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.

GB WR Christian Watson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. New Orleans Saints

Christian Watson could be in line to make his season debut this weekend against the Saints after logging a limited practice on Wednesday. He was held out of practice on Thursday as part of the plan according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Assuming he gets back on the field Friday, Watson could be in line to play.

Check back for more updates.

GB WR Christian Watson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Chicago Bears

Christian Watson has logged back-to-back DNPs at practice this week with a hamstring injury. It's unfortunately looking less likely he'll be able to give it a go this week, but. even a limited session on Friday could be enough to play on Sunday. If Watson is unable to go, it'll be a slight downgrade for Jordan Love while locking Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs into two receiver sets. Malik Heath looks like the potential replacement in three receiver sets.

UPDATE: Christian Watson has been ruled out for Sunday.

If Watson is able to suit up, it wasn't a great matchup last year according to aFPA (11th against WR) and not being 100 percent I'd cautiously start him. It's extremely risky, but if he's able to go, and reports are that he won't be limited, it would be tough to sit him, but lower expectations to a WR3/Flex-type week. Be sure to check back for updated injury reports.
