C.J. Watson played 15 minutes vs. the Pacers, scoring 10 points with two steals and two 3-pointers.
Deron Williams suffered a knee injury and could miss some, if not all, of the rest of the games in the regular season. Watson can make some treys and is adept at steals, so he's worth a look as a strong speculative add. Apr 12 - 9:58 PM

C.J. Watson - G - Nets

C.J. Watson came off the bench for 12 points in 24 minutes vs. the Cavs, knocking down 4-of-4 shots from downtown.

He also grabbed two rebounds, handed out seven assists and stole the ball twice, a satisfying line for any owners who gambled on him in the expectation that he'd start at SG for Joe Johnson (heel).

C.J. Watson - G - Nets

C.J. Watson shot 8-of-13 from the field for 22 points with five boards, four assists, two steals and three 3-pointers against the Jazz on Saturday.

This outburst came out of nowhere and Watson scored just four points in each of his last two games. Joe Johnson doesn't appear to be out too much longer, so we'd leave Watson on the wire, especially since the Nets are off until Wednesday.

C.J. Watson - G - Nets

C.J. Watson (illness) played 22 minutes off the bench vs. Atlanta, scoring two points with four rebounds and three assists.

Watson's jumper wasn't falling (1-of-6 FGs) but that's par for the course, as he's a career 42 percent shooter.

C.J. Watson - G - Nets

C.J. Watson (illness) did not practice on Thursday.

The Nets don't play again until Sunday against the Hawks, so Watson should have plenty of time to recover before the game.

C.J. Watson - G - Nets

C.J. Watson scored 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting with five rebounds, one assist and two 3-pointers in 26 minutes off the bench on Friday against the Mavs.

Watson is vying for low-end value in a banged up Nets backcourt, and if either starter goes down then he could have some upside. If that equation works for you, give him a look.
Mar 2 - 2:01 AM
C.J. Watson - G - Nets

C.J. Watson started for the injured Joe Johnson on Tuesday, scoring 10 points with two boards, two assists and two 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

Johnson was eligible to play in the game and didn't get ruled out until right before the game tipped. The Nets play on Friday and Johnson should be able to give it a go Friday, so Watson can remain on most waiver wires.

C.J. Watson - G - Nets

C.J. Watson started in place of Joe Johnson (foot) on Friday and had 17 points, four rebounds, five assists and three 3-pointers on 7-of-15 shooting.

Watson has played well as a starter this season, but as long as Deron Williams and Johnson are healthy, he's not worth owning in most leagues. Johnson is day-to-day, but if he's going to miss Sunday's game, CJW might be a decent spot-start option.

C.J. Watson - G - Nets

C.J. Watson will start in place of Joe Johnson (foot) on Friday night.

Watson has been in and out of the starting lineup at times this season as an injury replacement for Deron Williams. Nets GM Billy King says Johnson is expected back Sunday, so Watson still belongs on waivers in most leagues unless Williams were to be sidelined again. MarShon Brooks will also see additional minutes Friday and it's possible Tyshawn Taylor could get some run.

C.J. Watson - G - Nets

The Celtics are interested in C.J. Watson but the Nets don't want to part with him, sources told Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.

It appears the Nets have been fairly active in trade talks thus far, but they only seem willing to part with spare parts Kris Humphries and MarShon Brooks. We're not sure how far that will get them, but we also can't imagine Watson would bring enough back to make dealing him worth it consider Deron Williams' failing health.

C.J. Watson - G - Nets

C.J. Watson made another start for Deron Williams (ankle) on Wednesday and blew up for 25 points, six assists, two steals and a career-high five 3-pointers on 8-of-12 shooting.

This game was a far cry from Monday's disaster, when he had one point and three assists in 19 minutes. If Williams misses more games after the break, Watson will be worth a look, but for now, he belongs on waivers in most leagues.
Feb 14 - 12:02 AM
C.J. Watson - G - Nets

C.J. Watson missed all seven field goal attempts and shot 1-of-2 from the line for one point to go with four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 19 minutes.

The game went to overtime and Watson's three assists were a team high. The Nets only had nine assists as a team, which is a testament to their lack of ball movement. The Nets have the second lowest assists per game in the Eastern Conference and were lucky to come away with a win. Watson can be left on the wire in most leagues with 12 games on Wednesday.

C.J. Watson - G - Nets

C.J. Watson (illness) will be a game-time decision on Sunday.

Brooklyn's backup PG is an afterthought in fantasy leagues, at least while Deron Williams is healthy, so his availability shouldn't impact any lineups.

C.J. Watson - G - Nets

C.J. Watson played through a sprained ankle on Tuesday and had five points and a 3-pointer on 2-of-7 shooting in 12 minutes.

He missed Monday's practice with the ankle injury but played through it tonight. He has no fantasy value as long as Deron Williams, who also played through a sprained ankle, is healthy.
Feb 6 - 12:10 AM
C.J. Watson - G - Nets

C.J. Watson will face the Lakers on Tuesday despite sitting out practice on Monday with an ankle injury.

Watson has been dealing with minor bumps and bruises throughout the season, but it looks like he'll give it a go on Tuesday.
