Sammy Watkins Claimed By Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens have decided to claim wide receiver Sammy Watkins off waivers from the Green Bay Packers. The 29-year-old was cut by Green Bay ahead of their Week 15 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. The former first round pick had 13 receptions for 206 yards and no touchdowns through nine games with the Packers. The young wideouts on this roster were stepping up, so the Packers decided to go in a different direction. The Ravens are in need of a wide receiver after placing Devin Duvernay (foot) on the injured reserve. Watkins could immediately slide into a starting role on this team. However, fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for Watkins with Tyler Huntley under center.
Dec 20, 2022 • 11:18 PM | RotoBallerPackers Releasing Sammy Watkins Monday
The Green Bay Packers are releasing wide receiver Sammy Watkins on Monday, according to sources. Watkins will go on waivers and will surely attract some interest around the league. With rookie Romeo Doubs (ankle) returning from an extended absence on Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams, Watkins became the odd man out in the receiving room in Green Bay. The former first-round pick has played a grand total of 11 offensive snaps in the last two games and hasn't caught a pass since Week 10 against Dallas. On the year, Watkins has just 13 receptions for 206 yards and no touchdowns on 22 targets over nine games played. He belongs firmly on the waiver wire and is unlikely to find his way into a substantial role with another team to close out the 2022 season.
Dec 19, 2022 • 5:22 PM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins Back At Practice Thursday
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He returned Thursday after being absent from Wednesday's session due to a knee injury. Per Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, the veteran wide receiver is dealing with some "bumps and bruises." The 29-year-old has been quiet since returning from the injured reserve in Week 7. He has four catches on 10 targets for 48 yards over three games. If active, Watkins will have an expanded role with Romeo Doubs (ankle) out for 4-to-6 weeks. Despite the increased role, fantasy managers can avoid starting Watkins against the Cowboys in Week 10.
Nov 11, 2022 • 1:38 PM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins Absent From Wednesday's Practice
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (knee) didn't practice Wednesday. Per Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, the veteran wide receiver is dealing with some "bumps and bruises." The 29-year-old has been quiet since returning from the injured reserve in Week 7. He has four catches on 10 targets for 48 yards over three games. The Packers are banged up at wide receiver as Romeo Doubs (ankle) is out for four-to-six weeks while Allen Lazard (shoulder) and Christian Watson (concussion) are dealing with injuries. If Watkins is active, he is not on the fantasy radar against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10.
Nov 10, 2022 • 2:11 AM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins Limited Wednesday
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. After missing the last four weeks, the 29-year-old returned to action last Sunday against the Washington Commanders and caught two of his four targets, gaining 36 yards. He has been dealing with a hamstring issue and could be limited at practice this week. Watkins has eight catches for 147 yards and is third on Green Bay's WR depth chart behind Allen Lazard and Romeo Dobbs. The veteran wideout is a boom-or-bus option against the Buffalo Bills if active in Week 8.
Oct 27, 2022 • 1:05 PM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins Officially Active Against Commanders
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday and is officially active for Week 7 against the Washington Commanders. Despite not playing since Week 2, Watkins could have a fairly significant role in the passing attack on Sunday with Randall Cobb (ankle) on IR and rookie Christian Watson (hamstring) missing another game. Still, the 29-year-old veteran will likely be behind Allen Lazard and rookie Romeo Doubs in target share as the team's No. 3 wideout, which will make him hard to trust for much fantasy upside as a deep-league flex play. In his two games with Green Bay, Watkins has six catches on seven targets for 111 yards and no touchdowns.
Oct 23, 2022 • 3:52 PM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins Expected To Play In Week 7
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was activated off the injured reserve on Saturday. He is currently listed as questionable for the Week 7 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Packers anticipate that Watkins will be ready to go for this contest. It'll likely come down to how Watkins feels pre-game, so fantasy managers are going to have to wait a little longer. The 29-year-old could be an interesting deep league streaming option with the Packers limited on offensive weapons. The former first round pick is a decent deep threat, but can't seem to stay healthy.
Oct 23, 2022 • 2:13 PM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins Activated, Randall Cobb To Injured Reserve
The Green Bay Packers have activated wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) off of injured reserve ahead of a Week 7 matchup with the Washington Commanders. The veteran is listed as questionable to suit up on Sunday and is expected to be limited if active. With Randall Cobb (ankle) heading to IR and Christian Watson (hamstring) dealing with a hamstring injury, Watkins will have an opportunity to contribute to Green Bay's passing attack over the next few games. Fantasy managers should avoid playing Watkins this week, but he is an interesting stash in deeper leagues.
