Stop calling Sammy Watkins a stud

[heyfeefellskee]

Should I also go back and buy Tyler Eifert with a 1st round pick as you advocated?

Who's telling you to buy Eifert with a 1st round pick?

Short memory huh?
Good old times on reddit.

you must not have a whole lot going on for you if you're taking victory laps on random posts from 1-2 years ago

Watkins has the build and is the X reciever and hill will be the z reciever and both will have a successful season. Very plausible. Similar to DT/Sanders production in their prime. Will be the same for the Texans with nuk and fuller. Both will have a good season if everyone stays healthy.

Watkins clocks in as the next-highest skill position player with 91% of snaps. Hill and Hunt each had 71%.

do we have snap counts for week two yet?

Well, I do...

Not sure I saw if you posted the answer...in week two it flip flopped. Tyreek with 88% of offensive snaps outsnapped Sammy with 81% of offensive snaps. Kelce is the one that seems to be the only one really staying on the field on all downs at this point.

Two straight solid outings for Sammy. I think he's a WR2 this year.

Watkins with 89% to Hill's 91% this week.

Also had 8 targets to Hill's 5.

His current pace is 112 targets - his career Y/R is approximately 15 ypr (its a little over but I'm being conservative) and his catch rate is approx 56%.

Assuming 16 games at a 112 target pace - that suggests 63 for 945.
His actual production this year is 14 for 176 which is 75 for 940.

The difference is because he has an increased catch percentage of 70% (14 of 20 targets) but a lower Y/R of 12.6

Either way it is feasible off of that to speculate he and T. Hill could end up being the Marvin Jones / Golden Tate duo of this year - both low end WR1 high end WR2 - depending on how things play out of course.

Sure but the Chiefs let off the gas in the 2nd half so both are likely to see more usage in tighter games.

I am so stoked about Sammy Watkins this year. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if his targets and receptions were superior to Hill’s at the end of the year

[SkinZ187]

lets not forget that sammy is still an "infant" in reid's offensive system .... there could be big things coming from sammy, in the sense that he might develop into what everyone thought he would be. sammy is still young. im very happy to have a few shares

People like you are pretty easy to remember, you stick out.
Hard to trust analysis from a guy like you who homers it and spends countless hours insulting people on reddit with the same name.

I suspect his catch rate will get a bump solely from not playing in cold bleep Buffalo, never mind the QB skill levels.

My hope is that will also help him stay healthy...

[Cameron Giles]

This is looking like a good role for Watkins. He'll never be "the guy" but he's good as a WR2 with WR1 upside depending on gameflow/matchup.
