Watson returned from ACL tear and posted elite efficiency; WR15 in PPG.

Watson tore his ACL on January 5, 2025, but made his season debut on October 26, 2025, and 'balled out' upon return. In 2025, he posted elite efficiency metrics: 2.45 yards per route run (tied for 7th among 91 WRs with at least 250 routes), 17.3-yard average depth of target (3rd), 0.114 first downs per route run (9th), and 7 receiving touchdowns (tied for 13th). Josh Shepardson notes that 'Watson isn't a one-trick pony as a vertical weapon' and was already WR15 in half-PPR points per game (11.5) among those who played at least eight games in 2025.
