Last week, Watkins was able to catch his first touchdown during the Bills’ loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his last two games, Buffalo’s talented receiver has seven catches for 92 yards and one touchdown on 15 targets.
Fantasy Impact: Watkins’ role in the offense is expected to grow even more this week and the pass catcher could be in for a big day against a weak Cleveland Browns defense.
This season, the Browns are giving up the ninth most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. During Cleveland’s last four games, the position group has caught a total of five touchdowns against the defense.
Yahoo! has Watkins projected to end Sunday with four catches for 60 yards and one touchdown. Not starting him in previous games would have seemed valid, but fantasy owners have no excuse this week to not to start the talented receiver against the winless Browns.
