Watkins is a player Chiefs fans may need to keep an eye out for this week. After a career game against the Jaguars to start the season, he hasn’t done much to impress and prove his worth. Last week against the Titans, he had some critical drops that could have changed the game. It just feels like more of the same story for him.

Watkins has been battling injuries all season, which isn’t new for him. He suffered a hamstring injury and missed time earlier in the season. In Week 10 against the Titans, Watkins ended up with a groin injury.

Watkins has the potential to be one of the best in the league. The least he can do is take some of the pressure off of Tyreek Hill. If Watkins has a good game against the Chargers, it will be a step in the right direction. The Chiefs are going to need him in order to be a good position heading into the stretch run.
