Justin Watson

Justin Watson (calf/Achilles) was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday, knocking him out for the next four games at least.

Fantasy Impact

Watson will land on injured reserve because of a calf/Achilles issue that he's dealing with. That means that he will be sidelined for the next four weeks at least, and his absence could possibly extend beyond that. His involvement in the first two weeks was minimal, but his absence may still lead to more reps for Jaylin Noel moving forward.

The Texans agreed to terms with WR Justin Watson.

Fantasy Impact

Watson is likely to hold a similar role in Houston that he held with the Chiefs over the past several seasons. He is likely to remain off the fantasy radar.

Justin Watson caught both of his targets for 60 yards and one touchdown in the Chiefs' 29-10 Week 17 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact

Watson has not been an impactful option in the Kansas City offense, finishing with more 40 receiving yards for the first time this season Wednesday. The pass-catcher could see increased involvement if Kansas City rests their starters with the No. 1 seed in the AFC already clinched ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Denver Broncos.

Justin Watson failed to catch his only target in the Chiefs' 27-19 win over the Texans in Week 16.

Fantasy Impact

Watson has not been very active in the Kansas City offense of late, finishing with two targets or less in four of his last five games. The wideout can remain off rosters in all formats ahead of a Week 17 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day.

Justin Watson failed to catch his only target in the Chiefs' 21-7 win over the Browns in Week 15.

Fantasy Impact

Watson continues to see minimal involvement in the Kansas City offense, finishing with less than three targets in five of his last six games. The wideout should not be trusted in lineups ahead of a Week 16 matchup with the Houston Texans.
