Quez Watkins Active For Week 12

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. He was listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after being activated from injured reserve on Saturday. The 25-year-old has appeared in just three games this season, catching four passes for 21 yards. Upon his return, Watkins should operate as the Eagles' No. 3 receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. He remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues.

Quez Watkins Activated From Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) has been activated off the injured reserve on Saturday. That is good news considering Watkins has been sidelined since mid-October due to a hamstring issue. Watkins has only played in three games, catching four of his five targets for 21 yards. It's worth noting that the Eagles did sign Julio Jones in the absence of Watkins. Jones figures to remain the third wideout behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in this offense. That being said, Watkins will probably end up fourth on the depth chart and get lost in the shuffle. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help heading into Week 12.

Quez Watkins Tagged As Questionable For Week 12

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the Week 12 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. It's worth noting that Watkins is on the injured reserve, but had his practice window opened earlier this week. Fellow wideout Julio Jones has been removed from the injury report and appears to be healthy heading into this week. If healthy, Watkins is expected to battle Jones for snaps as the third wideout in this offense. It's tough to imagine either of them having a ton of fantasy value. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith remain the primary offensive focal points, so everyone else will likely just get the leftovers.

Quez Watkins Designated For Return

The Philadelphia Eagles opened up wide receiver Quez Watkins' (hamstring) 21-day practice window on Wednesday. Watkins, who has been on the injured reserve list since Week 6, could play as soon as this Sunday, depending on his practice status leading up to Week 12. The 25-year-old wideout first suffered his hamstring issue in Week 2 before re-aggravating it in Week 5 and missing the next five games. Upon his return, he will likely split WR3 reps with veteran Julio Jones in Philadelphia's offense. So, Watkins is better left on waivers in fantasy and shouldn't see many opportunities when he does return.

Eagles Place Quez Watkins On IR, Activate Nakobe Dean

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve. It's been an injury-riddled start to the 2023 season for Watkins who left Week 2 early with a hamstring injury, missed the next two games, and returned last Sunday. It appears he has re-injured his hamstring, though, and will now miss at least four games. Olamide Zaccheaus should see more opportunities in the interim. As part of Saturday's roster moves, the Eagles also activated linebacker Nakobe Dean (foot) from injured reserve. The Georgia product logged seven tackles back in Week 1 and should provide a key boost to Philadelphia's defense.

Quez Watkins Expected To Be Out This Week

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury that is still being evaluated and he's expected to miss the Week 6 contest versus the New York Jets, according to a source. In three games played so far in 2023, Watkins has only four receptions on his five targets for 21 yards and no touchdowns, so he's well off the fantasy radar in the vast majority of leagues. The 25-year-old returned from his hamstring injury in the Week 5 win over the Los Angeles Rams last weekend and caught two of his three targets for only four yards. He can't seem to get past his hamstring injury and could be forced to miss more time beyond Week 6. Olamide Zaccheaus will have a bigger role this Sunday against the Jets with Watkins likely out.

Quez Watkins Ready To Return In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) put in a full practice on Wednesday. Watkins hasn't played in the last two games for the Eagles, but it looks like he'll be ready to roll this Sunday in Los Angeles when the team takes on the Rams. With Watkins sidelined the last two weeks, Olamide Zaccheaus served as the No. 3 wideout behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and caught three passes for 69 yards and a touchdowns. The return of the 25-year-old Watkins will push Zaccheaus back to the sidelines more often. In the first two games of the year, Watkins only caught two passes for 17 yards on two targets, so he isn't a realistic option for starting lineups in fantasy.

Quez Watkins Still Not Practicing

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, per ESPN. The 25-year-old left Week 2's Thursday night game versus the Minnesota Vikings with a hamstring injury and hasn't been able to practice ever since. Until he gets back on the field to some degree, it's fair to consider Watkins on the wrong side of questionable for Week 4's divisional tilt with the Washington Commanders. Olamide Zaccheaus, who came free for a 34-yard touchdown catch during Week 3's Monday Night Football, would join three-receiver sets once again if Watkins is not able to play. Neither of which belong in fantasy conversations due to Philadelphia's concentrated passing attack toward A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert.

Quez Watkins Injured Thursday Night

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury in the Thursday night game against the Minnesota Vikings and was ruled out for the rest of the game. Watkins was hurt in the first half and was seen jogging on the sidelines, but the Eagles opted to hold him out for the remainder of the contest early in the year. The 25-year-old wasn't targeted at all before getting injured and had just two receptions for 17 yards in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots, so he's clearly off the fantasy radar for the time being. If Watkins is unable to play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Olamide Zaccheaus will have a bigger role in the slot for the Eagles as they look to go 3-0.
