Let’s see...
Watkins is:
4th in targets
4th in catches
4th in yardage
4th in catches over 20 yards
4th in yards per game
4th in completion % (58.6%)
4th in yac
3rd in first downs (only 4 ahead of Gurley)
He is 1st in TD’s scored by reception.
Sooooo...
Two questions.
Is he really our #1 WR? Or even *A* #1 WR? Looks like he’s a distant 4th place to me.
Second question is if Watkins was all that in Goff’s mind, why in the world wouldn’t Goff be feeding him the ball more than Woods, Kupp, AND Gurley?
Is it possible that Watkins’ reputation, going back to the draft, even, exceeds his actual production with the Rams in ‘17? I’m thinking, in the minds of some, that it does.
