Four catches and two carries Watkins pulled in four of six targets for six yards and carried the ball twice for four yards in Sunday's 25-20 victory over Chicago.

Impact Watkins set a season high in touches but gained just 10 total yards on the day. With A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith combining for 307 receiving yards, there wasn't much to go around for anybody else. If the Eagles clinch the top seed in the NFC East and rest their starters for the final week or two of the season, however, Watkins could become a much larger part of the game plan.

Puts in full practice Watkins (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Watkins initially picked up the shoulder injury during the Eagles' Week 13 win over the Titans, but it didn't stop him from playing in this past Sunday's victory over the Giants. He was on the field for 45 percent of the Eagles' offensive snaps in the team's 48-22 triumph, finishing with four receptions for 19 yards on five targets. Though Watkins will be available this weekend in Chicago, he could lose out on a target or two if star tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder) is cleared to return from injured reserve before Sunday, as is anticipated.

Limited in practice Wednesday Watkins was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.

Impact Watkins injured the shoulder against Tennessee two weeks ago and played through it last Sunday's win over the Giants, drawing five targets on 30 snaps and catching four for 19 yards in less than ideal weather. He was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday of last week before the Eagles removed his injury designation Friday, so if that same pattern unfolds this week then he should again be in store for his usual slot-heavy role this Sunday at Chicago.

Four catches in win Watkins brought in four of five targets for 19 yards in the Eagles' 48-22 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Impact Watkins play his usual complementary role behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, tying the former for second in receptions. The third-year wideout has at least enjoyed a steady role in the last six games, producing a 20-227-2 line in that span. Watkins could enjoy a solid role once again in a Week 15 road battle versus the Bears.

Good to go for Sunday Watkins (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact A limited participant in the Eagles' first two practices of Week 14 due to an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, Watkins was able to put in a full workout Friday to erase any concern about his availability heading into Sunday. He should once again serve as the Eagles' No. 3 receiver, a role that has afforded him more looks in the passing game in the absence of top tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder), who will miss his fourth straight game Sunday. Over the Eagles' past three contests, Watkins has put together a 10-103-2 receiving line on 13 targets.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited showing Watkins (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

Impact After departing this past Sunday's win against the Titans, Watkins eventually was diagnosed with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, which has capped his practice reps so far this week. Per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Watkins was seen taking on punt-return reps at Thursday's session, something that he hasn't been asked to do as a pro. In any case, Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not Watkins goes into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's road game versus the Giants.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as limited Wednesday Watkins (shoulder) was listed as limited following Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

Impact Watkins was forced out this past Sunday against the Titans at the tail end of the third quarter and eventually was diagnosed with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. He was slated for an MRI on Monday, the results of which aren't known, but he at least would have been able to begin this week with a capped session, if the Eagles had held practice. In the end, Watkins will have two more chances to get back to full before the team potentially hands him a designation for Sunday's contest at the Giants.

DECEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Slated for MRI Watkins will undergo an MRI on Monday after he suffered an AC joint sprain during Sunday's win over the Titans, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Watkins hurt his left shoulder near the end of the third quarter Sunday but doesn't expect to miss significant time after receiving his initial diagnosis. A better idea of his status should come into focus once the results of his MRI are known, but Zach Pascal will likely see an increased role if Watkins misses any games.

Hurts has 3 TD passes plus TD run, Eagles beat Titans 35-10

Jalen Hurts strengthened his MVP bid by throwing for 380 yards and three touchdowns and running for another score as the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Tennessee Titans 35-10

DECEMBER 4, 2022 • Associated Press

Injures shoulder Sunday Watkins exited Sunday's game against the Titans due to a shoulder injury.

Impact At the end of a trick play near the end of the third quarter that officially amount to a three-yard catch for Watkins, he was favoring his left shoulder and promptly went to the locker room. If he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 13 with five catches (on six targets) for 37 yards. Zach Pascal and Britain Covey are the next wide receivers up for the Eagles behind the top duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores third TD of season Watkins had three receptions (five targets) for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-33 win over Green Bay.

Impact Watkins continued to serve an increased role in the passing game with Dallas Goedert (shoulder) sidelined, posting his second consecutive game with at least 30 yards and a score. The five targets marked a new high for the third-year wideout, so fantasy managers should be aware of his target ceiling during his current hot streak. Goedert is going to miss a minimum of two more games after being placed on IR on Nov. 16, opening the door for Watkins to retain deep-league fantasy value against the Titans on Sunday.

Impact Watkins is the Eagles' No. 3 wide receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but Palmer posits that he's a more likely candidate to help fill Goedert's vacated target volume than the three players Philadelphia has available at tight end (Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra and Tyree Jackson). In the Week 11 win over the Colts, the tight end trio combined for one target across 67 offensive snaps in a game that quarterback Jalen Hurts tied his season low with just 25 pass attempts. Hurts' lack of pass attempts didn't bring much volume for Watkins either, but the young wideout at least secured both of his targets and gained 31 yards, including a key 22-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter. Brown and Smith are still expected to rank far and away as the Eagles' top receiving threats while Goedert is on injured reserve, but Watkins looks as though he'll be the clear No. 3 option in the passing game for the time being and should have a higher floor in fantasy as a result.

Reaches end zone Watkins caught both of his targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's narrow victory over the Colts.

Impact Watkins' 22-yard score early in the fourth quarter brought the Eagles to within three points. He's played a larger part of the offense recently, averaging 45.3 yards on 2.7 catches over the past three games after averaging 12.6 yards on 0.9 catchers over the first seven games, but his stronger recent numbers still aren't enough to make him a reliable fantasy option. Even with Dallas Goedert (shoulder) out, the Eagles still ran most of their passing game through A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, who received a combined 16 of the team's 23 targets.

Three keys opposing coaches can take from Eagles' loss to build blueprint

Leads team in receiving yards Watkins caught all four of his targets for 80 yards in Monday's loss to the Commanders.

Impact Watkins had averaged a mere one catch per game through the first nine weeks, but he made a much bigger impact this time around, setting season highs in both catches and yards. There could be more targets to go around in the coming weeks with Dallas Goedert out indefinitely due to a shoulder injury, though it's still hard to get too excited about Watkins, who has just 17 targets on the year.

Eagles' weakness exposed in loss ... will other teams be able to replicate?

Catches two passes Watkins caught both of his targets for 25 yards in Thursday's win over the Texans.

Impact Watkins remains the Eagles' clear third wide receiver, as his 35 offensive snaps easily beat fourth wideout Zach Pascal's 20. Filling that role for an undefeated team hasn't led to much fantasy value, however, as he's averaging just a single catch per game and has reached the end zone just once all year.
