Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins could return to action against the Denver Broncos this Thursday, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Watkins hurt himself in Week 5 and sat out on Sunday against the Texans, but Rapoport said there is "optimism" that he could be back on Thursday. Outside of a monster Week 1 though, Watkins has not been a difference-maker this season.
Our models currently project Watkins to catch 3.4 passes for 47.1 yards and 0.4 yards on Thursday.
