One of the things that we’ll be doing at BillsWire throughout the 2016 NFL season is looking at the roster of the week’s opposition and assessing which player would be most useful for the Buffalo Bills. This week the Bills take on the New York Jets on Thursday night at 8:25 p.m. ET.

In 2015, Buffalo struggled converting red-zone chances into touchdowns, ranking No. 24 overall in the NFL. The Bills also lack size at the wide receiver position as no receiver stands over 6-foot-2.

Enter New York wide receiver Brandon Marshall.

Marshall is an imposing presence, standing 6-foot-4, 230-pounds, making him a big target for quarterbacks in the red zone, where he can use his size to box out defenders and high-point the football. In 2015, Marshall recorded 109 receptions for 1,502 yards and 14 touchdowns on 173 targets.

He would bring the size that Buffalo’s wide receiver group lacks, and he’s played a big role in the Jets’ success in the red zone.

Last season, New York ranked No. 3 in red zone touchdown conversion rate at 66-percent. Marshall was targeted on 30.5 percent of his team’s red zone passing plays and caught 14 passes on 25 targets for a 56-percent reception rate.

As for Buffalo’s No. 1 wide receiver, Sammy Watkins was only targeted on 25 percent of red zone passing plays. He did have a slightly higher conversion rate of 57.1 percent, but he had just four red zone receptions in 2015.

Marshall is not strictly a red zone target either. He had seven receptions of over 40 yards in 2015 alone, including two 69-yard receptions versus the Tennessee Titans.

If the Bills could line up Brandon Marshall opposite Sammy Watkins, the offense would most likely be among the NFL’s top offenses provided the offensive line held up.
