BUF WR Sammy Watkins - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at New York Jets
Sammy Watkins gave his owners a gift last week with seven receptions for 154 yards and a touchdown. His 10 targets were a season-high, and as we have mentioned before, he is capable of games like this.

Watkins will not have Tyrod Taylor at QB this week, and instead, it will be E.J. Manuel under center. The Jets are next up and they rank 16th in aFPA to wide receivers. There is no matchup advantage either way, but the quarterback situation concerns us. Start Watkins, but only as a solid WR2 for Week 17.

BUF WR Sammy Watkins - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs Miami
Sammy Watkins has not been very strong since his return. He only caught one pass last week and was only targeted four times. The Buffalo passing game has not been great, so Watkins inability to put up numbers could be a result of that factor, because we know Watkins can put WR1 numbers.

He did not play in Week 7 against the Fins, but he did have a monster game against them back in 2015 with eight catches for 168 yards and a touchdown. Miami is ranked 28th in aFPA to wide receivers, so it is a good matchup for Watkins. But because of the limited success in the Buffalo passing game, he only rates a WR3 or flex for Week 16.

BUF WR Sammy Watkins - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs Cleveland
Sammy Watkins scored his first touchdown of the season and caught four passes for 54 yards last week. He was on the field for 94 percent of the snaps, which was his highest since he returned three weeks ago. Watkins was only targeted six times, which is a low number considering the Bills other options in the passing game

Watkins has a decent matchup this week against the Browns, who are 20th in aFPA to wide receivers. He should see more touches and more production on Sunday. His foot is still not 100 percent, but he is expected to play. Start him as a solid WR2 for Week 15.

BUF WR Sammy Watkins - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs Pittsburgh
The good news for Sammy Watkins owners is that he was targeted nine times last Sunday. The bad news is that he only produced three receptions for 38 yards and zero touchdowns. It's good that Watkins is becoming more involved with the Buffalo offense. Now, he just has to produce.

It won't be easy this week as Pittsburgh is ranked eighth in aFPA to wide receivers. But we are encouraged by the amount of touches, and the production should follow for a talent like Watkins. Start him for Week 14 as a high-end WR3 or flex. He will be a fantasy factor down the stretch.

BUF WR Sammy Watkins - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Oakland
Sammy Watkins made a surprise return last week and caught three passes on three targets for 80 yards. His foot is still not 100 percent, but Coach Rex Ryan said he is fine after practicing on Thursday. Watkins' return is a relief for the Bills, who have been hit hard by injuries at the wide receiver position. It also helps that Watkins is their best overall receiver and second-best offensive weapon after Shady McCoy.

The Bills face the Raiders, who are ninth in aFPA to wide receivers this season. Watkins should see more targets, but the Bills overall offense is still a big question mark, especially on the road.

Start Watkins for Week 13 as a flex or WR3.

BUF WR Sammy Watkins - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs New York Jets
Just like in 2015, Sammy Watkins is off to a slow start. In the opener, he caught four passes for 43 yards. Yes, we know Watkins can be streaky, but the second half of last season seemed to be an awakening. So, maybe the entire Bills offense was the problem in Week 1?

The biggest concern for Watkins owners is his health. Early in the week, there were reports surfacing that Watkins could be out for a prolonged amount of time with his lingering foot injury, but he confirmed he will play on Thursday and coach Rex Ryan didn't disagree.

However, Watkins only rates as a WR3 for Thursday night due to his injury and the matchup. He definitely should be in your lineup in some capacity, but don't expect a big night from him.

BUF WR Sammy Watkins - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Baltimore
Sammy Watkins could become the next big-time wide receiver in the NFL if he can get a little more consistency. He was great for the second half of the season after he missed three games in the first half with injury. His big-game potential could elevate him to WR1 status.

He'll face a Ravens secondary this week that wasn't very good last year and didn't do much to improve in the offseason. Watkins is officially questionable for the game, but he did skip the last preseason game and coach Rex Ryan claims he will be ready to go Sunday. Remember, Watkins did have offseason foot surgery, so that is something to keep an eye on -- especially early in 2016.

Watkins has a favorable matchup for Week 1, which elevates him to a low-end WR1. As long as he is healthy, he should be dangerous in every game. Start him in all leagues in formats against Baltimore.
