to have a breakout game with Allen under center. Some of the success the Bills are able to find on offense comes thanks to Allen’s threat as a runner.

Buffalo has allowed Allen to play his game which includes using his legs to move the football. This has put pressure on the defense to account for this part of his game. In turn, it has made it more difficult for the defensive backs to solely focus on their man.

Foster hasn’t shown any special skills, but is someone who is going to get looks moving forwards. The biggest question is how many targets will he actually see.

Allen’s running and overall inconsistency as a passer makes it difficult to fully trust someone like Foster. However, Buffalo has shown a willingness to get younger players like Foster into the lineup. He’s someone who could help a fantasy team who needs depth at wide receiver.
