2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ordinarily, the third wideout on an offense that finished second in both points and yards would be expected to provide a fair amount of fantasy value, but that wasn't the case for Watkins in 2022. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith soaked up 55.6 percent of the Eagles' targets, leaving little work for Watkins, who finished with a 33-354-3 line on 51 targets. Watkins did see a bit more focus during the five contests TE Dallas Goedert missed with a shoulder injury, but even over that stretch, Watkins averaged just 3.6 catches for 25.6 yards per game. It would take an injury to Brown or Smith to open up more volume for Watkins this season, and that's assuming the arrival of Olamide Zacchaeus doesn't push him further down the depth chart.

Speaking Thursday, Eagles GM Howie Roseman said "nobody in this building is down on" Watkins following Philadelphia's signing of Olamide Zaccheaus, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
As the Eagles' third receiver last season, Watkins averaged 1.9 catches for 20.8 yards per game, scoring three touchdowns in 17 games of action. Watkins' 10.7 yards per catch was also well off his 15.1 and 15.0 marks during his first two years. Zaccheaus posted a 40-533-3 line in Atlanta last year and will compete with Watkins for No. 3 duties behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Heading into the 2022 season, Watkins is now seated at third on the Eagles' depth chart following the splashy acquisition of A.J. Brown. In that context, Watkins' volume will almost certainly take a hit, as he had been slated to be the team's No. 2 receiver (after DeVonta Smith) prior to the Brown trade. It's possible, however, that with defenses now having two legit No. 1 receivers to focus on, the Southern Miss product will be more open to scoop up targets and rack up yards. The most likely scenario though is that the 2020 sixth-rounder will find it hard to surpass last year's output of 43 catches (on 62 targets) for 647 yards and a TD in 17 games.
Selected in the sixth round of the 2020 Draft, Watkins entered his rookie year buried on the depth chart, started the season on IR and didn't draw his first target until Week 14. He'll begin his second campaign in a similar situation, with an uphill battle for playing time and relevance.
Watkins was the third and final speedy receiver the Eagles nabbed in the draft. His 4.35 40-yard dash placed him second among wide receivers at the NFL Combine. However, with seven other receivers currently ahead of him on the depth chart, it isn't likely the 21-year-old will make an early impact on offense in his first pro season. Given his shiftiness with the ball in his hands, however, he does have a shot to earn a spot as a returner and see some gadget plays if injuries strike any of the Philadelphia receivers.
