Top 50 Position Battles: Bills second receiver

# 36. Bills second receiver: Peerless Price vs. Roscoe Parrish vs. Josh Reed
The always-informative Buffalobills.com ran an article posing the question, “Who will pull attention off Lee Evans?”
While the article is optimistic that the second season in Steve Fairchild’s offense will make a big difference, the personnel around Evans is largely the same. Going into the offseason, I thought upgrading the receiver talent would be a priority. It didn’t happen.
Peerless Price (49 catches), Josh Reed (34 catches), and Roscoe Parrish (23 catches) didn’t make a fantasy impact last season. Reed and Price have shown what they can do over the last few years. Its not going to help your team. Parrish has big-play ability, but is likely too small to start. Buffalo hasn't shown any willingness to replace Price despite his microscopic 8.2 yards-per-catch average last season.
There just isn’t any reason to believe one of these players will emerge, and there aren’t any sleeper receivers in hiding on the Buffalo roster. Its could mean some rough afternoons for J.P. Losman and Evans.

Bills 3rd WR? I thought these guys were all battling for a starting spot. Regardless, they all stink.
