Buffalo Bills WR Robert Foster

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis has been the biggest fantasy football and real-life breakout star at the position over the past several weeks, but Buffalo Bills young gun Robert Foster is a close second. An impressive deep threat whose career at Alabama was marred by injuries, Foster looks like a true building block for the Bills offense, quickly building a scary rapport with first-round signal-caller Josh Allen.

Foster added another big game to his resume in Week 15, going for 108 receiving yards and a touchdown on just four receptions against the Detroit Lions. This was his second straight 100-yard game, as he bossed the New York Jets secondary with seven catches for 104 yards in Week 14.

In his past five contests, Foster has caught at least 90 receiving yards in four of them, making him a must-add in fantasy leagues. His speed and talent are legit, as is his production. The Bills offense basically runs through big plays from Allen and Foster, and the latter could be the team’s biggest hope of an upset against the New England Patriots in Week 16. It isn’t an easy matchup for Foster, but all he needs is a big play or two to give fantasy owners their money’s worth.
