Watson finished a week among the top-five fantasy QBs at a 30% rate last season, and top-12 at a 70% rate, which means he hits his ceiling frequently. And if he gets a healthy Keke Coutee and Will Fuller for most of the season, Watson might even improve on his numbers from 2018.
Not to mention that his rushing stats suffered from Weeks 6-11, when he was banged up. Improved health could make him a serious QB1 threat.— Sean Koerner
