2022 Fantasy Outlook
Watson is a bit of a grinder for Old Dominion, churning out steady volume production on the ground but little in the way of big plays or big games. His 215 carries in 11 games last year propelled an average over just over 100 rushing yards per game despite a modest rushing average of 5.2 yards per carry. Watson would ideally provide a bit more explosiveness and touchdown production on the ground or/and more pass-catching production, but he already demonstrated a certain floor in 2021.
