Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs Prediction
Justin Watson is a player that has flown under the radar this season for the Chiefs. This is Watson's fifth season in the NFL, and it is expected to be his best career year. Just nine games in, he is only 39 yards off his career season high. He joined the Chiefs last season and has been their best deep threat. Last season, he averaged 21 yards per completion, and this season, he leads the Chiefs with 19.7 yards per completion.
Watson is finally getting some more playing time with a thinner Chiefs receiving corps, and he has connected for some monster plays. He leads all Chiefs receivers with six big plays (20+ yards), yet he is the only receiver without a touchdown on the season.
Watson's snap share has also been increasing. Last game before the bye week, Watson played a season-high 63% of snaps. While his completion percentage isn't as high on his targets, his ADOT is higher than any other receiver, which explains why every target isn't a catch to him. However, Watson is hitting these big plays at least once a game now. He has a catch of 26+ yards in five of his eight games played this season. I think Mahomes is bound to hit him deep for a touchdown on one of these big plays. He's the last receiver without a touchdown, and with his usage increasing this season, his first feels inevitable. We're also getting a crazy high price on this one, paying out 30/1 for the first touchdown and 5.5/1 on an anytime touchdown.
