Watkins sat most of the second half of Week 3's contest due to a calf injury, and was subsequently held out of Week 4's loss to the New York Giants. It's not unheard of for a player with an injury to sit out a practice session this early in the week, whether the injury is major or minor. It remains unclear if Watkins will suit up on Sunday when the Bills take on the Tennessee Titans.
Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners have a nice matchup at hand coming up, so they will once again have to closely monitor Watkins’ status. Watkins did not practice at all in preparation for Week 4, and there’s no guarantee that he will suit up if he manages to get back into practice sessions.
If Watkins is able to go at close to full capacity, he can be in the WR3 discussion against a vulnerable Titans secondary. But for now, Bills injury reports need to be included in the daily reading for every Watkins owner.
