Sharp take

Sharp SixNo action

Watson is rostered in 0% of Main Events, so this is a non-event for your roster. He put up 22.3 and 15.4 in his last two weeks, which is streamer-adjacent at best, and a 42.5 total with Cleveland getting three points is not the spot you break glass for. Protocol timelines are unknowable, so treat him as unavailable. If you were somehow considering him as a bye-week patch, consider something else.
