Or maybe if you actually watched his healthy snaps you'd see that he's already elite at a few things and is just one healthy stretch and some targets away from being untouchable in dynasty again. He was a beast last year in a horrible situation, he's just had problems with injuries.Sabertooth said:
So, there is a chance he will be the next Andre - tons of talent and as many injury concerns as TDs
I guess, which would also mean a long stretch of near HOF-level production (minus the TD's). But I think when this thread was started a lot of that comparison had to do with skill-set, which was and is still a really poor projection.
I was just joking... sprta.
But, as I said above, you also have to factor in the fact that they raced out to large early leads in 2 out of their first 3 games. That's not going to happen again in most of their regular season games. In addition, Taylor is much better than anticipated and they are already starting to open up the offense more than at the start of the season. The passing opportunities and targets for Watkins are trending up once he's back.50/50 would still make them a bottom 5 passing team... even if you chose to count those running plays as passing plays.Factoring in Taylor's 17 rushes (scrambles), the pass calls are about 50/50... which is pretty significant considering they had big, early leads in 2 of their first 3 games.97 rush 78 pass.Um, of course it has been true so far.So far this hasn't been true.
The offense is incredibly run heavy. Have to see about the injury, but I can't imagine starting him with any confidence until he has a fairly big game AND stays healthy, which could take a while.
as a watkins owner, i think he's a great buy in dyno leagues right now. i still have faith in his talent, but i know as a watkins owner his price is pretty low right now and i'd consider some pretty low-ball offers right now.But, as I said above, you also have to factor in the fact that they raced out to large early leads in 2 out of their first 3 games.

Strained calf muscle. What a #####.
Well, I mean, there's a reason EJ's the backup and Taylor is the starter. There should be a noticeable dropoff in QB play.
So Watkins just happened to tell the whole world, including his next opponent, that he plans to be a decoy? What am I missing here?
He also said something about not being worried about it and if it pop, it pops. Not quite what I want to hear.
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"Alex P Keaton said:
Coincidentally this is the 2nd reference to The Princess Bride Ive had today, the other being via text.
Good for Sammy!!! I hope they tell him to shut up and fall in place so that he gets the HELL out of Buffalo and on a team where he won't rot away. Trade him!!! Move him!!! Or feed the monster!!!! It's about time. The squeaky wheel gets the oil!
I think the OC would get fired if he called plays to target a player sitting on the bench due to injury.
If EJ Manuel starts this week he might get 10 targets standing on the sideline in street clothes.
In the game in which he got the two targets, Sammy only played for less than one quarter.
The source is likely Watkins' agent who is trying to get his client more targets or the hell out of Buffalo. Putting it in the media could possibly lead to trade offers from other teams or put fan pressure on the coaching staff to get his client the more targets he wants.
Not at all, but this line in the article makes me raise an eyebrow.
It sounds like Watkins was surrounded by media after the game that eventually "clears out" leaving just Tyler Dunne hanging out. Would we be surprised if it turned into a conversation that Watkins didn't think was an interview? Maybe. I don't know. Just trying to imagine why Watkins would say these things. It makes more sense if he was under the impression that it wasn't going to get printed. Dunne has to realize he'll never get Watkins to talk again. If that's not burning a bridge, what is? Has Watkins doubled down on this? If he has, I haven't seen it.
