Sammy Watkins Fantasy Analysis

• Watkins status in doubt
  The Chiefs will test WR Sammy Watkins (calf) before today's game against the Bills to determine whether he's ready to play.

It seems like Watkins is a true game-time decision, which will make him risky even if he turns up active. Watkins' absence would boost the outlooks for both Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson. They played 69% and 71% of the snaps in the win over the Browns, with Watkins out. Full Story
