J.J. Watt
DE - HOU
2017 Outlook
Expert Note
View More NotesWatt missed the vast majority of the 2016 season after undergoing season-ending back surgery in late September. He's had ample recovery time and said he feels "fantastic", so he should be fully recovered by the start of the regular season. The three-time defensive player of the year is well protected with Jadaveon Clowney playing very well on the opposite end of the line and he figures to have something to prove after being out of football for nearly a year. Watt is a solid bet to reclaim his position as fantasy's top IDP.

Houston Texans pass rusher J.J. Watt (back) told the media he feels "fantastic" at a charity softball game on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Watt only played in three games in 2016 due to an in-season surgery to repair a lingering back injury. Although he will miss OTAs, he has not suffered a setback this offseason and is fully on track in his recovery. Expect Watt, 28, to be ready for the start of training camp in late-July.
