Fast Connections, Week 2: Watkins filling Hill’s shoes | NFL.com
Next Gen Stats says ...
Playing with Mahomes helps any receiver, but Watkins gives his quarterback plenty of opportunities for efficient completions. The sixth-year wideout got open (3 or more yards of separation from the nearest defender) on 36.4 percent of his targets and wide open (5 or more yards) on 18.2 percent. Even deep down the field, those big passing windows constitute layups for a starting quarterback in the NFL. Mahomes certainly recognized the opportunity, targeting Watkins on 34.
