2025 Fantasy Outlook
Watkins delivered another strong campaign in 2024/25, finishing with 16 goals in the Premier League while leading the line with intensity. He added eight assists and showed improved link-up play in Unai Emery's system. This came after a slow start in which Jhon Duran stole playing time. Entering 2025/26, he should remain the focal point in a potent attack that'll stay aggressive in both domestic and European play. If he stays healthy, Watkins could flirt with 20 goals with 10-plus assists being the ideal situation for fantasy purposes.
Doing fine after collision

October 10, 2025
Watkins suffered a collision with the post after missing a clear chance in Thursday's 3-0 victory against Wales but is doing fine after the incident, both the player on Instagram and coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed, according to the Birmingham Mail. "He's ok. It was a clear goal normally for him but unfortunately he saw the ball too late and couldn't score and crashed into the post. It was very, very painful, but as I understood it now it's only painful so no harm done."
ANALYSIS
Watkins scored one goal for the Three Lions in the first half of Thursday's game against Wales before missing an open chance later in the half when he hit the post. The striker was in significant pain but a severe injury has been ruled out, although he was forced off at halftime by coach Thomas Tuchel. Watkins is expected to be back available for the trip to Tottenham on Oct. 19 if no further issues arise from that incident.
