InTomWeTrust Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 How does everyone feel about watkins in standard format? I picked him up in the fifth round Hes never been a guy on my radar and I would have rather have Demarius over him What do you guys think?

HowboutthemCowboys Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I play ppr, but Watkins is my #1 wr in a league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 He reminds me of Desean Jackson. A lot of big plays, but not a lot of catches. Boom or bust type of WR and very injury prone like a sports car. It could change, but I view him as a WR3 with WR2 upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Sammy Watkins has a lot of talent. When pressured, an immobile quarterback could throw the ball up for him to make a play on. Tyrod isn't immobile. He can run when pressured. I can't see Sammy Watkins ever getting 100 receptions while he has Tyrod as his quarterback. Mobile quarterbacks rarely produce stud fantasy receivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satelliteoflovegm Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Look at the stat line for the week 17 Bills Jets game. I think that is the model they want for 2016. Reading between the lines in radio interviews I think the goal is Watkins on bubble screens, slants, and deep stuff. The whole route tree. Patterns they ran less than frequent in 2015. 100 receptions? Well that's unlikely for most. But 75-80 and 1300 and 10. That should be in the realistic vein. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysDiehard Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I have him as my WR2 in PPR. Brown is my WR1. I took the plunge and drafted Watkins in two leagues this year. The second is a standard format league. With my luck, it's probably a bad sign for all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 5 drafts so far, no Watkins. I just see better value where he's being taken 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever in debt to mo lewis Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 yaaaaaa...i love watkins....i do...in another situation hed be a bonafied stud..... i think relative to his ADP he isnt a bad pick...because he COULD go off and be huge....its not highly unlikely...i just think its unlikely i dont wanna knock tyrod taylor...because he was pretty efficient last year....and i dont have a read on him....maybe he takes another step forward and becomes a legit starting qb.....but i dont really wanna hinge my stud wr to a 6 ft former 3rd string qb on a team that wants to run the heck out of the ball.....i mean....whats the ceiling for taylor for pass attempts? 450? not that you cant get some things done with that.....weve seen that from russell wilson.....weve seen baldwin make a difference... i have to say watkins is a guy that ive avoided in drafts....but fully admit that of any guys i kind of said "eh...no"....he has the best chance to explode and be big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 for some reason, I don't like the Buffalo offense. I don't have a single player on any of my 5 teams so far. Now that could change as I've got 5 more to go. I do agree that of anyone in that tier, Watkins has some really nice upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that of anyone in that tier, Watkins has some really nice upside. i think there are really only two draftable starters on that offense anyway...watkins and mccoy....i do own mccoy in one league ...got him in the 3rd round of a ppr league after going wr/wr.....i dont feel great...but i dont feel bad about it......i mean...they run the ball...he can catch.....i think hes a decent value....barring injury i know what im gonna get out of him....and at that point im looking for some sustainable weekly production that doesnt need to be big...im gonna get that from my receivers and te..... but i feel you....buffalo doesnt inspire confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImNotSoIgnorant Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I agree, I think he is overvalued. Same. I haven't drafted him in the 5 leagues I'm in and he never fell to what I consider a proper draft spot for him. 6th round maybe? In my WR rankings I have him at 17th of WRs.

InTomWeTrust Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 i got him in the 5th round, in a 10 team i see no reason why he cant be better than deandre hopkins if healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't drafted him in the 5 leagues I'm in and he never fell to what I consider a proper draft spot for him. 6th round maybe?

ImNotSoIgnorant Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 so you figure only 16 wrs will be taken before the 6th rd? Its not a question of who takes what, its my own personal ranking. If I go WR/WR i prefer going RB heavy so I wouldn't be looking for him. If I go RB/RB or WR/RB then I think there will be more valuable WRs to choose from. 6th was an estimate, thus the question mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medalofhonor Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 If he stays fit, he has a crazy upside. It's a risk worth taking. Buffalo is basically Tyrod, Shady and Watkins this season. It's very likely that all three will have good fantasy production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTomWeTrust Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Sometimes I wonder if you see with your eyes open K, tell me how that's not a fair statement Watkins stays healthy and he can outscore hopkins or be this years hopkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 K, tell me how that's not a fair statement Watkins stays healthy and he can outscore hopkins or be this years hopkins Any time you analyze a player, you always throw out some off the wall comparison to a completely unrelated player. Like last year you said Jimmy Graham was going to be twice as good as Gronk. So when you say Watkins is going to be better than Hopkins, are you saying that Watkins will have more than 111 receptions, 1,521 yards, and 11 touchdowns? Or are you saying that Hopkins numbers are going to fall drastically? No matter how good Watkins is, Tyrod Taylor is not a quarterback that can produce a receiver with numbers like that.

the outlaw Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 everybody struck out on graham last year Please correct yourself - in fact, I demand it because I did not strike out on Graham last year...I drafted him in exactly ZERO leagues and had exactly ZERO regrets for doing so...therefore, I call that a GRAND SLAM, instead!
