Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Globe staffer Mike Reiss, TE Ben Watson, who hasn't played since injuring his knee Dec. 10 against the Dolphins, was jogging without difficulty in pre-game warmups. Rookie TE David Thomas has stepped up in Watson's absence and could still factor into the passing attack with Watson back; also for New England, Kevin Faulk (knee) is active and expected to play his usual 3rd-down role. ... Jets WR Laveranues Coles (jaw) is active and expected to play as usual.
