2025 Fantasy Outlook
A rookie third-round pick, Watts has great instincts and was a two-time All-American at Notre Dame. However, he didn't test well at the combine and isn't expected to be a top athlete at the pro level, so he'll face some obstacles in his development. The Falcons replaced Justin Simmons with Jordan Fuller this offseason, and Jessie Bates returns to lead the safety unit, leaving Watts to compete with DeMarcco Hellams for a top backup role.

Signed a four-year, $6.19 million contract with the Falcons in May of 2025.
Racks up nine tackles Sunday
Watts recorded nine tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 20-10 loss at San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
The 49ers created plenty of tackling opportunities by running the ball 39 times in Week 7, and Watts seized his share of stops, tying his season-high total. He might not get quite so many chances when Atlanta hosts a pass-heavy Dolphins offense in Week 8.
