Blake Watson

Undrafted RB Blake Watson made the Broncos 53-man roster.

Fantasy Impact

The undrafted free agent won the position battle over Tyler Badie. He will hold a depth role in the Broncos running back room.

Blake Watson carried the ball 11 times for 38 yards in Sunday's 38-12 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

The Broncos picked up a quality preseason win over the Cardinals on Sunday, and Watson did his fair share in helping with that. He led the team with 38 rushing yards, but his efficiency was bad at just 3.5 yards per carry. He likely isn't going to make Denver's roster and is irrelevant in most fantasy leagues.

Blake Watson rushed for 20 yards on six carries in the Broncos’ 27-2 win over the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Watson was signed as a UDFA after the draft and is looking to carve out a spot in a deep running back room. He is likely playing for a spot on another team or the Denver practice squad.

Undrafted rookie RB Blake Watson has passed his physical and is off the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list.

Fantasy Impact

Watson was a talented, versatile RB in college and has the chance to find a real role in the NFL. His role would likely overlap with veteran RB Samaje Perine's, though, and he is also competing with RBs Javonte Williams, Audric Estimé and Jaleel McLaughlin for RB snaps. His reps in training camp will be vital for reaching the 53-man roster.

Denver Broncos RB Blake Watson should be returning to practice soon, says head coach Sean Payton. Watson has been dealing with a tweaked leg muscle.

Fantasy Impact

Watson went undrafted in 2024 after tallying 1632 yards and 17 touchdowns on 245 total touches last season for Memphis, and before getting signed by Denver to a 3-year deal with $275,000 guaranteed. He will likely remain off the fantasy radar for the near future, barring any injuries to other Broncos runningbacks.
