2. Justin Watson, WR, Houston Texans
Sticking with the topic of wideouts, former Chiefs playmaker Justin Watson is another one who could flop in 2025. After spending the last three seasons in Kansas City, the Bridgeville, PA native is heading to the Houston Texans on a two-year, $5 million contract.
Watson often played a supporting role during his time with the Chiefs. Fans thought he was ready to take his game to the next level, though, following a career performance in 2023 that saw him record personal bests in receptions (27), receiving yards (460), and touchdowns (3).
Much to the fanbase's dismay, Watson couldn't replicate that success in 2024. Despite suiting up one more time than he did in the previous season, the 28-year-old WR finished with fewer catches (22), yards (289), and TDs (2).
If that wasn't bad enough, he was also among Pro Football Focus' lowest-rated wideouts in terms of receiving (52.9, 120th) and overall offense (53.8, 125th).
Things are unlikely to get better now that Watson is with the Texans. Nico Collins, Christian Kirk, John Metchie III, and Xavier Hutchinson are likely all ahead of Watson on the depth chart already, and that's without mentioning how Houston also signed Braxton Berrios in free agency.
Unless he completely breaks out, there's a good chance that Watson will get lost in the shuffle. If that's the case, the Texans might look to cut ties by the next offseason.
