Fantasy Analysis
Watson has been the team's primary backup point guard, this season, however they will need to find another option to fill that role now. The Jazz have not said how long he is expected to be out, but a similar injury has Knicks guard Jeremy Lin sidelined for six weeks, so it seems likely that Watson is done for the season. We will stay updated on his status, however Watson is only a low-end Fantasy option even when healthy. (Updated 04/09/2012).
