Justin Watson Fantasy

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson has been working extra with Patrick Mahomes this offseason. Watson, along with fellow wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling, has been drilling with the signal-caller in Texas, just weeks before training camp is set to begin. The 26-year-old hasn't had a promising career since being drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2018, catching only 23 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns. He's also battled his fair share of injuries. Nonetheless, he'll have a fresh start in Kansas City. However, despite Watson's commitment to improving, he likely won't be a reliable fantasy producer, primarily with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman, Travis Kelce, Skyy Moore, and Valdes-Scantling looking for Mahomes' attention in 2022-23.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Justin Watson signed with the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday, according to a source. Watson's 2021 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was plagued by injury. The 25-year-old had surgery on his knee in July and wasn't activated until the end of December. In his lone game played in Week 16, Watson played only 19 special teams snaps and suffered a quadriceps injury that ended his season. A fifth-round pick in 2018, Watson has 23 catches on 40 targets for 258 yards and two touchdowns in his four NFL seasons, all with the Buccaneers. He'll serve as receiver depth in Kansas City and won't be on the fantasy radar heading into next season.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers activated wide receiver Justin Watson (knee) from the Physically Unable to Perform list and cornerback Rashard Robinson (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Friday. Watson has been out all year, but he was on the field for more than 50% of the team's kick and coverage plays on special teams in each of his first three seasons. Robinson had played 90 special teams snaps in five games before suffering a hamstring injury in practice in Week 9. Both Watson and Robinson will also provide much-needed depth at their respective positions. At receiver, Chris Godwin (knee) is out for the year and Mike Evans (hamstring) won't play in Week 16. Watson has 23 catches for 258 yards and two touchdowns in three seasons with Tampa and won't be on the fantasy radar, despite injuries at the position.
