Sammy Watkins Expected To Miss Time
4 years agoKansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is expected to miss "possibly a couple weeks" with a hamstring injury that doctors are still evaluating, according to a source. Watkins caught both of his targets for 24 yards and his second touchdown of the year before leaving in Week 5, so at least he offered his fantasy managers something on Sunday. The 27-year-old wideout has been an upside WR3 in KC's explosive offense in 2020, seeing a healthy 29 targets for 21 catches, 222 yards and two touchdowns through five games. Watkins could've had a much bigger game against the Raiders if he hadn't been injured, too. Mecole Hardman will now become a popular waiver pickup this week and offers intriguing upside for fantasy lineups. Demarcus Robinson should also see a playing-time increase in three-receiver sets.
