The Facts: Woods is expected to take over the slot receiver duties in the Bills' offensive scheme in the wake of the Stevie Johnson trade according to Chris Brown of buffalobills.com.
Diehards Line:
According to Brown, Buffalo acquired Mike Williams by trade, a true outside receiving threat with proven touchdown production. They traded up to get the best receiver in the draft in Sammy Watkins, another true outside threat. Williams will draw attention from Watkins. Perhaps even more important, Woods is a receiver this coaching staff believes in a lot. There was more than one assistant who believed by the end of last season that he would be the best receiver on the roster. That dynamic changed with Williams and Watkins added to the roster. In order to help Woods flourish in the current corps of receivers Johnson had to be moved from the slot receiver role so Woods could fill it. Brown went on to advise readers it's believed that Woods can be an even more productive receiver in the slot. Right now he has the most chemistry with EJ Manuel as OTAs are set to begin. What’s more his precise route running provides more consistency for a quarterback looking to take the next step in his on field performance than the unconventional route running of Johnson. It does sound like a formidable receiving crew. It's one that could provide considerable fantasy football value -- Manuel willing.
