2020 Outlook
Depth Chart
Just about everyone has been burned by Sammy Watkins for fantasy purposes and that has actually suppressed his fantasy cost enough that he might just be a value in drafts. Watkins showed that he still has some upside in 2019 when he absolutely destroyed the Jaguars for nine catches, 198 yards and three touchdowns in Week 1 after Tyreek Hill went out with a shoulder injury. Watkins was the WR1 in fantasy that week and the price to acquire him skyrocketed with Hill set to miss a few weeks with the injury. Those who opted to trade Watkins, however, made out like bandits as the veteran would fail to score another touchdown or reach even 70 receiving yards for the entire remainder of the regular season.

While it didn't help fantasy owners, there is some hope heading into 2020 that Watkins may still have some value in this potent Kansas City offense. His three game stretch in the playoffs was actually quite impressive as he caught 14 passes for 288 yards and a touchdown while adding a 14 yard rush on the ground that put him over a 100 total yard per game average. It's a small sample size and it doesn't mean that he's going to be successful in 2020 but Watkins does have a role in this offense. He led all Chiefs wide receivers in snaps played in 2019 and is the team's most well-rounded complement to Hill when it comes to two-WR sets.

He'll likely be frustrating to own, but the upside remains for Watkins to return to fantasy relevance here in 2020.

News From The Past 90 Days
Injury Tyreek Hill leaves practice with hamstring injury
Walked off on his own
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Aug 20, 12:15 pm

Kansas City Chiefs
Tyreek Hill left Chiefs practice about midway through today with apparent leg injury. Walked off on his own. He had just caught a long touchdown pass in a 1 on 1 drill when he pulled up. Sammy Watkins hasn't practiced in several days because of a groin injury. It's a hamstring for Tyreek Hill. DE Alex Okafor has a calf injury (Adam Teicher on Twitter)

FFToday's Take: We don't know the severity of the injury but we should know more in the coming days. Hill is currently one of the top fantasy receivers off the board, typically early in round 2 of redraft PPR leagues.
