Justin Watson Status

Justin Watson (illness) not listed on Kansas City's Super Bowl injury report

What it means:

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson (illness) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report. After sitting out the AFC Championship with an illness, Watson is expected to return on Sunday. In a matchup against a Philly defense allowing wideouts to haul in 11.1 receptions per game this regular season, Watson's FanDuel salary stands at $5,500. On 295 receiving snaps this regular season, Watson accounted for 15 receptions for 315 yards and 2 touchdowns and 1.07 yards per route run.
rotoWire
Watson (illness) was listed as a full participant on the Chiefs' estimated injury report Wednesday.

What it means:

Watson was inactive for the AFC Championship Game against the Bengals due to an illness that surfaced late in the week, but he appears to have cleared the aliment and should be full go for Kansas City's Super Bowl prep. The fifth-year wideout played 37 snaps during the Chiefs' divisional-round win over the Jaguars and secured his lone target for 12 yards. He also appeared in all 17 of Kansas City's regular-season contests, totaling 15 receptions on 34 targets for 315 yards and two scores.
numberFire
Justin Watson (illness) won't play for Chiefs in AFC Championship Game

What it means:

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson will not play Sunday in the AFC Championship Game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Watson is dealing with a non-COVID illness. As a result, he has been ruled out for the AFC title game with the Super Bowl on the line. In 5 games this season, Watson has 15 catches on 34 targets for 315 yards and 2 touchdowns.
rotoWire
Watson (illness) is inactive for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bengals.

What it means:

Watson caught his lone target for 12 yards across 37 offensive snaps during the Chiefs' divisional-round win over the Jaguars, but he won't be able to play Sunday due to an illness that surfaced late in the week. In his absence, Skyy Moore will be a candidate for increased snaps behind JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney and Mecole Hardman.
rotoWire
Watson (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bengals after not practicing Friday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

What it means:

Watson's status will thus be worth monitoring as Sunday's 6:30 ET kickoff approaches, but on the heels of recording a 15-315-2 stat line on 34 targets in 17 games this past season, the wideout is only a fantasy option in deeper formats.

Justin Watson (illness) listed as questionable on Kansas City's AFC Championship injury report

What it means:

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson (illness) is questionable to play in Sunday's Conference Championship contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. Watson's availability is suddenly in limbo after Kansas City's wideout was unable to participate in Friday's practice. In a matchup versus a Cincinnati defense giving up 26.8 FanDuel points per game to receivers during the regular season, Kadarius Toney could see an increase in playing time if Watson is ruled out. Watson's AFC Championship FanDuel salary stands at $4,600.