Oct 22, 2022 • 10:13 PM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins Has Uncertain Status For Week 7
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) has been designated to return from Injured Reserve, but head coach Matt LaFleur said he's not sure if the team will activate him yet for Week 7. The Packers match up with the Washington Commanders, who are among the worst defenses against fantasy wide receivers. Still, Watkins is a deep-league play, at best if he's active, since the offense is struggling mightily and Allen Lazard is the clear No. 1 wide receiver. Watkins will have some opportunities since Randall Cobb (ankle) is out, but he won't have a high floor if he's active on Sunday.
Oct 21, 2022 • 5:26 PM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins Could Return In Week 7
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) could return for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. On whether Watkins will play Sunday, the Packers head coach Matt LaFleur says, "Yeah, we'll see." "He was limited yesterday, and I thought he did a nice job regarding what we asked him to do." Watkins was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday. The veteran had been sidelined since Week 2. Watkins's return comes at a good time for the Packers, who recently lost Randall Cobb (ankle) who will be out two-to-four weeks but remains mainly an option in deep-league formats.
Oct 21, 2022 • 1:37 AM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins Practices In Limited Capacity
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday. The ninth-year veteran was activated from his stint on IR, and immediately made his way to the practice field for some limited action. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was noncommittal on Watkins being active for Week 7, but this appearance should be a solid step in the right direction for his future availability. Green Bay has been in flux as an offense, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers not being on the same page as his young receivers. Watkins' return to action should bring the veteran presence back that this receiving group is in need of.
Oct 20, 2022 • 5:09 AM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins Activated Off Injured Reserve
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is coming off injured reserve and will be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. The veteran was Green Bay's only free-agent addition at wide receiver in the offseason. However, the former first-round pick has caught six of his seven targets for 111 receiving yards, failing to find the end zone in two games this season. After missing the past four games with the injury, Watkins now has a 21-day practice window before he has to join the active roster. Depending on how practice goes this week, the veteran wide receiver could suit up for the Week 7 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
Oct 19, 2022 • 6:20 PM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins Running Routes Pregame
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) remains sidelined for the Week 6 matchup against the New York Jets. However, the 29-year-old was seen running routes and making catches pregame. This week marks the fourth game and final that Watkins is required to miss after being placed on the injured reserve. Hopefully, Watkins will be able to practice this week and return for Week 7. The Packers offense desperately needs help, so his return would be significant. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Watkins as he could possibly return next week.
Oct 16, 2022 • 3:07 PM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins Placed On Injured Reserve
The Green Bay Packers have placed wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) on injured reserve. Watkins was ruled out earlier in the week for the team's Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but will now miss at least the next four games as he deals with a hamstring injury. Watkins has only seen seven targets so far this season but did lead the Packers in receiving yards last week. Rookie Christian Watson (hamstring) and veteran Randall Cobb (illness) are both questionable for Sunday, so additional targets should be available for Allen Lazard and Romeo Doubs.
Sep 24, 2022 • 6:27 PM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins Ruled Out For Sunday
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 29-year-old was limited with the injury on Wednesday but was a non-participant on Thursday and Friday. It is all too familiar territory for the veteran receiver, who has not played an entire season since his rookie campaign in 2014. The Packers could also be without rookie Christian Watson (hamstring) and Randall Cobb (illness), who are both listed as questionable. Their absence would leave Allen Lazard and Romeo Doubs as the top two wideouts, and both should see increased target totals in a tough matchup against the Buccaneers' secondary. It is unclear how long the injury will sideline Watkins, but for now, he is safe to drop in the majority of leagues.
Sep 24, 2022 • 12:47 AM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins, Christian Watson Not Practicing Thursday
Green Bay Packers wide receivers Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Christian Watson (hamstring) are not participating at practice on Thursday after they were both limited during Wednesday's session. It is likely just a rest day for the two, as the Packers must be cautious considering they are dealing with a banged-up and shallow wide receiver room in the early parts of the season. Watkins was impressive in Week 2 as he led the team in receiving with four catches for 93 yards, which could very well put him in the low-end FLEX discussion if he is able to play in Week 3. On the other hand, Watson has been used sparingly and has amassed just 43 receiving yards through two weeks of action, which makes him an extremely risky option for fantasy managers.
Sep 22, 2022 • 6:15 PM | RotoBallerSammy Watkins, Christian Watson Limited On Wednesday
Green Bay Packers wide receivers Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Christian Watson (hamstring) were both limited during Wednesday's practice. The Packers need one if not both of these players to suit up with Allen Lazard (ankle) banged up as well. Last week, Watkins finished with four receptions for 93 yards in the win over the Chicago Bears. He could be able to hold WR3 value in PPR formats, assuming he can actually stay healthy. Watson is a rotational player right now, but is worth holding in deep leagues. He should eventually have a bigger role on the team.
