The 49ers WR who had a 91% route rate on Monday Night Football. No. 1 WR Mike Evans (Achilles) exited last week with an injury, and No. 2 WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) is out, as are WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee, IR), Christian Kirk (calf, IR), De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle, IR) and Demarcus Robinson (ankle, IR)
STACKED’s take
Watkins 91% route rate with five 49ers WRs out; 18.0 yards per target upside
Watkins is a second-year 49ers WR who posted a 91% route rate on Monday Night Football. With No. 1 WR Mike Evans (Achilles) injured and No. 2 WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) out, plus WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee, IR), Christian Kirk (calf, IR), De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle, IR), and Demarcus Robinson (ankle, IR) sidelined, Watkins has significant opportunity. He has minimal career production (5-108-0 receiving, 6 targets) but has been explosive with his opportunities (18.0 yards per target). The matchup against the Falcons is challenging—the 49ers face a one-day travel deficit to an early 1 pm ET kickoff, and the Falcons are on their third straight home game with turf/indoor advantage. However, the Falcons could be without four defensive starters: LBs Divine Deablo (arm) and Kendal Daniels (neck), and CBs C.J. Henderson (groin) and Billy Bowman (hamstring). The source compares Watkins' opportunity to Richie James in Week 9 of 2020 (9-184-1 receiving, 13 targets).
