Chiefs' Justin Watson: Small impact versus Broncos
Justin Watson hauled in both of his targets for six yards during Sunday's 16-14 victory versus the Broncos.Watson remains a regular in the offensive game plan, logging a team-high 52 snaps at wide receiver. That said, he's not a significant target as a receiver, finishing with no more than three catches in a game this season. The veteran wideout should continue to see regular offensive snaps but doesn't serve much purpose from a fantasy perspective.

Chiefs' Justin Watson: Reels in three passes
Justin Watson caught three of four targets in Monday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Buccaneers.JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was inactive, meaning Watson served as the No. 3 wide receiver and recorded a 69 percent snap share.

Chiefs' Justin Watson: Collects trio of passes in Week 8
Justin Watson reeled in all three of his targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 27-20 victory versus the Raiders.Watson matched a season-high total with just three targets, racking up a season-best yardage output on the way to a season-best 76 percent snap share. While the workload remains high, Watson's total from Sunday being a season-best paints a clearer picture of his fantasy value every week. To put it plainly, he can be left on waiver wires in the vast majority of league formats.

Chiefs' Justin Watson: Another quiet effort in Week 7
Justin Watson reeled in his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers.Watson continues to log regular reps for the Kansas City Chiefs, claiming the largest snap share (73 percent) among wideouts Sunday. Despite that, he's rarely utilized as a pass-catcher, sporting just seven grabs through the first six games. The Chiefs are also, unsurprisingly, rumored to be shopping around for another wide receiver before the trade deadline, a move that would position Watson further down the pecking order. Watson should continue to see ample playing time for now, especially after JuJu Smith-Schuster departed Sunday's contest due to a hamstring aggravation.

Chiefs' Justin Watson: Blanked in Week 5
Justin Watson wasn't targeted during Monday's 26-13 win against the Saints.Watson still logged the most snaps (59) among Kansas City Chiefs wideouts Monday, but he's clearly not a go-to option as a receiver. JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman and Xavier Worthy all saw more targets despite playing fewer snaps. Watson hasn't reeled in more than two passes in a game today, so even if his playing time increases moving forward with Rashee Rice (knee) and Hollywood Brown (shoulder) both done for the regular season, the veteran wideout is unlikely to enter the fantasy realm in a meaningful way.

Chiefs' Justin Watson: Minimal impact versus Chargers
Justin Watson hauled in two of three targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 17-10 win versus the Chargers.The Kansas City Chiefs' carnage of injuries continued to pile up Saturday, when Rashee Rice (knee) was added to the list. Thus, Watson could be in line for additional snaps moving forward; he logged the second-most snaps during Sunday's game behind Xavier Worthy. Per Adam Teicher of ESPN, head coach Andy Reid plans to spread the ball around more in the absence of Rice, meaning Watson could see a few more looks. Even if that's the case, Watson has been in similar positions in years past, so it remains to be seen if the veteran wideout can provide any significant fantasy value.

Chiefs' Justin Watson: Claims one pass against Falcons
Justin Watson had one reception (on two targets) for 13 yards during Sunday's 22-17 win over Atlanta.Watson dropped to fourth in snap percentage among Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Sunday, and he's proven to be far from a regular fantasy contributor even with more regular playing time. At this point, there is little to like in Watson's fantasy profile, barring multiple injuries at wide receivers that would force him into a more significant role.

Chiefs' Justin Watson: Tallies pair of grabs in Week 2
Justin Watson hauled in both of his targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.Watson made the most of his limited opportunities and has reeled in each of the three passes thrown his way through two games. That said, he played less than half the offensive snaps (45 percent) in Sunday's contest and has just three targets through two games. As has been the case for Watson in recent seasons, the wideout seems slated to play a regular role that doesn't figure to amount to fantasy relevance in most league formats.

Chiefs' Justin Watson: Hauls in lone target Week 1
Justin Watson secured his only target for 25 yards during Thursday's 27-20 win over the Ravens.Watson played 52 percent of offensive snaps versus Baltimore in Week 1, working as the Kansas City Chiefs' clear No. 3 receiver behind Rashee Rice (78 percent) and Xavier Worthy (63 percent). That involvement will dip once starter Marquise Brown (shoulder) returns from injury, but if he remains sidelined Week 2 versus Cincinnati, Watson will have another opportunity to capitalize on an increased snap share.

Chiefs' Justin Watson: Could help fill in for Brown
Justin Watson could see more opportunities early on during the season while fellow wideout Marquise Brown tends to a shoulder injury, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.With Brown unable to practice and his availability for Week 1 unclear, Watson has been taking many of the snaps in training camp that would have otherwise gone to Brown. Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy would likely rank as greater priorities for targets if Brown's absence bleeds into the regular season, but Watson could be the top choice to join the two in three-receiver sets sans Brown. During the 2023 season, Watson suited up in 16 contests on his way to finishing with a 27-460-3 receiving line on 53 targets over 513 offensive snaps.
