    Absolutely not, and the reasons (injury, fatigue) should be obvious.

    I don't play fantasy football, but if Watt scores an offensive touchdown how are his points recorded since he is on defense?

    I think it would only count in leagues with individual defensive players.

    If you have the Texans defense, I don't think it counts since the defense didn't score.

    Watt may become available as a TE in some leagues.

    In goal line formation he should get plays at TE and FB. He would be a devastating blocker clearing the hole and also a matchup nightmare when he slips out into a pass pattern. I might even play in at G where you could have him pull and lead block on a sweep. He could crush a DB.

    Maybe as the deep safety on Hail Mary defense too. He has amazing hops, takes up a lot of room, and has the strength to pull down a jump ball.

    Throw him a few more passes as a red zone TE, then in a game that matters use him to distract the defense from foster.

    He's also amazing at rushing the passer, so there's always that...

    I'm not saying watt should be a huge part of the offense I'm just saying a few plays here and there. My point is come playoff time it's all or nothing and if he can contribute either taking pressure off others or being the main target I don't see why not. I would love to see him getting some good offense time in the playoffs. Very talented player.

    Goal line run. Pass the ball to Watts, he bulldozes through, he scores! The other team dont know Watt hit them.

    Watt is wrong with you people. JJ will never play an offensive play unless it is on goal line situation.
