Sammy Watkins Out 4-6 Weeks
6 years agoKansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) suffered a setback and is now out four to six weeks, according to a source. It means that Watkins won't be available now at least until the playoffs, meaning he won't help fantasy owners the rest of the way. It makes sense after the team signed Kelvin Benjamin Thursday night to help with their receiver depth behind Tyreek Hill and tight end Travis Kelce. Benjamin should help KC stretch the field and in the red zone, but he's unlikely to carve out much of a fantasy role in the final four games of the season. Watkins can safely be dropped now in re-draft formats. The biggest winner is Chris Conley.
