Bumped to third on depth chart
Watkins is now seated at third on the Eagles' depth chart after the acquisition of A.J. Brown, Zach Berman of the Athletic reports.
Analysis: Watkins' volume almost certainly takes a hit, as he had been slated to be the Eagles' No. 2 receiver after DeVonta Smith prior to the Brown trade. It's possible, however, that with defenses now having two legit No. 1 receivers to focus on, the Southern Miss product will be more open to scoop up targets and rack up yards. The most likely scenario is that the 2020 sixth-round pick will find it hard to surpass last year's 43 catches and 647 yards.

Could be No. 2 receiver next year
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Wednesday that Watkins can be one of the better No. 2 receivers in the league, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: The 2020 sixth-round pick doesn't have the numbers to back that up at this stage in his career, but he took a huge step forward after a quiet rookie season, showing a knack for big plays and high-difficulty catches. Jalen Reagor, a first-round pick from the same draft, can't say the same, which is part of the reason Sirianni referred to him as the team's No. 3 receiver when talking with reporters Wednesday. Of course, the Eagles could also draft or sign someone to push both Watkins and Reagor…read more

Seven targets in postseason loss
Watkins caught two of seven targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 31-15 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Watkins drew seven targets during the Eagles' Week 18 loss to the Cowboys, and he matched that total during the postseason opener. The 23-year-old saw an inconsistent workload during the 2021 campaign and secured 43 of 62 targets for 647 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for three yards across 17 regular-season appearances. He showed some improvement during his second professional campaign and could enter the 2022 season as Philadelphia's No. 2 option at wide receiver.

Scores in finale
Watkins caught five of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 51-26 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Watkins helped Philadelphia move the sticks during Saturday's contest, but his performance was enhanced by a 36-yard touchdown with under two minutes remaining. That play marked the second-year wideout's first and only end-zone trip of the regular season. Given his strong finish, though, Watkins will strive to carry some of his momentum into next weekend's playoff game.

Logs full practice
Watkins (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: Watkins will be on the field Saturday against the Cowboys, but he still hasn't caught more than four passes in a game this season, and his snap share dropped well south of the usual range in two of the past three weeks. His fantasy floor is low, and his upside is modest in a run-heavy offense.

Limited in walk-through session
Watkins was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to a knee injury.
Analysis: Watkins again played more than half of the Eagles' offensive snaps in last week's 27-17 win over Washington, but his role in the passing attack was fairly muted, as he finished with two catches for 15 yards on four targets. Though he's banged up coming out of that Week 17 contest, Watkins should be ready to play in Saturday's regular-season finale versus the Cowboys if he's able to maintain limited participation or upgrade to full activity in practices Wednesday and Thursday.

Two catches in win
Watkins caught two of his four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Football Team.
Analysis: Watkins finished third among Eagles pass catchers with four targets but wasn't able to convert that into much yardage. While the 23-year-old remains a tertiary option in the passing game, he may be in line for more work in Week 18 if the Eagles opt to bench any of their top players in what is now a meaningless game in terms of the standings.

Efficient with three catches
Watkins secured all three targets for 43 yards in the Eagles' 34-10 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Watkins checked in second behind DeVonta Smith in receptions and receiving yardage, and while his perfect catch rate was a highlight, he did get whistled for holding on what would have been a Dallas Goedert touchdown grab early in the third quarter. The speedy second-year wideout has multiple receptions in all but one game this season, but he hasn't topped four catches in any one contest. Watkins lines up for a favorable matchup on paper against a suspect Washington secondary in Week 17.

Limited to two catches
Watkins secured both his targets for 14 yards in the Eagles' 27-17 win over Washington on Tuesday night.
Analysis: The speedster was able to clear the COVID-19 protocols approximately 48 hours prior to kickoff, but his overall impact on the game was minimal. Watkins has had some serviceable performances this season as a deep threat, yet the boom-or-bust nature of his production limits his fantasy appeal to that of deep-league speculative play.

Comes off COVID-19 list
The Eagles reinstated Watkins from the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.
Analysis: Philadelphia never revealed whether Watkins' placement on the list Monday was the result of a positive test of the virus, but the NFL's decision to postpone the Eagles' originally scheduled game for Sunday back to Tuesday due to COVID-19-related concerns within the Washington organization ultimately provided the receiver with enough time to clear the necessary protocols.

