Justin Watson Fantasy

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Justin Watson launched himself into fantasy relevance Sunday making five catches for 59 yards and a touchdown. Watson, who had just one catch coming into the game, played 43 snaps after starting receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) left with an injury. Head coach Bruce Arians said he's be shocked if Evans played in Week 15 so expect Watson to play in three-wide receiver sets which should get him on the field plenty for the pass-happy Bucs. Watson's eight targets Sunday were second on the team to Chris Godwin so Watson has some fantasy appeal in deeper leagues, but is too untested to trust in 10 or 12 team leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Justin Watson caught five of eight targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Bucs 38-35 win over the Colts on Sunday. The second-year wideout was immediately thrown into the mix after Mike Evans(hamstring) limped off the field early in the game. He took serious advantage of his opportunities and looked like a grizzled veteran by the game's end. Quarterback Jameis Winston had no issues sending him eight targets throughout the game. Watson should be grabbed off the waiver wire and could be started as desperation flex play for Week 15 against the reeling Lions Defense.
