Packers WR Christian Watson has a "long way to go to maximize his potential"

Matt Schneidman via The Atletic

Sep 22, 2022 · 11:34 AM EDT

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.”

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Packers WR Allen Lazard misses full week of practice

The thought is that Allen Lazard will be listed as questionable for Week 1, which leaves a brief window of opportunity for him to see the field.

Related Players: Sammy Watkins, Romeo Doubs, Randall Cobb, Christian Watson

Fantasy Impact:

While Lazard missing time could mean a boost for any of the four wide receivers listed above, it may be even more likely that team veterans Robert Tonyan (TE) and Aaron Jones (RB) will get peppered with targets to kick off the season. Last season, the team ran 24 plays out of 21 personnel, but they may show that look a whole lot more with Tonyan, Jones, and A.J. Dillon if Lazard ends up missing one or more games.

Packers Beat: Sammy Watkins could be WR1 if Allen Lazard out

Aaron Rodgers has called Allen Lazard a WR1 all year. If Lazard (ankle) can't go, then Sammy Watkins could be the No. 1 option.

Related players: Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Randall Cobb

Fantasy Impact:

Demovsky said Watkins seems ready and added this quote from him: "I’ve never been this sharp. Just to be this sharp, it feels good to go out there and play freely and play fast." It makes sense Watkins would be a top target with Watson and Doubs rookies and still earning trust.
