Sammy Watkins to hit open market after not being tagged by Rams

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Sammy Watkins will not receive the team's franchise tag.

What It Means:

The Rams decided to tag Lamarcus Joyner by Tuesday's deadline, making Watkins eligible for free agency when it begins on March 14. It's possible the two sides work out a deal, but the 24-year-old wideout is at least expected to test the open market.

Watkins averaged 8.1 FanDuel points per game last season, with 39 catches (70 targets) for 593 yards and 8 touchdowns.
