Who Should I Start? Justin Watson or Isaac TeSlaa

Wednesday, September 17, 12:29 PM

The Houston Texans placed wide receiver Justin Watson (Achilles, calf) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to the team's official website. Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports is reporting that Watson is dealing with an Achilles/calf injury, but it's not a tear, so he could potentially return later this season. The good news for Houston is that both receivers Christian Kirk (hamstring) and Braxton Berrios (hamstring) are expected to play in Week 3 against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. For now, the 29-year-old Watson will have to miss at least the next four games. Watson wasn't on the fantasy radar anywhere to begin with, even with Kirk and Berrios missing the first two weeks of the season. Watson had three catches on four targets for 30 yards in the first two contests of 2025 before getting injured.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa only has two catches so far this season, but both have been truly highlight-reel grabs. After a one-handed touchdown catch in Week 1, TeSlaa's latest one-handed grab in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears went for 29 yards and set the Lions up in a goal-to-go situation. After playing just three snaps in the season opener, TeSlaa was on the field for 17 snaps in Week 2. He still has a long way to go before his production reaches fantasy relevance, but TeSlaa is trending in the right direction. The 23-year-old could be a player to stash for deep-league fantasy managers.
