Watson is listed behind Nick Boyle on the Week 1 depth chart, Garrett Downing of the Ravens' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite what the depth chart says, Watson may operate as the team's primary pass-catching tight end, considering Boyle is mostly valued for his run blocking. Watson also handled more first-team snaps than his teammate in the third week of the preseason when the Ravens gave their starters significant run. It's a situation best avoided unless Watson provides concrete evidence that he's one of Joe Flacco's preferred targets in the regular season. None of the Baltimore tight ends stood out while working with Ryan Mallett in the preseason.