Eagles-Washington moved to Tuesday
Watkins and the Eagles will no longer play Washington on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.
Analysis: Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within Washington's organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Football Team will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. Philadelphia has thus far avoided a team-wide outbreak of the virus, though Watkins is the lone player on the roster currently residing on the COVID-19 list. The Eagles haven't indicated where Watkins stands in his bid to return from the list, but the…read more

Added to COVID-19 list
The Eagles placed Watkins on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Analysis: The team hasn't revealed whether Watkins was placed on the list due to a positive test for the virus or a close-contact situation. In the former case, Watkins -- if vaccinated -- would have a shot at receiving clearance for Sunday's game against Washington if he's asymptomatic for a 48-hour period and tests negative for the virus twice at least 24 hours apart. Prior to the Eagles' Week 14 bye, Watkins had suited up in each of the team's first 13 games, producing a 31-491-0 line on 46 targets.

Racks up 60 yards
Watkins secured all three of his targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 33-18 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Watkins led the Eagles' receivers by playing 77 percent of the team's offensive snaps Sunday, and he posted his second-highest yardage total of the season in the win. He's now been targeted at least three times in four of the last five games, and he's secured 11 of 18 targets for 125 yards while rushing once for three yards during that time.

Five targets in defeat
Watkins caught two of his five targets for 23 yards and rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: A week after putting up a goose egg on a season-low target count of one, Watkins was back up to a more standard workload Sunday. Unfortunately, it also translated to a fairly customary level of production, as the 23-year-old hasn't registered more than 33 yards in any of his past five games. He still played eight more snaps than Jalen Reagor's 45, however.

Doesn't factor into win
Watkins did not catch his only target in Sunday's 40-29 win over the Saints.
Analysis: A week after setting a season high in catches, Watkins saw a season low in both receptions and targets. While he still played more than Jalen Reagor, neither wideout is likely to be able to produce consistently in what is increasingly a run-first offense in Philadelphia.

Logs season high in catches
Watkins caught four of his six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Watkins saw more targets in this one than he had since Week 4, perhaps because Dallas Goedert (head) left with a possible concussion. The Southern Miss product still put up a lackluster yardage total, however, and has topped 50 yards just once this season -- back in Week 2. He could be in line for greater production if Goedert is forced to miss any time.

Two more catches in loss
Watkins caught two of his three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: For the second straight game, the Eagles attempted fewer than 20 passes, with DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert each seeing six. That left mere scraps for Watkins, the ostensible third receiving option on the team. While he continued his streak of at least a pair of catches in every game this season, the nine yards were his fewest of the year.

Hauls in both targets
Watkins caught each of his two targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 44-6 win over the Lions.

Two grabs in loss
Watkins caught two of his four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 33-22 loss to Las Vegas.
Analysis: Watkins didn't see a target until midway through the third quarter with the Eagles trailing by 23. He kept his streak of at least two catches in every game this season intact. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old has only topped 50 yards once this year, and that was back in Week 2.

Three catches in third straight
Watkins caught three of his five targets for 44 yards in Thursday's 28-22 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Right now, it's clear that Watkins is ahead of Jalen Reagor (no catches on three targets) on the depth chart, at least when it comes to how Jalen Hurts sees it. While Reagor has played more snaps in every game but one this season, Watkins has generally produced equal or better numbers from game to game though neither has gone for more than 53 yards over the past four weeks.

Three catches in win
Watkins caught all three of his targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: The 23-year-old continues to outproduce Jalen Reagor and even out-snapped him for the first time this season 52-43. Watkins has also seen a red-zone target in each of the past two weeks, while Reagor has none at all this year. Watkins is still tough to rely on, however, because he has only one game all season with more than three targets.

Upgrades to full activity
Watkins (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Watkins looks to be in the clear for Sunday's game at Carolina after he took every rep during Thursday's session after being listed as a limited participant a day earlier. The second-year player has been a steady complementary presence in the Eagles' Jalen Hurts-led passing attack, totaling 10 receptions for 219 yards on 14 targets through the team's first four contests.

