As we head into our fantasy football championships, things are going from bad to worse with regard to injuries, particularly at the wide receiver position.

In Week 14, we lost Mike Evans, Calvin Ridley, D.J. Chark, Marvin Jones and Alshon Jeffery. Now, Week 15 appears to have taken Chris Godwin. If you somehow made it through your playoff gauntlet and are ready to prep for your fantasy title game, it’s time to hit the waiver wire and find some healthy bodies capable of catching passes.

The first stop is Philadelphia, where the job of receiver is among the most dangerous in America. With injuries to Jeffrey, DeSean Jackson and Nelson Agholor, the Eagles basically have one healthy wideout left in Greg Ward.

Undersized, but fast, Ward gives the Eagles an option to stretch the field and put the ball into the hands of someone with speed. Tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert may get the bulk of the targets, but Ward offers a different dimension of player and something the Eagles will need if they are to win the division.

The loss of Evans brought fantasy owners the gift of Breshad Perriman, so what will the loss of Godwin bring? Well, if you miss out on Ward, say hello to Justin Watson, a fifth-round pick by the Bucs out of the University of Pennsylvania in 2018.

After Evans went down, Watson saw a 55 percent share of the offensive snaps as the team’s new No. 3 wideout and worked in that capacity this past week as well. At least until Godwin went down, then Watson stepped up to No. 2, which is where he will be this week.

He is a talented player with a lot of size and good but not great speed. We have yet to witness anything too exciting, but many times in fantasy, it is about opportunity more than it is about talent.

The Bucs have little to offer out of the backfield, which forces Jameis Winston to air it out regularly. He averages nearly 40 attempts per game and is coming off back-to-back 450-plus yard games. With a Week 16 matchup against the Texans and their always vulnerable secondary, we can probably expect the same game plan for Winston, which spills off to Watson and makes him a definite fantasy option.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and if that means scraping the bottom of the fantasy barrel, that is what you do. Opportunity is knocking for these unknowns, and your fantasy team needs to open the door for them. Many championships have been built on lesser talent.
