What do you project his numbers to look like?

I wouldn't want to bet he gets 100. Nobody gets 100 against the Steelers.

OF COURSE you start him, with confidence. He is the starter who also will catch passes. Scored what - 2-3 times last week? C'mon, don't overanalyze this.
Right now I am starting him over Portis. Both Watson and Portis have tough matchups but I think Watson has the momentum.
Last week he blew up - I expect Cincy to run the ball a fair amount and probably throw it to him more than normal.
Prediction - 65-75 yards rushing, 30-50 yard recieving - so 9-12 points. If he scores then it is a great week.
As for Portis - I expect the Redskins to struggle to move the ball - maybe 50 yards and a 1TD.

I am thinking 21-73 and 6 catches for 48. 12 points unless he gets lucky and gets a TD.

Watson is the go to guy inside the 5, and I can see Cincy ending up there a few times. I'm thinking 20 carries for 88 yards and a TD. Plus, he'll catch about 5 balls for about 35 as well.
I'm not afraid to start him at all!!!

Elementary, my dear Watson.
I think Watson might do ok in what could be a shootout. He stands to catch some passes out of the backfield. I think there is a chance for 80 total yards and a score this week.Although, he is going against a tough Pittsburgh defense that could shut him down somewhat.How did Rudi do against them last season?Elementary, my dear Watson.

I like Watson.

Were it not for Reggie Bush playing the 49ers (he had 168 and 4 tds his last game against them) I'd probably be starting Kenny Watson against the fierce Steelers defense. I'm not scared just have a better option this week. Hopefully.

Gonna go with The Whale over him this week.
wel, can't be any worse than each time he's started Maroney so far.And you will not be happy....
Will Watson get the goal line touches?

No one else will. Unless they get pass happy in the redzone, Watson is really the only redzone choice.

Starting with semi-confidence. I heard an interview with Chad and he said that if teams arae going to continue to double both he and TJ, they will continue to feed Watson. So I think a reasonable projection is 15 carries and 3 or 4 receptions, which would be just fine with me.
Why only 15 touches? He had 30 plus last week.
Watson is an ok start.Rudi is out + this game could be a shootout.

I'd be happy with that for sure, but this is the Steelers we're talking about. I don't see the Bengals running nearly 70 offensive plays and going 7 for 10 on third down like they did against the Jets.
This may have been posted since I haven't read all the posts but the Steelers have only allowed 1 rushing td all season. With a good Pitts D combined with a porous Cincy offensive line I'm expecting a lot of Palmer sacks, thus forcing passing plays...eliminating Watson from the gameplan for the most part.
I have Watson and I'm sitting him in favor of Steven Jackson and Cedric Benson.

OK, let me get this straight. The guy had all of one good game in his entire career, last week, and is now matched up against maybe the best defense in football in 2007 without his all pro tackle and yet he is a safe start. I'm not buying it.
18 carries 53 yds 3 catches 21 yards 0 TDs
If he's available consider Deshawn Wynn instead.
That said, the Bungles have some tasty matchups come fantasy playoff time so if you can stash Watson, you should do so. Who knows what's up with Rudi for the rest of this year.

I'm quite sure most of us who are starting him have few options at this point. (SA, Rudi, Caddy owner here)
