From the article

After finishing as the WR16 in fantasy points per game last year during his 10 outings, Watson took his game to yet another tier in Week 1 with six catches, 147 yards and two scores. While we can't expect him to be the second highest-scoring fantasy wideout every week, that's the kind of ceiling Watson offers thanks to his big-play ability — even against a tougher opponent like the Vikings. The degree of difficulty won't be nearly as challenging versus the Jets, who were barely tested by the Titans' passing attack last week. Watson is flirting with low-end WR1 status in this matchup.

Watson's 147-yard, 2-TD Week 1 and Jets' weak pass defense support low-end WR1 status.
