Fantasy Impact:

J.J. Watt is in jeopardy of missing the start of the regular season due to his recent back surgery and rumored recovery time that could take up to 10 weeks. The uber durable Watt has never missed a game in his five-year NFL career and would be a tremendous loss to Houston's defense even if he was out for a short period of time. The decorated pass rusher's presence alone makes Houston's D/ST a solid starter week in and week out in the upcoming fantasy football campaign.
