GB WR Christian Watson - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

This is turning out to be a lost season for Christian Watson. He hasn't seemed to get going at all and the creative ways he was used last year by Matt LaFleur seemed to have disappeared. Watson saw 40% of the end zone targets last week which is about the best we can say for his disappointing 7-target game that ended with 2 catches for 23 scoreless yards.

The matchup against the 27th-ranked (aFPA) Chargers is great and while he ranks a little further down than Doubs and Reed, he's still on the flex radar this week based on the matchup alone. Watson is a start this week because of the matchup and hopefully, he's able to break a big play.

GB WR Christian Watson - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Pittsburgh Steelers

It's been a struggle for Christian Watson this season and racking up a few injuries last Sunday didn't help. Watson was limited at practice on Wednesday and might carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, but will likely suit up. Whether or not you can count on him is a different story.

The Steelers are 29th aFPA against wide receivers, but with Jordan Love spreading the ball around it's tough to count on Watson or any Packers receiver to have a massive game. Watson checks in as WR46 this week in the 4for4 rankings. That puts him in flex territory, but it definitely seems like a difficult click this week.

GB WR Christian Watson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs Los Angeles Rams

The passing game in Green Bay is limited by what Jordan Love is capable of doing, which right now is not much. No one suffers more from this than Christian Watson. The big plays we saw last year are non-existent in this form of the Packers offense. Watson was limited to 3 catches for 33 yards on 8 targets last week in a favorable matchup against the Vikings.

Things don't get any easier this week against the Rams who are 9th aFPA against wide receivers. Watson is a borderline flex option in most leagues this week. He should still see a decent amount of volume, but capitalizing on it looks a bit difficult at the moment.

GB WR Christian Watson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Christian Watson struggled again, as did the whole Packers passing offense, against the Broncos. Watson had five targets for 3 catches for 27 yards. A disappointing day against a beatable secondary, even if Patrick Surtain is there. On the plus side, Watson led the Packers in routes and targets, but he wasn't able to parlay that into a useable fantasy day.

The matchup against the Vikings should be good as well, but who knows where this Packers passing attack is on any given week. Watson is a WR3 this week, but a touchdown could give him the upside of a WR2. You can't really bench him, but he's not exactly reliable.

GB WR Christian Watson - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Denver Broncos/strong>

Christian Watson was slowly worked back into the offense in the two games before the bye, so we should hopefully see him fully unleashed in this game against the Broncos. While the Broncos are easier to run on than pass, it's still a solid spot for Watson and the pass-catchers.

Watson is a borderline WR2 this week and given he likely won't see shadow coverage from Patrick Surtain he should find opportunities for a big play. His game-breaking ability can come from anywhere and that's why in a solid matchup he should be started confidently in all formats.

GB WR Christian Watson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Las Vegas Raiders

Christian Watson was on a snap count last week against the Lions and while he only ran a route on 47 percent of snaps, he did still manage to find the end zone in his season debut. He was limited in practice again this week, but should hopefully see more snaps this week against the Raiders.

While the Raiders are 5th against receivers so far this season, Watson should still be considered a WR3 this week with the ability to potentially put up a WR2 week if the routes really ramp up this week.

GB WR Christian Watson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Detroit Lions

Christian Watson is expected to make his debut this season on Thursday Night Football against Detroit after nearly getting back last week and logging limited practices so far this week. It will be interesting to see how Watson fits in after seeing the emergence of Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs continuing to see targets in the red zone.

Watson is a borderline WR3/Flex this week based on our rankings, but the matchup against Detroit is a great one to return to. The Lions are 22nd against wide receivers in aFPA and you drafted Watson as a WR 2/3 and should consider him one this week.
