Summary
Watkins began strong last year after working hard to improve his overall game. He trained to develop his routes and releases while also working with Chiefs trainers to remake his body so he could limit stress-induced soft-tissue injuries that have derailed multiple seasons of his career. Watkins showed his potential with an obliteration of Jalen Ramsey and the Jaguars in Week 1. However, he never came close to that production for the rest of season and missed most of three games in the middle of the year with a hamstring injury. Watkins returned in a big way during the Chiefs' Super Bowl run, including a 10-catch game in the AFC Championship and a 98-yard outing in the Super Bowl. Watkins is a big-play threat who win deep on the perimeter and find openings and yardage from the slot and despite missing time with the hamstring issue, his chronic foot injuries weren't a factor. He took a pay cut in 2020 to remain with the team and will remain one of the 3-4 most targeted options in this offense. If Tyreek Hill or Travis Kelce gets hurt, Watkins has the talent to become the Chiefs' lead option in the passing game. (July 30)FBG Staff Rankings
