Going as the WR29, 65th overall, one analyst has him as high as WR20 and would consider him as early as round four. Over the back half of last season, he finished as a top-21 receiver in fantasy points per game even with two now-departed teammates still active at the time.

Watson's elite per-route efficiency with expanded role supports WR20 vs. WR29 ADP.

Going as the WR29, 65th overall, one the source has him as high as WR20 and would consider him as early as round four. Over the back half of last season, he finished as a top-21 receiver in fantasy points per game even with two now-departed teammates still active at the time. His route share last year ranked outside the top 50 among qualifying receivers, real room to grow now that the receiver room has thinned and he's expected to stay on the field even in single-receiver personnel groupings. His per-route efficiency has already been elite, ranking top 10 in multiple advanced metrics, and the team's offense remains efficient overall even with modest pass volume given how well its starting quarterback plays. When healthy last year, he was producing at roughly a 1,000-yard, 10-touchdown full-season pace.
