Christian Watson

Week 14 @ Detroit Lions
Christian Watson could catch a 40-yard bomb at any moment, but those moments hadn't been too frequent as of late, resulting in 1.0, 5.9, and 7.2 half-PPR points from Weeks 7-9. Managers who threw caution to the wind last week were very well compensated though, as he took down receptions of 25, 48, and 60 yards, flashing the exact reason why he's such a boom-bust option. He's in a similar situation here against a Lions secondary ranked 18th in WR aFPA; he's obviously got a great ceiling but a non-existent floor. Fire him up as a WR4 for week-winning upside, but look elsewhere if you're trying to avoid risk.

Week 7 vs. Houston Texans
Like most every other pass-catcher in Green Bay in 2024, it's going to be hard to get truly consistent week-to-week fantasy production out of them. With Watson's hamstrings fully healthy, we should see far better numbers than we saw last year, but that doesn't mean he's suddenly going to be absorbing 7-8 targets per game. With that said, he could easily break a long one against this Texans defense, which makes him a great boom/bust WR3 option.
