Sammy Watkins: Works out with Colts
Sammy Watkins had a workout with the Colts on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.The Colts were in the market for a wide receiver at the trade deadline, but they ultimately failed to make a deal. Watkins racked up 206 yards and zero touchdowns in nine appearances with the Packers in 2022 before finishing the year tallying four appearances with the Ravens. The veteran pass catcher has been patiently awaiting an opporunity this season, and it remains to be seen if he did enough to earn that in Indy.

Ravens' Sammy Watkins: Topsy turvy 2022 season
Sammy Watkins caught four of eight targets for 131 yards in four games with the Baltimore Ravens in 2022.The veteran began the year in Green Bay but was released in December. He landed back in Baltimore for his second stint with the club and played an average of 29.8 snaps per game in that span. Overall, Watkins caught 27 of 49 targets for 394 yards and a touchdown, and his 8.0 YPT average was his best since 2018 while with the Chiefs. He was on a one-year deal prior to being released by the Packers and will likely hit free agency again this offseason. Watkins will be entering his age-30 season, and it's unlikely at this stage that he will be inked to a long-term deal at his next destination.

Ravens' Sammy Watkins: Draws four targets in Week 18
Sammy Watkins finished with two catches for 79 yards on four targets in Sunday's 27-16 loss to the Bengals.Making his third appearance for the Baltimore Ravens since being claimed off waivers from the Packers, Watkins made a couple of splash plays and finished the regular-season finale as the team's second-leading receiver behind tight end Isaiah Likely (eight catches for 103 yards). Watkins played 37 of the Ravens' 75 snaps on offense (49 percent) and appears poised to retain a top-three role in the wideout corps in this Sunday's rematch with the Bengals in the wild-card round.

Ravens' Sammy Watkins: Not targeted in loss
Sammy Watkins failed to record a single target in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Steelers.Watkins played 22 of the Baltimore Ravens' 52 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as the team's No. 2 receiver behind Demarcus Robinson. The veteran wideout wasn't able to get involved in the offense with limited opportunities on the field. Watkins will look to be more productive in a Week 18 matchup with the Bengals, though it is unclear if Baltimore will have Lamar Jackson back under center.

Ravens' Sammy Watkins: Catches one pass
Sammy Watkins caught his only target for 40 yards in Saturday's 17-9 win over the Falcons.In his first game with the Baltimore Ravens, Watkins was only targeted once but his 40-yard reception was the Ravens' biggest play on offense in the contest. The 29-year-old wideout filled in as Baltimore's No. 2 receiver behind Demarcus Robinson with Devin Duvernay (foot) out for the remainder of the season. It's possible Watkins could play a potentially solid role in the Ravens' passing attack, but the team's run-heavy approach will make it hard to trust the veteran down the stretch. Watkins will look to get more involved when the Ravens host the Steelers in Week 17.

Ravens' Sammy Watkins: Will be available Saturday
Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Thursday that Sammy Watkins is likely to play Saturday against the Falcons, Clifton Brown of the Baltimore Ravens' official site reports. "We're probably going to play him," Harbaugh said. "He looks great. There was some familiarity with the offense, and I'm really, really happy and excited to have him."Watkins isn't returning from an injury and already has prior experience with offensive coordinator Greg Roman's system from their time together in Baltimore last season, so it comes as little surprise that the wideout is on track to have a role Saturday even though he didn't rejoin the Ravens until Tuesday after being claimed off waivers from Green Bay. Even if Watkins didn't have prior experience with the system, Baltimore might not have had a choice but to throw him in the fire right away, as an already weak receiver room became even thinner when Devin Duvernay fractured his right foot in Tuesday's practice. With Duvernay now joining Tylan Wallace (hamstring) and Rashod Bateman (foot) on injured reserve, Watkins is set to challenge Demarcus Robinson, DeSean Jackson and James Proche for snaps and targets at receiver.

Ravens' Sammy Watkins: Lands back in Baltimore
The Baltimore Ravens claimed Sammy Watkins off waivers from the Packers on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Watkins disappointed in Baltimore in 2021 and didn't do much for the Packers this season before being cut Monday, but he could get some playing time on a Ravens team that's more desperate than ever for help at wide receiver. Demarcus Robinson and Devin Duvernay have gotten most of the wideout snaps recently, with DeSean Jackson and occasionally James Proche getting some run off the bench. It doesn't hurt that Watkins knows the system from spending the previous season in Baltimore.

Sammy Watkins: Time up in Green Bay
The Packers plan to waive Sammy Watkins on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Watkins' role in Green Bay had been minimal recently, as he failed to record double-digit offensive snaps in either of his last two games. With Christian Watson's emergence and Romeo Doubs set to return from injury for Monday's game against the Rams, it appears the veteran simply no longer has a place on the offense. Through nine appearances this season, Watkins racked up just 13 catches for 206 yards without a touchdown on 22 targets.

Packers' Sammy Watkins: Role remains minimal
Sammy Watkins played seven snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 28-19 victory over the Bears.A key block from Watkins sprung fellow wideout Christian Watson's game-clinching 46-yard touchdown run with just under two minutes to play, but he finished without a reception for a third straight game and without a target for the second time is as many weeks. Watkins finished fifth among Green Bay Packers wideouts in snaps in Week 13, and he could fall one spot further when the Packers next take the field Week 15, as Romeo Doubs (ankle) should be ready to get back on the field by then.

Packers' Sammy Watkins: Limited to four snaps in loss
Sammy Watkins played four snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 40-33 loss to the Eagles.Watkins played at least 20 snaps in all seven of the games he'd appeared in prior to Week 12, but he was nearly eliminated from the game plan Sunday as the Green Bay Packers chose to use more multi-tight end sets. It will be tough for him to provide any help for fantasy players in his current role, as the Packers still have a bye on the schedule and have more reason to give snaps to younger wideouts like Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs (ankle).
