Injury Report
Ankle - Questionable for the start of 2008 training camp (Updated - 3/27/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Watson got off to a great start in 2007, catching 18 passes for 222 yards and five touchdowns in his first six games before being limited with a chest injury. He was limited the rest of the season and finished with 18 catches for 167 yards and one touchdown. It sure looks like we can put the "injury-prone" tag on Watson considering that he has yet to play 16 games in a regular season. He might be rusty early on in 2008, but once he's healthy he'll be a useful low-end No. 1 Fantasy TE since Tom Brady likes to hit the tight end as part of the offense. When we know more about Watson, who is now a late-round pick, we'll deliver the news. (Updated 03/27/2008).
