Yahoo Sports NFL on Xavier Hutchinson

Hutchinson solid depth option but faces Watson competition; contract depends on consistency.

Hutchinson has proven to be a capable rotational receiver who can block and contribute on special teams. He's employed between the numbers to gain tough yardage on slant and dig routes per PFF's reception depth chart. His two touchdown day against Baltimore helped solidify him in the offense as a great option in spread offense packages with four or five receivers. However, he faces challenges to his role and potentially his roster spot as veteran Justin Watson could shake up the competition. If Hutchinson can win the spot and produce another consistent season, he should earn a team-friendly contract to stay as a depth piece.
