Better Late Season Stash WR? Watkins or Jeffery (1 Viewer)

[Charybdis]

I have room for one of these guys. Non PPR League. They would be my third WR. Our playoffs run week 15-17.

Jeffery. He has a decent schedule and he is healthy. With  Watkins you get the tougher schedule and you don't know if he will deliver anything. Haven't  heard anything positive out of Buffalo as of yet so i assume he is still not ready for action .

Also, should have mentioned, I would have to drop Duke Johnson (I own Crowell). So, which WR, or stick with Duke Johnson?

What circumstances would lead  you to needing to play Duke?  If he is bench fodder then go ahead and drop him for Jeffrey.  Like other's have said, he is healthy and will be back while you have no idea if Watkins will come back at all this year.

If you need Duke for a flex spot between now and week 15 then you probably need to keep him but if you have the playoffs wrapped up and these games don't matter it is an easy drop for Jeffrey.

The only reason I have Duke is for handcuff to Crowell. Not sure even if Crowell went down and Duke got all the work if that would be fantasy relevant in that offense though?

Agreed.  I would have no issue dropping Duke for Jeffrey.

Definitely not going to say that Watkins has no value here. I think he comes back strong as Tyrod is really looking sharp in the passing game and seems to have found the flow of things. Jefferey won't get you anything for the next 4 weeks due to his susp. While watkins could be back next week against Jax and at least has the chance to produce beyond that, while Jefferey can't. Even when Jefferey is back, I see Watkins putting up just as good of numbers if not better. Cutler is a mess and the Bills, contrary to a poster above, have a relatively good schedule ahead. I'm going to go Watkins all the way here.

See mine here if you could, thanks!  https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/topic/751331-mccoy-for-julio-leave-link-ill-get-yours/

PS, I own Jefferey.

I own both, I think Watkins gives me more hope of winning in the playoffs with a point explosion, Jeffery has been WR2/3 production all season, but maybe I am bitter for not playing him the week he got his only TD

I have Jeffery and I'm looking at Watkins on the waiver wire and thinking the same thing. For the time being, I'm holding with Jeffery. I'd like to see Watkins actually start practicing ... I've been burned by lingering foot injuries for WRs before. Jeffery's production wasn't that bad except for the lack of TDs (which I feel was rather fluky): on pace for 70+ receptions and 1000+ yards. I agree with the assessment that Jeffery is a safer WR2/3 (but still there's hope for WR1 ceiling) with Watkins very boom/bust.

Great question.  I think I would go with Alshon here.  If you are guaranteed to make the playoffs I think he is your best bet.  Alshon will be completely healthy and rested come your playoffs.  He is also in a contract year and will want to end strong.   Watkins has been perpetually injured and there is no guarantee that he is ready to go anytime soon, or if he does come back there is the chance he gets hurt again.  So I would go with Jefferey!
