Watson's role expanded beyond deep threat; now getting in-breaking routes and motion work.

Christian Watson's role has been completely changed; his average depth of route is way down from historical levels, with him in motion and lining up all over the field. Despite still maintaining a deep average depth of target, his route tree shows he's doing many other things—getting in-breaking routes, motion to protect from coverage, and opportunities to work after the catch, similar to Mike Evans' recent usage.
