Gang Green Nation on Christian Watson

Watson's size, speed, and 81-yard TD make him a deep-threat weapon against Jets' depleted secondary.

Watson is one of the league's most prolific deep-threat wide receivers with the longest touchdown of the season (81 yards) in Week 1. Next Gen Stats recorded his top speed during that play at 21.09 MPH, the third-fastest speed of a ball carrier this season. His combination of size and speed makes him dangerous over the top of the defense, and he had at least one 40+ yard reception in Week 1. The Jets' secondary will be tested, especially with Minkah Fitzpatrick out due to groin injury and Andre Cisco and Dane Belton taking over safety duties.
