Justin Watson: Justin Watson Carving Out Sizable Role

One week after Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson came out of nowhere for 11 targets, he took a tumble with just three in Week 12's 31-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Watson's snap and route rates have stabilized around the 60% range in each of the last three outings, while Marquez Valdes-Scantling's steady descent in routes run imply that the situational deep threat's sheer lack of productivity is finally phasing him out of K.C.'s offense. The same can be said for Skyy Moore, who continues to eat up considerable snaps by default without much production to show for it. It gives Watson another chance to entrench himself as the Chiefs' No. 3 receiver in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers behind Rashee Rice and, of course, go-to target Travis Kelce. Watson's 18.7 average yards of target distance trail only Jaylin Hyatt in this area, and his 16.6 yards per catch rank fifth among WRs, making him worth a WR4/5 dart throw on Sunday night.
