One catch for zero yards Watkins pulled in his lone target in Sunday's win against the Cowboys, gaining zero yards.

Impact Watkins continues to see the field frequently, with his 42 offensive snaps marking the fifth time he's seen the field at least 40 times through the first six weeks. That playing time isn't being converted into production, however, as he had nearly as minimal an impact as possible on Sunday's box score. He continues to average one catch per game on the year.

Sets season high with three catches Watkins pulled in three of his four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's win over Arizona.

Impact The line wasn't a particularly impressive one, but both Watkins' targets and receptions represented season highs. He continues to see the field for plenty of snaps, averaging 39.8 per game, but the Eagles haven't shown any interest in spreading the ball beyond their primary weapons. Watkins is tied for fifth on the team in targets but is averaging just 1.6 per game, leaving him with minimal fantasy appeal.

Are Philadelphia Eagles the best team in NFL?

Are Philadelphia Eagles the best team in NFL?

No catches again in Week 4 Watkins failed to pull in his lone target Sunday against the Jaguars.

Impact Watkins played a season-high 46 offensive snaps, but he again didn't play much of a role in the game plan. He's now gone without a catch in three out of four games this season. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith continue to hog nearly all of the wideout targets, and it likely will take an injury to at least one of them for Watkins to have meaningful fantasy appeal.

Zero catches in Week 3 Watkins was targeted just once and did not record a reception in Sunday's Week 3 win over Washington.

Impact Watkins overcame an illness to see the field for 33 snaps, but Jalen Hurts rarely looked his way. Eagles wideouts not named A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith have combined for just five catches on nine targets through three games this season, so it doesn't seem like there's room for Watkins in the game plan as long as the team's top dogs remain healthy.

Good to go Watkins (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington.

Impact Watkins struck gold Monday night with a 53-yard touchdown in the win over Minnesota, but while he's proven himself more than capable as a No. 3 receiver, the Eagles simply don't have much reason to prioritize him in their offense. He should be efficient on a per-target basis while continuing to see limited volume in a passing attack dominated by the three-headed monster of A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert. The long TD on Monday accounts for half of Watkins' targets this year.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Practices in limited fashion Watkins (illness) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact One day removed from sitting out due to an illness, Watkins was back on the field with a cap on his reps. He's seemingly on a path to play Sunday at Washington, a notion that could be confirmed as soon as the Eagles post their final Week 3 injury report Friday.

Dealing with illness Watkins didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.

Impact Watkins has been the definition of hit or miss this season, going without a target Week 1 before striking for a 53-yard touchdown on two targets Week 2. He earned at least 56 percent of the offensive snaps in both contests, but he's clearly behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith at wide receiver for the Eagles. Now, Watkins will have to get past an illness to be able to play Sunday at Washington.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pulls in bomb for score Watkins caught two passes for 69 yards and a touchdown in Monday's win over the Vikings.

Impact A play fake helped Watkins find himself with plenty of space behind the Minnesota secondary on the first play of the second quarter, and Jalen Hurts hit him in stride for a 53-yard touchdown. Despite the highlight play, Watkins didn't do a ton to increase his fantasy stock, as he was only targeted twice on the day after receiving zero targets in Week 1. Additionally, just one of the Eagles' eight touchdowns this season has come through the air, so it may be awhile before Watkins' next score.

Catches both targets Watkins caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 21-20 preseason win over the Browns.

Impact Watkins went for gains of 12 and seven yards on his respective grabs, which both came from quarterback Gardner Minshew, who started with Jalen Hurts sitting out. His stat line was similar to those of Jalen Reagor (two catches for 17 yards) and Zach Pascal (one catch for 15 yards), who represent Watkins' top competition for looks behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith this season.

Flashes as deep threat Watkins recorded two receptions on three targets for 32 yards in Friday's 24-21 preseason loss to the Jets.

Impact Watkins opened the game with a 28-yard reception, finding open space after Jalen Hurts rolled out to his right to extend the play. He figures to open the season as the Eagles' third receiver, but he'll clearly be prioritized behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith (groin) and also potentially Dallas Goedert in the passing offense. Watkins is coming off of a relatively strong 2021 season, during which he recorded 43 receptions for 647 yards and one touchdown.
