Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins is dealing with a hip injury he suffered in Week 13. The severity of the injury is unknown, but the Bills are in "wait-and-see" mode, suggesting that his status is uncertain for Buffalo's Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos next Sunday.

Watkins played every snap in the Bills' win over the Cleveland Browns, catching three passes for 11 yards. It's unknown when he suffered the injury. Watkins has had a fine rookie season with a 51-695-5 stat line through 12 games, but he has been banged up with multiple minor injuries.
Fantasy impact: We will know more about Watkins' status when the Bills return to practice Wednesday. He's had a hot midseason stretch but struggled in recent weeks with Kyle Orton regressing. At this point, Watkins is more of a dynasty hold than someone who can be trusted in the 2014 fantasy playoffs. Even if he starts next week, he'll be a risky WR3 play against the Broncos defense.
