BALLER MOVE: Target In Final Round In Deep Leagues

Current ADP: Undrafted

It was actually a toss-up for me in coming up with a deep sleeper wide receiver for Tampa Bay with Watson and teammate Scott Miller, but I ultimately settled on Watson as he's farther ahead right now and more likely to see meaningful snaps this season.

Watson seems to be the leader for the slot receiver job that was vacated when Adam Humphries went to Tennessee. Humphries had 600 or more receiving yards in each of his final three seasons with the Bucs, and last season he broke out as a viable PPR flex option, catching 76 passes for 816 yards and five scores.

I admittedly don't know a ton about Watson. In 12 games last year, he was targeted three times, catching one pass for five yards. He never played more than 15 percent of Tampa Bay's offensive snaps in a game.

But playing time in an offense that should rely heavily on the passing game is a fantasy-relevant skill, and Watson also has some encouraging workout metrics to go along with that playing time. He has an 87th percentile speed score and 88th percentile burst score. Oh, and he has a 92nd percentile catch radius.

Watson had three consecutive 1000-yard seasons at Penn, and in his final year, he hauled in 14 touchdowns. It's difficult to know how that translates to the NFL since he was playing against FCS competition, but there's a lot of encouraging signs that he should perform well if pressed into a larger role.
