Who Should I Start? Zay Jones or Justin Watson

Wednesday, November 12, 12:40 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones (Achilles) tore his Achilles in last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday and will miss the rest of the season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Additionally, the Cardinals will be without top wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. "this week and possibly longer" after he underwent surgery for appendicitis. Arizona's receiving corps will be very thin for quarterback Jacoby Brissett on Sunday against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Tight end Trey McBride should be a target hog, with Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch stepping up as the top two receiving options in the passing attack. Jones, 30, wasn't really on the fantasy radar to begin with in 2025 in a struggling Cardinals offense. He will finish with just 12 catches for 183 yards and no touchdowns in his eight games played.

The Houston Texans announced on Monday that they activated wide receiver Justin Watson (calf) from Injured Reserve. Watson will be eligible to play in the team's Week 18 regular-season finale this Sunday against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts, but it's unclear if he'll actually be active. The Texans activating the 29-year-old this week ensures that they'll have him available for their playoff run as additional receiving depth behind Nico Collins, rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, and slot man Christian Kirk. Watson had played in only two games with Houston before landing on IR, catching three of his four targets for 30 yards. The eight-year vet probably isn't going to be a huge part of the Texans' offense the rest of the way, barring an injury to a receiver ahead of him on the depth chart.
