NFL Nation reporters answer the biggest fantasy questions posed by ESPN fantasy football analyst Mike Clay. Answers were submitted before Thursdays games.?AFC East | AFC North | AFC South | AFC West NFC East | NFC North | NFC South | NFC WestAFC EASTBuffalo BillsAssuming he returns in the next week or two, do you expect a significant impact from Sammy Watkins down the stretch?I think any expectation from Watkins is risky, given his history. Even when healthy, Watkins has been a hot-or-cold player whom defenses can shut down by rolling coverage. Watkins said Wednesday that he doesnt yet feel normal on the practice field, so Id temper expectations until hes actually playing and can test his foot over 60 minutes of full-speed action. -- Mike RodakMiami DolphinsFollowing a pair of big games, is second-year receiver DeVante Parker finally in the midst of a breakout?I have been in wait-and-see mode with Parker all season, but now is as good as Ive felt about him all season. Its never been a question of talent for Parker. Ive seen him dominate in practices and training camp. Its more about health and consistency, and it appears Parker is finally turning the corner with both. Parker said hes nearly all the way back from his nagging hamstring injury, and that showed on the field the past two games. -- James WalkerNew England PatriotsWill Malcolm Mitchells breakout Week 11 lead to a larger role, or will he settle back in behind Chris Hogan?Hogans return will slice into some of Mitchells playing time (season high 65 snaps vs. the 49ers), as Mitchell simply wont play as much as he did Sunday. Prior to Hogans injury, Mitchell had been playing mostly in the three-receiver package, but perhaps now he will see some time in two-wide receiver sets as well. The end result will likely be that the difference between the two becomes less extreme than it was prior to Mitchells breakout day. -- Mike Reiss Cheap Sneakers NZ Free Shipping Discount Sneakers NZ Store .
