Quez Watkins Player Overview
Watkins was selected in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL draft out of Southern Mississippi.
At Southern Mississippi, Watkins was a standout receiver, setting school records for most receiving yards in a single season and most 100-yard receiving games in a career. His impressive college performance caught the attention of NFL scouts, leading to his selection by the Eagles.
In his rookie season with the Eagles, Watkins saw limited playing time, but still managed to make an impact on the field, recording 10 receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown. He also made headlines for his speed, clocking a 4.35-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.
In three NFL seasons, Watkins has 83 receptions for 1,107 yards and five touchdowns across 40 games. He caught 10 fewer passes this season than he did a year ago despite playing the same amount of games. That said, he did have two more receiving touchdowns in 2022 than in 2021.

Quez Watkins Super Bowl LVII Prop Predictions
I’m staying away from the touchdown prop but I do like Watkins to go over in both receiving yards and receptions, respectively.
In his 19 games this season (17 regular season games, plus two postseason games), Watkins went over 12.5 receiving yards 12 times for an average of 24.89 yards per game. When the Eagles were favored, he averaged 20.94 receiving yards per contest and when facing an opponent with a winning record, he cashed the over in seven of those 10 occurrences for an average of 27.70 YPG.
As for receptions, he averaged 2.11 per game over his 19 contests, cashing the over 12 times in the process. He also went over in 10 of the 16 games the Eagles were favored and in six of their 10 games against opponents with winning records.
