Headed to Houston Watson is in line to sign with the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Watson is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he caught 22 passes (on 32 targets) for 289 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games with the Chiefs. The looming addition of the 28-year-old is slated to boost a Houston wideout corps that is currently led by Nico Collins along with trade acquisition Christian Kirk, while Stefon Diggs (knee) is a pending free agent and Tank Dell (knee) is a candidate to miss much, if not all, of the 2025 season.

Another decent season in KC Watson claimed 22 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns on 32 targetsover 17 games during the 2024 regular season.
Impact While Watson hasn't tallied more than 27 catches in a season, he's still found regular playing time during his three campaigns with the Chiefs, likely due to his abilities as a blocker in the running game. Watson's two-year deal with the Chiefs expires after 2024, so he'll enter the offseason looking for a home for 2025 in his age 29 campaign. It's unlikely he'll find his way into fantasy relevance in future campaigns, but the veteran should claim a depth role somewhere again this offseason.

Three targets in Week 18 Watson recorded one reception on three targets for five yards in Sundahy's 38-0 loss to the Broncos.
Impact The Chiefs rested the majority of their top skill-position players and Watson also drew limited snaps with his lone catch coming late in the second quarter. Watson ends the regular season with 22 receptions on 32 targets, the latter his lowest mark since 2021. He should retain a peripheral role in the offense throughout its postseason run.

Follows up long grab with TD Watson caught both of his targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Wednesday's 29-10 win over the Steelers.
Impact All of Watson's production came on Kansas City's second possession, as he made a field-flipping 49-yard reception and secured an 11-yard touchdown three plays later. Watson sees limited usage in a Chiefs receiving corps that has added depth through trades and players returning from injuries, but when Watson gets targeted, it's often on deep shots.

Blanked in Week 14 Watson was not targeted during Sunday's 19-17 victory over the Chargers.
Impact Watson plays a consistent role for the Chiefs on offense, accumulating a snap percentage in the high 40s or better. That said, he has seen a marked drop from 58-plus percent from Weeks 4 to 12 down to just 48 and 49 percent in the last two games, and the 28-year-old wideout has proven time and again he's not much of a fantasy threat, tallying no more than three receptions in a game this season. Watson can safely be left in free agency in most league formats.

Won't play Saturday Watson reeled in one of three targets for six yards and a touchdown during Friday's 19-17 win versus the Raiders.
Impact Watson found pay dirt for the first time this season, marking his sixth total touchdown in three seasons with the Chiefs. The grab also represented his only reception on the day, and his three targets marked just the fourth time this season he has tallied more than two. Watson should continue to log regular snaps but doesn't supply much fantasy value unless he finds the end zone on a given week.

Another dud in Week 12 Watson tallied one reception (on two targets) for 15 yards during Sunday's 30-27 victory versus Carolina.
Impact There likely aren't many fantasy managers utilizing Watson on their squads, and for good reason. Despite sporting the heaviest snap share among wideouts on the team (64 percent), Watson has just 18 catches for 218 yards and no touchdowns to his name. He's turned in no more than three catches in a game all season and hasn't tallied more than two in any of the last three weeks. Unless he finds pay dirt, a feat he has yet to accomplish, Watson's weekly fantasy upside remains minimal.
