Sammy Watkins and Patrick Mahomes connecting in Chiefs' offseason

The connection between Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver Sammy Watkins is "real," Chiefs.com's B.J. Kissel writes.

What It Means:

According to Kissel, the two have consistently been connecting throughout the offseason program, and fellow receiver Chris Conley testified that Watkins is learning their offense "as fast as anyone I've seen." This is classic offseason puff, but it is still better than seeing him flop in workouts. Watkins' fantasy upside is limited, due to the stacked skill player group in KC, but he's a fine mid-round dart throw in drafts.

Our models project Watkins for 788 receiving yards and 5.3 touchdowns on 55 catches this year as our 37th-best fantasy wide receiver.
