Sammy Watkins, Chris Hogan, Robert Woods' Post-Week 11 Fantasy Reaction

Timothy RappNov 13, 2014

Perhaps Sammy Watkins just isn't healthy yet.

Dealing with a groin strain and coming off a game in which he was held to four catches for 27 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Watkins only had a short week to get ready for the Miami Dolphins' excellent pass defense—and it showed. Simply put, he wasn't a factor.

Of course, Miami's pass defense wasn't giving much ground to anyone. Chris Hogan led the way, sure, but neither he or Robert Woods exactly picked up a less than full strength Watkins.

Of course, this verifies one thing we already knew about this passing offense: Only a healthy Watkins is really worth starting. While the dynamic rookie didn't appear to suffer any injury setbacks on Sunday, the short week didn't do him any favors either. 

Watkins has produced in a big way this year, namely after Kyle Orton took over as the starting quarterback. He'll continue doing big things going forward as well. He remains a weekly starting option and WR2, though you might want to consider keeping him on the bench until he's fully healthy. 

As for Hogan and Woods, neither player is a viable starter. While each is capable of posting the occasional solid stat line for fantasy owners, they come too few and far between to bet on.

Hit me up on Twitter—I'll answer your fantasy questions and make some corny jokes, too. It's more fun than a passing drill against the Chicago Bears defense.
