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.

Picks off pass in Week 12 win
Watts finished Sunday's 24-10 victory versus New Orleans with six tackles (five solo) and an interception.
ANALYSIS
Watts briefly exited due to an apparent injury early in the fourth quarter but was able to return in short order. The rookie safety then put a ribbon on the victory with an interception in the final seconds of the contest. Watts is up to three pickoffs on the campaign, tops among NFL rookies.
