Justin Watson Fantasy

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Justin Watson saw six targets in a win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Watson only managed 40 receiving yards, but the opportunity was there for him and Tom Brady didn't shy away from him. That's a good sign ahead of Week 5, as Tampa Bay could be without as many as three of their starting pass-catchers against the Bears. That could vault Watson into flex consideration.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Justin Watson (shoulder) was a full participant at Friday's practice and won't carry an injury designation into a matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. There are a lot of targets potentially on the table with Chris Godwin (hamstring) out and Scotty Miller (hip, groin) questionable. Even if Miller plays, Watson will likely be looking at a bigger role. The 25-year-old played 89 percent of the snaps in Week 2 without Godwin, so it's clear that the team trusts him as a fill-in option. However, he's a bit harder to trust for fantasy purposes, considering he has just 218 receiving yards in 30 career games.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Justin Watson had five catches (10 targets) for 43 yards and a touchdown on Saturday during the loss to the Texans. Watson received plenty of looks from Jameis Winston on a day where the Bucs were without Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (hamstring). He has now seen 20 targets over his last three games and has scored in two outings during that span. With Evans on injured reserve, and Godwin unlikely to play for the rest of the year, look for the 24-year-old to have the potential to keep it going against the Falcons in Week 17.