Limited with knee injury
Watkins was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a knee injury, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The team's No. 3 receiver, Watkins has played between 48 and 66 percent of snaps in each game, including 58 percent Sunday, when he saw a season-high seven targets in a 42-30 loss to the Chiefs. With No. 2 receiver Jalen Reagor struggling, Watkins has a chance to move up the depth chart if he puts the knee injury behind him quickly. The Eagles face Carolina in Week 5.

Seven targets in loss
Watkins caught three of his seven targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: The 2020 sixth-round pick doubled his target total for the season in the game, although he didn't have much to show for it at the end of the day. Still, he played 43 snaps (58 percent), just nine fewer than Jalen Reagor, who was pretty much invisible the whole contest. Through four games, Watkins has outproduced the Eagles' first-rounder from the same draft class as him, with Watkins delivering a 10-219 line compared to Reagor's 14-116.

Catches both targets in loss
Watkins caught both of his two targets for 46 yards in Monday's 41-21 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: Watkins accounted for the Eagles' longest play of the day, fending off pass interference to record a 41-yard reception in the third quarter. His night could have looked a lot better in the box score, too, but he had two catches totaling 45 yards called back due to penalties. Watkins appears to be gaining traction in the offense; his snap share has climbed from 49 to 51 to 64 percent through the first three contests.

Long reception powers production
Watkins recorded two receptions on two targets for 117 yards in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Watkins saw only a pair of targets, but he made the most of them. His first reception came late in the first quarter and went for 26 yards. One drive later, he recorded a 91-yard reception that finished just shy of the end zone. Watkins has only five targets through two weeks, but it appears that the Eagles are intent on getting the ball in his hands at least a few times per contest.

Three catches in opener
Watkins caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 32-6 win over Atlanta.
Analysis: Watkins drew the start and worked as the Eagles' third receiver in this one, showing the hype surrounding his preseason was legit. Oddly, however, all three of his catches came on the first three plays of the opening drive, and he wasn't targeted again despite the success. The 2020 sixth-round pick saw 34 snaps on offense -- two more than J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and Greg Ward combined -- and also served as the kick returner.

Watkins has been part of the first-team offense in joint practices with the Jets this week, NJ.com's Chris Franklin reports.
Analysis: The 2020 sixth-round pick credits offseason work with Atlanta's Calvin Ridley for helping him improve as a route runner. Watkins' progress has been one of the biggest developments out of Philadelphia training camp, with the second-year pro now a real threat to push slot man Greg Ward out of the No. 3 receiver role.

Watkins failed to bring in his only target in the Eagles' 35-0 preseason loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.
Analysis: Watkins recorded a 79-yard touchdown grab in the Eagles' preseason opener against the Steelers, but he couldn't replicate that success Thursday. The second-year wideout is fighting to move up the Eagles' crowded receiver depth chart, but he'll likely need a strong showing in the preseason finale against the Jets on Friday, Aug. 27 to have a shot at the No. 5 receiver role he's vying for.

Watkins caught one of two targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 24-16 preseason loss to Pittsburgh.

Prior to that play, he came just short of getting under a deep ball from starting quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Analysis: Watkins has seen his stock rise in camp due to his speed and evident chemistry with Jalen Hurts. The pair has connected on a number of plays so far.

Watkins finished the 2020 campaign with seven catches on 13 targets for 106 yards and a touchdown across six appearances.
Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick spent the beginning of the campaign on injured reserve, and once activated Week 4, he was initially buried on the depth chart at wide receiver. The Eagles gained more trust in Watkins over the final quarter of the season, however, as he played at least 22 snaps in three of the last four games and drew a target in each of those contests.

All clear for Week 17
Watkins (rib) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup against Washington after practicing with no restrictions Friday.
Analysis: The 22-year-old steadily improved his practice participation throughout the week, and he's seemingly shown enough to the team training staff to gain clearance for Week 17. Watkins remains a depth option within the Eagles' passing attack, though he'll move up one slot in the receiving corps after DeSean Jackson (ankle) was ruled out for the regular-season finale Friday. The sixth-round rookie has produced five catches for 97 yards and a touchdown over his past two appearances.

