From the article

Watson in very short time and with even less production wedged himself onto this roster as an integral part of the system. His blocking and route running are highly valued assets by Offensive Coordinator Nick Caley. Plus, the injury to Jaylin Noel opened up more reps for the veteran. Depending on Noel's timeline, Watson has the inside track to not only make the roster but start as the WR3.

Watson has inside track to WR3 role with Noel sidelined; valued for blocking.

Wide receiver has quickly established himself as integral to the Texans offense despite minimal production; his blocking and route-running are highly valued by Offensive Coordinator Nick Caley. Injury to Jaylin Noel has opened additional reps, giving Watson the inside track to make the roster and start as WR3 depending on Noel's recovery timeline.
