Quez Watkins - Week 1 Outlook for Fantasy Football
2 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins will start in the slot Sunday on the road against the Detroit Lions. While teammate Zach Pascal occupied this role in Indianapolis last season, Watkins won the starting job during training camp. The matchup for the third-year receiver is a good one. Detroit allowed 22.7 fantasy points per game to the position and gave up 13.1 yards per reception in 2021. The issue for Watkins is going to be target share. With A.J. Brown added to the rotation, Watkins is likely the fourth target for quarterback Jalen Hurts. Philadelphia was one of the most run-heavy offenses last season, meaning Watkins could struggle to get enough targets to be fantasy relevant. This week, he is off the radar in redraft leagues but could be a low-money option in DFS lineups.
