Watkins' expanded snap count (47) signals bigger Week 7 game plan role.

Watkins is expected to see a significantly expanded role in Week 7 against the Falcons; he led receivers in snaps with 47 last week after being behind Brandin Cooks and Jacob Cowing the week prior, and this increased snap/route participation suggests a bigger game plan for the second-year receiver, though he faces a tough matchup against Atlanta's ninth-ranked EPA per play pass defense.
