[echo] 72 Posted October 2, 2019 I have Vernon Davis.. after Njoku went down.. its been horrible.. i grabbed Watson to be sneaky, maybe TB12 will want to toss to a TE.. plus AB is gone... grabbing at straws here.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Simms 11 127 Posted October 2, 2019 I have Eifert and Watson in one league. Eifert has a top TE matchup this week, hoping Watson can suck less than Cook has after that. Check out Herndon if he is still out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makindollaz 40 Posted October 2, 2019 Same boat. 14 team PPR league, with 25 roster spots. Waiver wire is pretty much non-existent. Drafted Reed, Davis & Watson. Hoping Watson at least can get me 6-8 points per week...I don’t need him to be Gronk in his prime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unclemercy 51 Posted October 2, 2019 i grabbed watson too because up until now ive been sneaking points out of cameron brate. brates biggest upside is the added trash i get to talk everytime he catches a pass lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted October 2, 2019 Watson played less than 50% of the snaps last year in New Orleans. He will be a part time fill-in here as well. He is coming off a 4 week vacation. More importantly, he was not spotted at the media portion of practice today when it would have been his first sighting since coming off suspension. I would also note that he is still not on the active roster and the Patriots are using a roster exemption for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is coming off a 4 week vacation. Maybe so, but New Orleans had (and still has) a credible option in Josh Hill. Matt LaCosse and Ryan Izzo aren't getting ANYTHING done for the Patriots (average of 1 reception per game between the 2 of them), so Watson is going to have some opportunities going forward.

weepaws 2,451 Posted October 2, 2019 Lol problem is the pats don’t have a te. Watson looks like he will fill that void just nicely. Hes not going to light it up, but he is worth a stash and start over a lot of uselsss te1 right now. Hockensen is now hurt,the owner of him might find mr Watson a very valuable asset.

weepaws 2,451 Posted October 7, 2019 Means that Watson no longer will be filling the void at te for the Patriots since we was released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zftcg 84 Posted October 8, 2019 Hijacking this thread a little (since Watson is no longer particularly relevant for fantasy): Where are people who were counting on him -- or have Waller on bye, or who are fed up with Howard -- turning for this week? Top options seem to be Herndon and Everett. Weird that Rams have never had a particularly TE-friendly offense under McVay, but Everett really seems to be coming on the past few weeks, probably concurrent with Higbee's injury.

Gepetto 977 Posted October 8, 2019 I have OJ Howard, Hockenson, and Ebron. I'm trying to add Gerald Everett and Chris Herndon. I'll be carrying 5 tight ends if I get them both. We have mandatory start 2 TEs though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plasma george 52 Posted October 8, 2019 Do we hold Watson ? I have J. Cook who scored his first TD (after I was ready to bench him)...., but I'm liking Everett who's on our WW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Simms 11 127 Posted October 8, 2019 I wouldn’t hold him. He just got released from the team which would have presented his best opportunity. Guess they did him a favor, to help him complete suspension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watson move was just a low-risk thing that didn’t pan out. AB move was uncharacteristically stupid and I said that before all the lawsuits started coming out. Dude was unhinged and had just shot himself out of Oakland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
