The Buffalo Bills made a huge splash in the 2014 draft, moving up, and giving up a first round pick, for highly-touted Clemson Wide Receiver Sammy Watkins.
With that, the Bills added a difference-maker for their team, and for your fantasy squad.
If you search through YouTube, you can easily see that Watkins is capable of catching just about anything, as he has dazzled throughout the Bills’ mini-camp.
In Buffalo quarterback E.J Manuel, Watkins will have a quarterback similar to the one he had in college, Tajh Boyd, which will help him quicly grow accustomed to the NFL.
With the ball, Watkins appears magical, having an insane combination of catching ability, strength, jumping ability, and speed that will make defenses cringe.
If the Bills don’t continue to have an injury-induced rotating door at the quarterback position this season, Watkins could be a stand-out receiver, not only among rookies, but among the NFL’s best impact players.
