Fantasy Football: 7 Players to Avoid in Week 6
Sammy Watkins, WR, Buffalo Bills
What’s to like about Sammy Watkins this week? He's coming off a two-game absence because of a calf injury, and returns just in time for starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor to potentially miss this game with a sprained MCL. Watkins has asked to get the ball more, but those targets may not mean much coming from E.J. Manuel.
Cincinnati ranks 18th in the NFL in Defensive Adjusted Pass NEP per play at 0.15, so it's a beatable defense. If Manuel decides to shower Watkins with 10-plus targets, it's possible Watkins could be a difference-maker. But we project him for just 4.07 catches, 61.07 yards, and 0.31 touchdowns.
