That's not a fact at all. No an overreaction at all. It's a logical assumption based on the only thing that we currently have, what's he did before, and what he is doing now. And I've never said he can't or won't take chances, just that he isn't currently, at least not on any kind of regular basis that would give anyone any reasonable certainty that Watkins will be given a better chance than he has been. That could happen this week, next, week 10, or never. My point being, if things stay as is, he's not going to be a good weekly play, something has to change in order for Sammy to be a strong play, and given all of 2016, plus what we've seen so far this year, assuming that change is just going to magically happen because it fits the narrative we'd like it to, is the dangerous assumption.


Not saying fire Watkins up as your WR1 without question every week, just saying that his talent alone keeps him in the WR3/flex conversation right now, with potential for bigger things.
jumping to conclusions when a QB and WR haven't had time to build any chemistry is pretty much the definition of overreaction when it comes to fantasy football.


Super young QB, in a new system with a new HC (one that has a track record of scoring points in the NFL), with new toys.
Let's let the dust settle before writing any of their top few options off as bench fodder.

no harm in not agreeing

No harm whatsoever!

I think we're actually not completely disagreeing anyways.. you want to wait you pass judgement until the dust settles and we see what we've got, and I'm saying, until the dust settles and we see what happens, he's not going to be dependable. I'm not speculating anything further after that, other than if the status quo continues, obviously his situation remains the same.

Just different POV's of the same situation

It would appear that the dust is settling, and Goff is perfectly fine going to Watkins

Tonight was a bonding experience for Goff and Watkins IMO. I expect Sammy to be involved hence fourth.

I left him on my bench for Kelvin Benjamin.:gaah:

Hoping that NO vs Car game is a shoot out..I got Benji in my $$ league....I think there is a good chance he can do what Watkins did...

It's one game. Watkins will have to learn to do things different than catching deep passes.

It's been my experience that he will become playable just as soon as you bench him, like I did, on both teams. :ohwell:

do you roll him out this week

grabbed Woods in a couple leagues in case he doesn't play, but looks like WRs have working the Dallas CBs recently, and prob a good game script for lots of passes from Goff, I say play him if he plays
