Sammy Watkins
WR - KC
2018 Outlook
Expert Note
View More NotesIt wouldn't shock me to see Watkins finish as the best Chiefs wide receiver, as I believe he's the most talented one. The issue is that he's learning his third offense in three years, which can cripple a wide receiver in year-one. Because of that, Tyreek Hill is the preferred option in 2018. Still, the Chiefs didn't pay Watkins $50 million to see 60-80 targets, so I'd expect him to be a WR3 more often than not. With Pat Mahomes under center and a bad defense, the recipe is there for increased pass attempts. Knowing each of their costs, Watkins is the better fantasy pick.

Fantasy Impact
Watkins played following missing a pair of practices with a sore hip but was not targeted Thursday versus Houston. He remains a value pick with huge upside this season.
