Buffalo Bills starting wide receiver Sammy Watkins is officially listed as probable for Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. Watkins was a full participant in practice every day this week.
Sammy Watkins injury update: Bills WR will start for fantasy owners
Buffalo’s No. 1 wide receiver hasn’t been limited by his hamstring injury. We break down the fantasy implications.

Watkins was previously listed with “day-to-day soreness” in his glute, but the Bills injury report marks him with a hamstring injury. Either way, there won’t be anything holding him back to start the 2015 season.
Fantasy impact: Watkins underwent hip surgery in the offseason, and when you pair that with concerns over his starting quarterback, it’s easy to see why some owners were down on him for 2015. Watkins dominated his competition in camp, though, and he’ll be ready to make a step forward in his sophomore season.
The bad news for the Bills No. 1 wide receiver: he faces Vontae Davis to start the year. Davis locked down his opponents last season, never allowing a touchdown in coverage. Watkins doesn't have the best upside for Week 1.
