The B-team midfielder was in the matchday squad for the League Cup tie against AFC Wimbledon. Brentford's first league match at home was a 7-goal thriller against Nottingham Forest.

Brentford next faced Bristol City at Griffin Park. Despite conceding an early Josh Brownhill goal, Brentford rallied in the second half and took the lead through Watkins and Maupay and would have been further in front had it not been for an inspired performance from opposing goalkeeper Frank Fielding. Eight minutes into added time due to an injury to Josh McEachran, Bobby Reid pounced and denied Brentford's first league win of the season.{{Cite news |date=15 August 2017 |title=Brentford 2 Bristol City 2 |work=Brentford F.C. |url=https://www.brentfordfc.com/news/2017/august/match-report-for-brentford-vs-bristol-city-on-15-aug-17/ |access-date=2 September 2017 |archive-date=20 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200720134757/https://www.brentfordfc.com/news/2017/august/match-report-for-brentford-vs-bristol-city-on-15-aug-17/ |url-status=dead }} The Bees' poor run of results continued at Ipswich Town where, despite a dominant first half, Martyn Waghorn and Joe Garner's goals sealed a 2–0 win for the home side, leaving Brentford bottom of the league table.{{Cite news |date=19 August 2017 |title=Match report Ipswich Town 2 Brentford 0 |work=Brentford F.C. |url=https://www.brentfordfc.com/news/2017/august/match-report-for-ipswich-town-vs-brentford-on-19-aug-17/ |access-date=2 September 2017 |archive-date=20 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200720111502/https://www.brentfordfc.com/news/2017/august/match-report-for-ipswich-town-vs-brentford-on-19-aug-17/ |url-status=dead }} In the second round of the League Cup, Brentford beat local rivals Queens Park Rangers 4–1 in a West London derby.

Despite completely dominating, Brentford could not break down the Derby defence and found themselves behind to Joe Ledley's debut goal for the Rams. It took 86 minutes for Watkins to find a deserved equaliser to grab a point for the Bees.{{Cite news |date=26 September 2017 |title=Brentford 1 Derby County 1 |work=Brentford F.C. |url=https://www.brentfordfc.com/news/2017/september/match-report-for-brentford-vs-derby-county-on-26-sep-17/ |access-date=5 October 2017 |archive-date=20 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200720111620/https://www.brentfordfc.com/news/2017/september/match-report-for-brentford-vs-derby-county-on-26-sep-17/ |url-status=dead }} Brentford picked up their sixth draw of the season against Middlesbrough.
