Interesting you take Watson over Wilson after just a few games but Hunt can't possibly be in the RB top tier after the same amount of time.
OP didn't specify keeper parameters so assuming full on dynasty, I don't have Hunt very close to Zeke and Wilson/Watson doesn't come near closing that gap. But for a contender I could see Hunt's immediate availability plus Zeke's suspension and Wilson's immediate contribution be worth the hit to make a run at the trophy.
We can all agree, I hope, that the QB position is harder to excel in early in a career than the RB position. And even with a that, the comparison between Watson and Hunt isn’t close. Watson started slightly slow, but really picked it up after a couple games. Hunt started fast and dropped off bigly.
Watson QB rankings each week as a starter:
14, 15, 1, 1, 2, 2
Hunt RB rankings each week as a starter:
1, 3, 5, 17, 14, 15, 10, 25, 24
I think Watson is a legit dual-threat QB with really good weapons, and is a top 5 dynasty QB. I think Hunt is a very good RB, but not elite, and I wouldn’t even consider trading DJ, Bell, Zeke, or Gurley for him.
Just a difference of opinion, but me liking Watson as a top QB and not liking Hunt as a top RB are totally different situations.
I can somewhat agree with your second paragraph.
