I think its a perfect role for him, hes getting handoffs, they design plays for him specifically. hes got a ton of upside, those who bought him after week one are going to be rewarded nicely.

He was traded for Kerryon Johnson in a non-ppr league.

Yeah but I bought him for 1.08 in my startup in early 2016 (about a month before he broke his foot). My hope at the time was that he'd build off the second half of 2015 (where he was something like the WR4) and become a truly elite WR1 for the following 6-8 years.

Being the 1b at WR in an explosive passing offense is pretty much ideal for Sammy, agreed. He's looking like he's going to be a good option as a starter in fantasy and a great flex play.

"Worth an add", sure... But he's not better than Watkins, so view such a move as very, very short term
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

Sammy Watkins will forever be my waste of the 1.01 pick. God willing he comes back and blows up in the post season so I can sell, sell, sell! 5 years of him putting up big points on my bench and crap (usually) in my line-up! Sad!

Thank god I bought him cheap this off season

Chris Hogan and Peyton Barker

no one is going to buy this guy now, he's hurt way to much, and isn't even putting up good numbers for people to take a risk.

I sold him for a late first and some throw in right before our rookie draft. Took Sutton with it and made another move to get Anthony Miller for the same team (with the throw in). The league was saying I sold so low on Sammy, but I was fed up with his "performance". The couple good games per year he had was always while riding the pine.

Same. People were pushing that taek
hard. If you didn't sell, you have nobody to blame but yourself. The guy has real talent, but was always going to be the 3rd option on this team. That and his feet are falling off.
