Sammy Watkins Carries Contrarian DFS Appeal Sunday
4 years agoKansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins faces a daunting matchup Sunday against a stout Saints secondary. With that in mind, his low DFS price tag gives him some terrific upside, which exists perpetually with Patrick Mahomes under center. While Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce will likely continue to see a favorable number of targets (and a sizable roster percentage), Watkins has hauled in multiple receptions in each of his last six games, having played at least 70 percent of the team's offensive snaps in five of those outings. With a potential offensive shootout brewing despite the strengths of both team's secondaries, Watkins can be viewed as a contrarian play that may be a tad too risky to start during season-long playoff matchups.
