Sammy Watkins is a 'special talent'

In an interview on Fox Sports 1280's 'The John DiTullio Show' on Tuesday, August 4, Tyler Dunne of the Buffalo News stated that the Bills have a 'special talent' in WR Sammy Watkins. Dunne stated that while Watkins admitted some tentativeness in previous off-season workouts, pulling himself out after two or three consecutive plays due to soreness in his surgically repaired hip, he looked sharp in running deep routes and double moves while working through six straight plays in Monday's evening practice. Dunne noted that one such double move, which saw Watkins working against the Bills' top corner, Stephon Gilmore, made Gilmore 'look like an undrafted free agent.' (Buffalo News)
Fantasy Impact:
Watkins talent is undeniable. Unfortunately, it's the lack of talent at the QB position in Buffalo that will most likely prevent us from seeing how special he can be. Despite the fact that his skillset teases much higher upside under better circumstances, barring a near miraculous demonstration of competency from any of the underwhelming options under center for the Bills, it's hard to value Watkins as anything more than a WR3 in all but the deepest of leagues.
