Watkins has opted out and declared for the 2021 NFL Draft, Matt Zenitz of AL.com
ANALYSIS
UAB's game for this weekend is reportedly up in the air due to roster number challenges, and Watkins is among the players who won't be available following his decision to opt out. Watkins leaves UAB as one of the best receivers in program history, having caught 97 passes for 1,640 yards and nine touchdowns. At 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds with that level of production, Watkins is likely to be a mid-to-late round selection in the upcoming draft provided he tests well at the Combine.

2019 Fantasy Outlook
So what does a team do when five of its top six receivers all graduate? That's the question UAB is asking heading into 2019. Watkins was around last season, but he only had seven catches. That being said, he also impressed in spring practice, and could be the legitimate top receiving option for the Blazers this year. Even so, this is a run-first team, especially now that Tyler Johnston is under center. It seems unlikely any receiver is going to be able to break out for the Blazers, though Watkins should have more than seven catches.
