Records first reception of season
Watson secured his only target for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 55-40 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Watson saw some extended action on offense due to the early exit of Breshad Perriman with a hamstring injury. The 24-year-old's one reception was his first of the campaign, and he could be in line for No. 3 receiver work in Week 5 against the Saints if Perriman remains sidelined for that contest.

Snaps from scrimmage limited
Watson was not targeted in the Buccaneers' 20-14 win over the Panthers on Thursday and played just two snaps from scrimmage during the contest.
Analysis: Watson has now played all of three snaps on offense over the first two games, as coach Bruce Arians has kept his pass-catching rotation relatively tight. The second-year wideout has been logging plenty of time on coverage and return units, however, as he's played a total of 34 special teams snaps in the first pair of contests. While the top wideout duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin is fully entrenched in the top two roles, the early struggles of Breshad Perriman (two receptions on nine targets…read more

Two more catches in preseason win
Watson brought in both of his targets for 21 yards in the Buccaneers' 13-12 preseason win over the Browns on Friday.
Analysis: Watson maximized his modest amount of opportunity, logging a pair of receptions for the second straight preseason game. The second-year wideout has eight catches overall across his first three exhibitions, a solid tally that still leaves him in the midst of a battle for the No. 4 receiver role with Bobo Wilson heading into Thursday's preseason finale versus the Cowboys.

Pair of grabs in second exhibition
Watson brought in two of six targets for 22 yards in the Buccaneers' 16-14 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday.
Analysis: Watson gained 23 yards on one reception before losing a yard on the second grab. The second-year wideout saw fellow competitor for the No. 4 receiver job, Bobo Wilson, put together a more productive 2-48-0 receiving line, so the job battle remains very much alive. Watson will look to make a stronger case in next week's exhibition against the Browns.

Solid showing in preseason opener
Watson brought in four of seven targets for 37 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-28 preseason loss to the Steelers on Friday.
Analysis: Watson was solid in his first opportunity to make a case for the No. 4 receiver role this preseason. The second-year wideout needs to continue making good on his chances, as Bobo Wilson, a primary competitor for that slotting on the depth chart, is also a talented returner and carried over some of his training camp success at receiver into Friday's game.

Preparing for diversified role
Watson is splitting reps at outside receiver and in the slot "down the middle" during early camp practices and has received praise from coach Bruce Arians for his flexibility in adapting to the needs of both positions, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The second-year wideout is battling to secure the No. 4 receiver role this summer, with his primary competition likely to come from the speedy Bobo Wilson. Watson has been focused on both playing with more speed than he did during his limited opportunities in his rookie 2018 season and on refining his blocking, with the latter a vital part of any slot work he might be asked to carry out. With a total of 179 targets from last season having left town in the form of Adam Humphries (free agency)…read more

Getting slot reps
Watson took frequent slot reps during spring practices, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: New coach Bruce Arians previously discussed using Chris Godwin in the slot, which likely would leave Mike Evans (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman as the outside receivers in three-wide formations. Of course, Perriman's role in the offense is no sure thing, so the Bucs may pivot to a different plan if Watson or Scott Miller outplays the 2015 first-round pick this summer. Watson was a fifth-round selection in 2018, lifted by an impressive showing at his pro day -- 4.44 40, 124-inch broad jump --…read more

Suddenly has path to playing time
Watson is part of a remade Buccaneers receiving corps that lost DeSean Jackson and Adam Humphries but added Breshad Perriman, Carmen Vitali of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Buried on the depth chart throughout his rookie season, Watson now figures to compete with Perriman for the No. 3 receiver job, though the outlook could change if Tampa Bay adds a splashy signing or draft pick to its wideout group. The 2018 fifth-round pick was dominant at the FCS level and displayed first-rate athleticism at his pro day, but he played just 73 snaps on offense (one reception) and 194 on special teams as a rookie. New coach Bruce Arians presumably intends for most of the targets…read more

Modest rookie campaign
Watson failed to bring in his only target during the Buccaneers' 34-32 loss to the Falcons on Sunday and finished the 2018 season with one reception (three targets) for five yards across 12 games.
Analysis: The 2018 fifth-round pick put together an impressive college resume at Penn but he saw minimal opportunity to prove himself at the NFL level during his rookie campaign. Watson was a healthy scratch for the first three games of the season before seeing single-digit snaps from scrimmage in all but one of the Bucs' final 13 contests. The 23-year-old should bump up at least one slot on the depth chart this offseason upon DeSean Jackson's likely release, and an exit by Adam Humphries via…read more
