My guy thinks Watson will play.

Fantasy wise, he's done very little for weeks and will be playing in a blizzard or a mixed bag of snow, ice, and rain.

Ben Watson (questionable, ankle) was limited in practice Friday.

Watson is uncertain to face the Jets, and even if he does, would be a shaky play considering his recent struggles and the poor weather expected.

Watson tests ankle

By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff December 16, 2007 11:08 AM

TE Benjamin Watson just went through the paces, testing his injured left ankle in front of the team's medical/training staff. It appears he is a game-time decision today.

As workers removed part of the tarp on the field, they left just enough space for Watson to cut back and forth, and work on exploding out of a three-point stance. Watson was wearing gray sweatpants and a gray sweatshirt, with a hood covering his head as rain/sleet continues to fall.

Now it's just a matter of seeing if he felt good enough to play today.

I just heard back from my guy at the field that Watson truly will be a game time decision and they are openly discussing if he can/should play. Will keep everyone posted. Pats almost always have their inactives in an hour before game time.If I were to take a stab, I would guess that he will try to go but won't do much and may see limited action.

I love how they tell us what color sweats he's wearing.

I take back my appreciative comments ...I have Watson and a backup Eric Johnson...both out and no more roster moves

 

[Challenge Everything]

This sucks. Only backup was Vernon Davis...

Sorry bro . . . given Watson's mediocre numbers the last month I would have started VD regardless. Maybe the rest of your team will pick it up a notch with Watson out.
