ANALYSIS
Watson played 98 percent of the Chiefs' defensive snaps against Baltimore, but Lamar Jackson (hamstring) and Cooper Rush rarely threw in Watson's direction. The Chiefs' top outside cornerback, Watson has 23 tackles (13 solo) and three pass breakups, including one interception, across four games to begin the season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Despite his seventh-round status in the 2022 NFL Draft, Watson earned playing time as a rookie and has logged considerable action in each of his first two seasons. He and Joshua Williams performed well enough that the Chiefs allowed L'Jarius Sneed to head elsewhere (the Titans) in free agency, so the duo should log additional action in 2024. Per PFF, Watson graded out well as a tackler, a run defender and a pass rusher, evidenced by his 33 tackles (28 solo) and two sacks a season ago, and he's likely headed for a more pivotal role this season.
Watson recorded 49 total tackles, six passes defended and an interception for a touchdown as a rookie in 2022. The 24-year-old cornerback looks poised to handle a similar role as a rotational player in the Chiefs' defensive backfield.
