Sammy Watkins Has Become a Smashing Value in Fantasy Football

Sammy Watkins looked to be one of the greatest receiving prospects of all time coming out of Clemson. He had the size, speed and production at a marquee school that led to a fourth overall selection to the Buffalo Bills in the 2014 NFL Draft.

But one thing he hasn’t had since entering the league is a clean bill of health.

After starting all 16 games in his rookie campaign, Watkins has missed 18 of the last 64 possible contests due to a litany of injuries. These bumps and bruises have hindered him from reaching his fantasy football potential, but all signs indicate that he is fully healthy entering his age-26 season, and he's tethered to the prolific Patrick Mahomes.
