Buffalo Bills WR Sammy Watkins caught passes on 17.3% of the routes that he ran this season, which was the highest reception-to-routes-run rate for a Bills receiver since ESPN started tracking the statistic in 2007. Atlanta Falcons WR Julio Jones (22.6%) led receivers this season in the category. Watkins ranked 13th among qualifying receivers.

Buffalo Bills restricted free-agent WR Percy Harvin (hip, knee) still is undecided about his future. ‘Percy Harvin was supposed to be a big help for us and we’re still not sure what’s going on. He’s got to make some decisions here coming up. We need to get somebody opposite of Sammy to be a real threat to that defense,’ director of player personnel Jim Monos said. The final two years of Harvin’s three-year deal will void Feb. 12, or five days after the Super Bowl. He’ll count for $1 million in dead money against the 2016 salary cap and another $1 million against the 2017 cap. It’ unlikely that the Bills view re-signing Harvin as a priority at this point.
