Sammy Watkins

Sammy Watkins was not targeted in the Chiefs' 17-7 preseason loss to the Steelers Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Watkins enters the season as the clear third option in the passing game behind Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill. He is a solid WR3 with WR2 upside for fantasy.

Sammy Watkins brought in his only target for seven yards in the Chiefs' 38-17 preseason win over the Bengals Saturday night.

Fantasy Impact

Watkins converted on his only target against the Bengals Saturday. He enters the season as a bargain WR2/3 option in drafts.

Sammy Watkins totaled 114 yards on four receptions as the Chiefs fell to the Patriots 37-31 in the AFC Championship on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

It's a season high in receiving yards for the 25-year-old. Watkins once again dealt with injuries this past season, but he was productive when on the field. His injury history could depress his value and help make him a solid target in 2019 fantasy drafts. There's plenty of upside for anyone playing in this Kansas City offense.

Sammy Watkins hauled in six receptions for 62 yards as the Chiefs beat the Colts 31-13 in the divisional round.

Fantasy Impact

Watkins lost a fumble in this one, but the good news is he looked close to full health. The highlight was a crossing route where Watkins stutter stepped to create even more yardage downfield. The Chiefs offense just became even harder to defend with a healthy Watkins back in the mix.

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (foot) is expected to play against Indianapolis.

Fantasy Impact

Watkins hasn't played since Week 11 but is trending toward an active designation for the Divisional Weekend Saturday matinee against the Colts. However, despite his anticipated return, the expectation is for the oft-injured wideout to be on a snap count, which hinders his already lackluster fantasy value. He'll get a Colts defense that finished the regular season surrendering 46.6 percent fewer fantasy points to wide receivers below the 20.7-point league average in the final three games.
