From the article

Watson's in a very similar spot to McLaurin: outside WR2 range, just outside of FLEX range, very boom-or-bust play. Unless your lineup feels in desperate need of a jolt, I'd rather play a more reliable option like Tony Pollard in my FLEX.

Watson is boom-or-bust with unreliable floor; fade for Week 1.

Watson is a boom-or-bust play with unreliable floor; the source estimates roughly one-in-three chance he hits a big play against Minnesota, but faces a Vikings defense that allowed the fewest fantasy points to wideouts last year. Even with new contract and Doubs/Wicks departures, the source won't trust Watson until seeing consistently meaningful volume. Positioned outside WR2 range, just outside FLEX range, making him a risky Week 1 fade.
