Sammy Watkins, Potential Fantasy Bust in 2017

Watkins went in Rd 5 of Yahoo league tonight to a non Rams fan

I would take every one of those ahead of Gurley except Miller.

Sean McVays RB1s for fantasy in Washington were dead last in the NFL, only averaging 9ppg in his offense and that's PPR so its insanely low for RBs. Gurley was only the 15th best in ppr last year, which clearly puts him in Rb2 territory. There are too many sure things in FF in the area where TG gets drafted to risk that imo, especially given McVays running backs during his time in Washington being the worst in the NFL in fantasy.

He has never had a RB like Gurley, and Gurley will be the bell cow RB for the Rams this year. Expect great things from TG

where did everyone pick kupp? i picked him in the 9th as i didn't want to risk not having him. watkins in the 5th spooked me. everyone called me a homer when i made the pick. fuck them. they also called me that again when i took tavon in the last round. fuck them again.

I hope so certainly. But there are too many far safe picks (outside of injury ofc) at that spot. When its my money on the line, Im not taking a back with a suspect OL, OC whose teams haven't produced production at Rb1 before, and year 1 in a new offense.

Its all about risk vs reward. If TG3 fell to the 4th or 5th I would pull the trigger, but no way in hell in round 2 or even 3

Watkins didn't look good in limited action after the trade but it's a small sample size so whatevs.

Here's what I find intriguing though... He's a top WR talent who has never played in a true passing offense. Think about that one. What's he going to be capable of in this offense? Everyone wants to consider the negative in the media with the Rams but there's a positive side of possibilities too and they're pretty effin exciting if things go our way.

they also called me that again when i took tavon in the last round. freak them again.

In my first draft my friend took him right before me in the 13th so in our 2nd draft together I made sure to get him first so took him in the 9th. 3rd league no one knew about him and was basically last pick before kicker and d. And 4th draft will likely be the same but I might still pick him early to avoid not getting him. So all in all didn't have to reach as much as I thought I would have to
