Quick answer

Buy

Watson caught 35 passes for 611 yards in 2025, finishing WR42. He scored 20% more than his touches said he should. The last two seasons moved from WR71 to WR42 — that's the dynasty read. 2025 stopped at 10 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
