BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 44% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It seemed like we would never see Watkins back on a field, but he finally arrived this past Sunday, and considering we're not in Week 1 anymore, Watkins had a reasonably good ease-in/comeback game. Sure, he only scored 7.8 PPR points, but in a game that was pretty much decided in the first quarter, it is not that he was going to have plenty of opportunities to go for a booming tally.
Tyreek Hill is the no. 1 WR of the Chiefs offense, and he had a monster game (or quarter, better said) yesterday playing Tampa. It was all about the leftover crumbs for the rest of Kansas City's attack, and Watkins finished the game with 4 receptions on 7 targets for 38 receiving yards. Prior to getting injured, Watkins had three games of 10+ PPR points and two more below that mark.
We all know the Chiefs offense by now. Other than Hill and TE Travis Kelce, the door is open for absolutely anyone to step up and finish with a monster score. The problem is that it is usually pretty hard to make sound predictions about who will be the one graced with that fantasy gold. Watkins, though, looked like the WR2 of the team in his comeback game, which bodes well for him and his GMs during the last third of the season.
The Chiefs don't have any top-10 defense against fantasy WRs in their remaining schedule, and they have a booming matchup in W16 against the 2nd-worst defense in the league in the Falcons. There is still ample time to reach that point, but if you can afford to stash Watkins (he should be good to play as a weekly FLEX, though), definitely do so until we get to Championship Sunday.
