The Buffalo Bills are calling Sammy Watkins questionable to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. However, head coach Rex Ryan said Watkins will be “ready to roll” on Sunday, according to ESPN reporter Mike Rodak.

Expect Sammy Watkins to be active in Week 14, but the matchup makes him a risky play with the fantasy playoffs here.

Buffalo is still carefully managing Watkins’ surgically repaired foot, which landed him on I.R. before he returned in Week 12. He has started in each of the last two games and caught six passes on 12 targets for 118 yards and no scores.
Watkins has been limited in practice since returning, which is why he is questionable yet again, even though he is all but a lock to play.
Fantasy Impact: If Watkins is active, Yahoo! ranks him as the 29th-best wide receiver in Week 13. He would face a Steelers defense allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season.
Even if Watkins is active, keep him on the bench this week. This is just too risky of a matchup for him to be starting this week during the fantasy playoffs.
