Fantasy Impact
Houston just locked up left tackle Laremy Tunsil so the focus now shifts to the team's franchise quarterback. Head coach/GM Bill O'Brien has done an impressive job of tearing apart his roster over the last calendar year but Watson is the one player he can't afford to lose. Werder adds that the team is hopeful to have a deal in place by the start of the season.
