Fantasy Football: Sammy Watkins wants to play out 2016 season

BUFFALO, N.Y., Dec. 13 (UPI) -- One of the top waiver wire adds this fantasy football season might end up being Sammy Watkins.

The Buffalo Bills wide receiver rewarded fantasy owners with a touchdown in the opening week of the playoffs. Now he gets a matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Watkins, who is revving up his snaps since returning from a foot injury, told the Buffalo Bills' website Tuesday that he wants to play the final three games of the season.

"We've got to keep fighting. We've got three more games," Watkins said. "I feel good. I'm trying to finish my season off to start next season on a good note."

Bills coach Rex Ryan said Watkins will definitely be in Sunday's lineup.

"I know Sammy wants to play," Ryan said. "I think it tells you a lot about him as a football player and a competitor."

As the Bills have faded from playoff contention, Watkins doesn't look like he wants to be among the players shutdown to rest up for next year. Watkins remains a WR2 this week against the Browns. If his snap count keeps up, he will remain a WR2 for the fantasy football championship.

After scoring for the first time this season in Week 14, Watkins now has 235 yards and a touchdown on 16 receptions this season.
