Sammy Watkins scores twice for the Rams before leaving with injury
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Sammy Watkins recorded 6 catches for 106 yards and 2 touchdowns before exiting in the fourth quarter with a head injury on Thursday.
What It Means:
Watkins got off to a slow start as he brought in just 2 catches for 30 yards in the first half. The former Buffalo Bills wideout scored a one-yard touchdown in the third and followed it up with a 13-yard catch and score in the fourth quarter before leaving with a suspected concussion. Fortunately for Watkins, the Rams now have 10 days before they play again, allowing the receiver to clear the NFL's concussion protocol.
numberFire's algorithms projected Watkins for just 9.2 FanDuel points on Thursday, but the receiver came up big with 25.6 points against the San Francisco Rams.