Hauls in long bomb in loss
Watkins caught two of his three targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: After Dallas scored to go up by 13 early in the third quarter, Watkins corralled his first target of the game for a 43-yard gain to open the Eagles' next drive. Unfortunately, the rookie wouldn't see another target until Philadelphia's final possession, which came with the game out of reach. With 97 yards and a touchdown in just 40 total snaps over the last two games, Watkins may have made a case for more playing time in the season's final contest against Washington.

Analysis: Watkins caught a short screen pass and spun to get around the Cardinals defense before turning on the burners and scampering 32 yards down the left sideline for the Eagles' first score of the day early in the second quarter. The rookie registered the first catch of his career his last time out, and followed it up with his first career trip to the end zone in this one.

Analysis: Despite the Ravens holding a commanding 17-0 lead at halftime and forcing the Eagles into a pass-happy game script, Watkins was unable to connect with quarterback Carson Wentz. The rookie has now gone without a target in his two games since returning from injured reserve last week, and his fortunes are unlikely to improve in the near future.

Watkins (upper body) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: The Eagles will probably take it easy with their rookie, but it's good to see Watkins activated off injured reserve after missing the last four games due to an upper body injury.

Watkins (upper body) won't be available for Sunday's game against the 49ers after the Eagles elected not to activate him from injured reserve prior to Saturday's deadline for Week 4 roster moves, Jeff Skversky of 6 ABC Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: After missing the Eagles' first three games with the upper-body injury, Watkins was cleared to return to practice this week, but the coaching and medical staffs evidently determined that the rookie needed more time to get back up to full speed. The Eagles can still evaluate Watkins for two and a half more weeks before determining whether or not to add him to the 53-man roster, with his next chance to make his NFL debut coming Oct. 11 in Pittsburgh.

Returns to practice
Philadelphia designated Watkins (upper body) to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.
Analysis: The transaction opens a 21-day window in which Watkins can take part in practices while the Eagles evaluate him for a potential promotion to the 53-man roster. Watkins missed the Eagles' first three games with an upper-body injury, but if the coaching staff is satisfied with where he stands on the health front during practice this week, he could be cleared to make his NFL debut as soon as Sunday in San Francisco. The Eagles are in dire need of another healthy body at receiver with all of Alshon…read more

Shifts to IR
The Eagles placed Watkins (upper body) on injured reserve Sunday.
Analysis: Watkins will need to spend at least three weeks on injured reserve before being eligible to return to the active roster, so his first chance to suit up this season will come Week 4 at San Francisco. The rookie sixth-round pick was considered day-to-day while sitting out with an upper body injury at training camp, so it shouldn't take him too long to get healthy.

Wears pads at Tuesday's practice
Watkins (upper body) practiced with pads Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: Watkins was initially considered day-to-day after missing Saturday's practice, and he's almost back to full form. It's unclear if the rookie sixth-round pick was limited at all in practice, but he should be fully healthy for Week 1 nonetheless. With Jalen Reagor (shoulder) expected to miss a few weeks and Alshon Jeffrey (foot) still on the PUP list, Watkins has a solid chance to make the 53-man roster after posting 1,178 yards and six touchdowns in his final collegiate season.

Day-to-day with injury
Watkins did not participate in practice Saturday due to an upper-body injury, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: The report indicates Watkins is day-to-day with the undefined injury. The 2020 sixth-round pick hasn't necessarily stood out during training camp thus far, but the sheer volume of other qualified receiving threats has largely been the reason as opposed to any sort of shortcomings he has a receiver.

Gets nice opportunity sans Goodwin
Watkins could pick up some of the slack after Marquise Goodwin opted out of the 2020 season, ESPN.com's Tim McManus reports.
Analysis: The Eagles prioritized speed in late April, trading for an Olympic long jumper (Goodwin) after they'd used three draft picks on wideouts with sub-4.5 speed. Watkins, a 4.35 burner, was the last of those three selections as a sixth-rounder, arguably making him a candidate for the practice squad more so than the active roster. However, his chances to make the team now look much better, with Goodwin sitting out 2020 and Alshon Jeffery slow to recover from Lisfranc surgery. It's still a long shot…read more
