Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins will make his return from a foot injury Week 12 after being sidelined for more than two months. Having been activated from injured reserve earlier in the week, conditioning is a concern for Watkins and will likely result in him being on a pitch count against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. To help ease Watkins back into the fold, the Bills will limit him to about 50-60 percent of the snaps to allow for a smoother return.

Fantasy Projections: With Watkins returning from injured reserve, fantasy owners are pleased to see a star wide receiver back on the field. But they will be keeping a close eye on the Week 12 game between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars to see how far along Watkins really is. Likely being limited this week, Watkins is an unknown and risky play at WR2 or Flex this week, but his projections will surely increase as he gets reinserted into the offense.
