BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5/WR6
ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has a significant knee injury and will miss at least a few games. Does this mean other Chiefs receivers are worth picking up and starting? It doesn't. Justin Watson has been in the NFL for six full seasons now and has never finished higher than WR77 in PPR.
NFL teams would have figured it out by now if he was good. And the Chiefs passing offense isn't what it once was anyway. QB Patrick Mahomes cannot elevate bad receivers to being fantasy starting material anymore. Mahomes is significantly less prolific as a passer than he used to be.
Why is nobody talking about Justin Watson moving and jumping BACKWARDS instead of coming back to the ball on a COMEBACK route?? The DB beat him to the spot that Mahomes anticipates.
This is lazy route running from a vet.#ChiefsKingdom pic.twitter.com/tIsn8tWGf5

Watson is a liability. There's a reason the Chiefs drafted receivers with early round picks two seasons in a row -- Travis Kelce is aging and they want to take work off his shoulders, and they don't have good receivers. The injury to Rice is devastating for the offense. The targets will not find their way to Watson. Look elsewhere for startable wide receivers.
