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. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $6.19 million contract with the Falcons in May of 2025.
