Sammy Watkins arrives in London with boot, crutches

Oct 19, 2015

Bills wideout Sammy Watkins wanted the ball on Sunday, but unfortunately he incurred one of the unintended consequences of a consistently targeted receiver.

Watkins sustained an ankle injury against the Bengals and arrived in London with a walking boot on his left foot, per Sky Sports' live feed of the Bills' arrival. He was also wearing crutches.

This undoubtedly puts Sunday's game against the Jaguars in question seeing as the Bills won't want to take any risks with their unhappy playmaker. Watkins was targeted five times -- his second-highest total of the year -- and caught four balls for 48 yards and a touchdown against the Bengals.

Fantasy Impact:

Watkins was on pace for his best game of the season considering his ankle injury happened in the second quarter after his touchdown catch. He dropped to the turf twice before walking off under his own power. It was clear he was limping, favoring his right foot in a way that leads us to believe his trip to London will be mainly for sightseeing.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
