Sammy Watkins

After seemingly losing some of his role in the offense, Watkins popped back up on the radar in Week 14 with eight targets. He managed to snag four balls for 50 yards, which is not too bad when you consider the matchup against the Patriots. The Broncos game was one he missed earlier in the year, so we don't know how they'll handle Watkins/Hill with Chris Harris Jr. but it would make sense if he played sides with how often these guys move around. Watkins is running nearly half his routes in the slot, which means he'll see the most of Will Parks, the safety who's covering the slot for the Broncos. He's not someone to avoid, either, as he's allowed 18-of-25 passing for 222 yards and three touchdowns in his coverage. Watkins is what he is at this point, which is a wide receiver who's seeing decent volume from Mahomes but underachieving. There are not many WR4s who present his type of upside and get as many targets, though many of his owners are wondering where exactly that upside is hiding.
