Best Pick: Sammy Watkins

It seems as though Sammy Watkins' value is depreciated a bit due to his injury, but recent news around it is positive. And, if we're being honest, a healthy Sammy Watkins is probably more of a second-round selection versus a third-round one.

Watkins saw a nice uptick in targets over the second half of last season and actually finished in the weekly top-15 at the wide receiver position four times from Weeks 12 through 16. He should see one of the highest team market shares in the league given competition, and if Tyrod Taylor can keep up his efficiency -- he was the 10th-most efficient passer last year according to our numbers -- Watkins could easily finish as a low-end WR1 this year.
