Justin Watson Fantasy

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Mecole Hardman (ankle) and Justin Watson (shoulder) both picked up injuries in Thursday night's 27-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Hardman caught three of his four targets for 49 yards, while Watson caught both of his targets for 50 yards and his first touchdown since 2019. Hardman had his left ankle taped during the game and was seen limping in the second half, but he finished the game. The 24-year-old was tied for the second-most targets behind only tight end Travis Kelce. It's unclear when Watson picked up his shoulder injury. The good news for both players is that they'll have extra time to heal up before their Week 3 contest on Sept. 25 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson caught a 41-yard touchdown in Thursday's 27-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Overall, Watson caught two passes for 50 yards. Those were his only two targets. The Chiefs were spreading the ball around a lot on Thursday, so don't expect Watson's usage to mean too much in the grand scheme of things. He's intriguing in fantasy, but not intriguing enough to pick up off the waiver wire yet.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson exited the team's Week 1 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals with a chest injury. Watson saw one target before being carted off late in the game. The severity of the injury is currently unknown, but the Chiefs have a short week before facing off against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night. Watson impressed in the preseason but isn't expected to make a fantasy impact in a Chiefs offense loaded with receiving options. Still, his availability will be worth monitoring as we could see more opportunities for Skyy Moore if Watson misses Week 2.
