Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins is on the injury report again this week, but he got a full practice on Wednesday. He's listed with a groin injury but is fully expected to be ready for Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
Sammy Watkins getting full practice, groin injury not a fantasy concern

Watkins has been dealing with various nicks throughout the year, including a rib injury he suffered in preseason, but he has yet to miss a game. The first-round rookie had his big breakout game against the Minnesota in Week 7, catching nine passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner as time expired.
Fantasy impact: Watkins has taken off with Kyle Orton under center, recording 18 catches for 236 yards and two touchdowns in the past three games. His lone dud came in Week 6 when he was shut down by Darrelle Revis, but Watkins is starting to unlock his potential as the season goes on. He has WR2 upside against the Jets' leaky secondary and can be safely started in all fantasy leagues.
