Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins participated in individual drills during Thursday's practice, according to WKBW's Joe Buscaglia.
Sammy Watkins limited at Thursday practice, presents big fantasy upside if active
The Bills welcomed back a key cog to the offense in Thursday’s practice. We break down the fantasy implications.
Watkins will be listed as limited on the practice report, but it's a positive step for a player who did not participate in the team's last four practices and sat out Week 4's contest in wake of suffering a calf injury in the game prior. It's unclear whether Watkins will suit up vs. the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, but his presence was sorely missed during the Bills' 24-10 loss to the New York Giants.
Fantasy impact: Watkins’ fantasy owners would love to get him rolling on Sunday against a susceptible Titans defense. Getting back into action at any capacity on Thursday is always an encouraging sign after having a considerable absence preceding it.
If Watkins is close to a full-go for Sunday, expect Tyrod Taylor to look for him often. With LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams very questionable to suit up, the Bills may deploy an air-heavy attack. Watkins would be a WR3 with upside for Week 5.
