Christian Watson is OUT Sunday vs. the Bears, Matt LaFleur says.

Romeo Doubs is questionable.

Related Players: Jayden Reed, Malik Heath, Samori Toure

Things aren't looking so hot for Jordan Love's first official start as the team's QB1. Jayden Reed looked fantastic throughout the offseason, so if Doubs is forced out, he will also make a very intriguing DFS piece. Luke Musgrave, who also showed out through the summer, is also interesting for managers who are scouring the waiver wire after learning late on Thursday that they would be without Travis Kelce.

For the second straight day today, Packers’ WR Christian Watson did not practice due to a hamstring injury.

What was setting up for a nice debut week for new QB Jordan Love is suddenly not so positive as Watson may not be on the field for Week 1. Doubs has also been limited throughout the week, which further dings the Packers offense as a whole. If Friday doesn't deliver some good news, Love will fall out of favor in Superflex leagues.

While Christian Watson got most of the attention for his big plays late last season, Doubs has seemingly become quarterback Jordan Love's go-to guy -- at least in the offseason practices. Whether it's in scripted team periods or move-the-ball drills like the two-minute simulation, Doubs has been targeted time and again. Don't forget, it was Doubs who starred last preseason when Love got all the No. 1 reps in the games because Aaron Rodgers didn't play. And Doubs was off to a strong start last year as a rookie until a midseason ankle injury changed his trajectory.

If Doubs becomes a target-hungry 1-2 punch with Watson, this inevitably pushes the rest of the Packers' options down the pecking order, most notably Jayden Reed. Reed was a second-round selection in this year's draft, but that doesn't automatically mean he will be an integral fantasy piece. This is a situation with fantasy ramifications that we need to keep an eye on.

Sounds like Christian Watson, Yosh Nijman, and Keisean Nixon all avoided significant injuries. Coach Matt LaFleur said they would be "day to day" this week.

Watson's mid-season explosion has tapered off the last few weeks, and his hip injury knocked him out of Week 15 after only 20 routes run. We should understand the status of his hip better later on this week.

Packers WR Christian Watson is questionable to return against the Dolphins with a hip injury.

Watson was having another solid game with six catches in the first half for 49 yards. We’ll see how serious the injury is, hopefully nothing major. The Packers were trailing at the half 20-13.

If there is anything the Packers (4-7) would like to see from here to the finish line in the final six games of what looks like a lost season -- other than perhaps some game action for backup quarterback Jordan Love -- it’s more of what the rookie receivers Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs can do together.

Fifty-two snaps. That’s all Watson and Doubs have played together this season. Eleven games into the season, and the rookie receivers have been on the field at the same time for what amounts to less than one full game, the story said.

Jones is looking like he'll have a good shot to play after not being able to finish the game in Week 9.

Watson had been rotating in during Weeks 4 and 5 before missing last week's game, and it's trending toward that inevitability again. Sammy Watkins has been activated off IR and could be a go for Week 7, so targets could spread more spread out as the season continues, which is bad news for Allen Lazard.

The full quote from head coach Matt LaFleur on rookie Christian Watson went as follows; "“He’s a young player and I think he’s far from a finished product. That’s a credit to him because he’s still a guy who we’re going to try to find ways to get him the football. … I’m really pleased with where he is, but also know that he’s got a long way to go for him to maximize his potential.”

Though Watson's role in the offense is almost guaranteed to grow in a questionable wide receiver room, he has run fewer routes than teammates Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb, Romeo Doubs, and Aaron Jones through two weeks. The good news is Watson is being utilized both out of the slot and out wide, but is still losing utilization behind veterans Cobb and Watkins in each alignment. The rookie is irrelevant to fantasy until further notice.
