• Texans' Justin Watson: Headed to Houston

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Watson is in line to sign with the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Watson is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he caught 22 passes (on 32 targets) for 289 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games with the Chiefs. The looming addition of the 28-year-old is slated to boost a Houston wideout corps that is currently led by Nico Collins along with trade acquisition Christian Kirk, while Stefon Diggs (knee) is a pending free agent and Tank Dell (knee) is a candidate to miss much, if not all, of the 2025 season.

• Chiefs' Justin Watson: Another decent season in KC

  02/13/2025 • By RotoWire

  Watson claimed 22 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns on 32 targets over 17 games during the 2024 regular season. While Watson hasn't tallied more than 27 catches in a season, he's still found regular playing time during his three campaigns with the Chiefs, likely due to his abilities as a blocker in the running game. His two-year deal with the Chiefs expires after 2024, so he'll enter the offseason looking for a home for 2025 in his age 29 campaign. It's unlikely he'll find his way into fantasy relevance in future campaigns, but the veteran should claim a depth role somewhere again this offseason.

• Chiefs' Justin Watson: Three targets in Week 18

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Watson recorded one reception on three targets for five yards in Sunday's 38-0 loss to the Broncos. The Chiefs rested the majority of their top skill-position players, and Watson also drew limited snaps, with his lone catch coming late in the second quarter. Watson ends the regular season with 22 receptions on 32 targets, the latter his lowest mark since 2021. He should retain a peripheral role in the offense throughout the Chiefs' postseason run.

• Chiefs' Justin Watson: Follows up long grab with TD

  12/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  Watson caught both of his targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Wednesday's 29-10 win over the Steelers. All of Watson's production came on Kansas City's second possession, as he made a field-flipping 49-yard reception and secured an 11-yard touchdown three plays later. Watson sees limited usage in a Chiefs receiving corps that has added depth through trades and players returning from injuries, but when Watson gets targeted, it's often on deep shots.

• Chiefs' Justin Watson: Blanked in Week 14

  Watson was not targeted during Sunday's 19-17 victory over the Chargers. Watson plays a consistent role for the Chiefs on offense, accumulating a snap percentage in the high 40s or better. That said, he has seen a marked drop from 58-plus percent from Weeks 4 to 12 down to just 48 and 49 percent in the last two games, and the 28-year-old wideout has proven time and again he's not much of a fantasy threat, tallying no more than three receptions in a game this season. Watson can safely be left in free agency in most league formats.
