You could be right but we are now into his 6th season, fantasy footballers been saying hes underused for years, NFL teams have continued to underuse him for years, there comes a point where you need to ask is he actually underused? or are the NFL coaches correct not the fantasy footballers?

I would loosely use the term "football coach" with Hue Jackson and Bill O'Brien. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solid, but meh. His rushing line was inflated because he broke a 31 yarder at the very end of the game at the end of the clock. I tend to say hey, that's great! he can bust a 31 yarder, though He's like Lamar Miller when he was in Houston IMO. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even down to getting fewer than 5 targets per game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remember that BOB started Tom Savage over Watson after having seen both in practice every day for months. Hugh Jackson...where to begin 🙄 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kmoore1521 1,433 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Duke 4 Carries and 2 Targets so as usual.............nothing to see with Duke Johnson DJ = Volume based RB2/Flex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JJ1223 1,848 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 It's absolutely mind boggling that he doesn't have more catches. I don't really mind the low ground output because, let's be honest, he's on a pretty bad team. BUT he should be a LOCK for 4 recs/40 yards every week with potential for way more. I just don't get it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s honestly **** like this that gives me just enough of a belief that coaches aren’t all that smart actually. Always wondered how successful a madden/fantasy wiz would do calling real plays in the league. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Foppatosakic 184 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) I should've done my research prior to trading for this guy. Looks like he has a similar situation to Drake ironically withabove avgerage offense, TD dependent, high volume and low passing upside.

I had the exact same complaint when he was on the Cardinals. Made zero sense. But this is the second offense that has handled him this way leaving me wondering whether it is a coincidence of poor utilization or something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it has to do with Watson’s play style more than anything else. If you’re not getting dump offs and check downs you’re not going to get much. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FWIW, I’ve watched most of the Texans games. Several games he has been narrowly missed on targets downfield. One last week for a big TD and one vs the Ravens for a huge gain. His receiving numbers look quite a bit different if he connects on those. We’re seeing a steady floor and honestly, I think he looks good. Hopefully we get some ceiling games in the near future. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, it wasn't a surprise. I looked at him as flex type player not anything more than that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nn4mz 101 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I’m baffled how they don’t use this man in the passing game. That’s what made him really good in Arizona. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhomes55 41 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 This has to be one of the safest floors right now. 1 TD upside at least. You really can't beat it right now, especially with all of the RB injuries going around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE_MAGIC_MAN 726 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 just traded for DJ, saw the schedule was pretty rough during the beginning of the season and liked the matchups from here on out. Do you think more TDs will be coming? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JJ1223 1,848 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Horrible luck. This game should have been a real sweet spot for him. I hope he's okay and healthy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
