Fantasy Impact

Watson played for Old Dominion and Memphis collegiately, starting as a wide receiver. He can serve as a productive pass-catching back with open-field elusiveness in the NFL and fight for a backup role in a backfield with Javonte Williams, Audric Estimé, Samaje Perine and Jaleel McLaughlin.
