Scouting report

LA WR Sammy Watkins - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Sammy Watkins finished with 3 catches for 38 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in the Rams’ Week 13 win over the Cardinals. If you took a flier on Watkins with Robert Woods out, the touchdown saved your fantasy day. That said, he was quiet for most of the game while facing off with Patrick Peterson. With Woods expected to miss one more game, Watkins does have some appeal as a high-upside play this Sunday versus the Eagles. Ranked as our No. 31 WR, we would recommend avoiding Watkins if at all possible. Philly has a nasty pass rush and could put the clamps on Jared Goff and the Rams passing game.

LA WR Sammy Watkins - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Arizona Cardinals

Sammy Watkins caught 4-of-9 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' Week 12 win over the Saints. The targets were a season-high for Watkins, who took advantage of his opportunities with Robert Woods out. The Rams also went pass-heavy against a Saints defense missing a couple of corners.

Unfortunately, Watkins will have to deal with Patrick Peterson when the Rams visit the Cardinals on Sunday. So even with Woods out, Watkins is not a good fantasy option this weekend. He ranks as our No. 41 WR for Week 13.

LA WR Sammy Watkins - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. New Orleans Saints

Sammy Watkins caught 3 of his 4 targets for 34 yards in the Rams' Week 11 loss to the Vikings. After scoring touchdowns in Week 9 and Week 10, Watkins resorted back to the receiver he was before the two-game scoring burst. Still, with Robert Woods out with a shoulder injury, the Rams may be forced to lean on Watkins more in the passing game. Ranked as our No. 31 WR for Week 12, he makes for an intriguing boom-or-bust fantasy play on Sunday when L.A. hosts New Orleans.

LA WR Sammy Watkins - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Minnesota Vikings

Sammy Watkins caught 2-of-3 passes for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' Week 10 win over the Texans. He now has touchdowns in back-to-back games but didn't catch his first pass on Sunday until there were under two minutes left in the third quarter. The scores in back-to-back weeks are nice, but Watkins will be touchdown-dependent every week.

Ranked as our No. 41 WR for Week 11, we recommend avoiding Watkins when the Rams travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings. There are safer options available.

LAR WR Sammy Watkins - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Houston Texans

Sammy Watkins caught 1-of-2 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' Week 9 rout over the Giants. All 67 yards came on one touchdown in the second half when Watkins blew past a New York defense that failed to show up last week. That's kind of Watkins' season in a nutshell. The talent is there but Sean McVay's offense runs through Todd Gurley and there are other options (Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp) in the passing game besides Watkins. Ranked as our No. 36 WR for Week 10, Watkins remains a boom-or-bust play for Sunday's tilt against the Texans (who rank as fantasy's No. 30 defense against receivers).

LA WR Sammy Watkins - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at New York Giants

Sammy Watkins caught 3-of-5 targets for 42 yards in the Rams' Week 7 win over the Cardinals. The stat line was Watkins' best since going off for 6-106-2 against the 49ers in Week 3. Jared Goff even targeted Watkins in the end zone on one pass attempt, but overthrew his receiver. The production just isn't there for Watkins, who has been a trade acquisition bust for the Rams. Ranked as our No. 42 WR for Week 9, avoid Watkins when the Rams visit the Giants on Sunday.

LA WR Sammy Watkins - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Cardinals (game in London)

Sammy Watkins caught 1-of-4 targets for 11 yards in the Rams’ Week 6 win over the Jaguars. Welcome to the bottom of the fantasy barrel. Watkins has 2 catches for 28 yards over his past three games. Since his 28-point effort in Week 3 against the 49ers, Watkins has scored 2.7, 0.0, and 2.1 points per game in PPR formats. Considering he’ll see plenty of Patrick Peterson in London on Sunday when the Rams take on the Cardinals, you can avoid Watkins again in Week 7.
