Christian Watson Fantasy Stats

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was in the top 50 receivers in half-PPR points in 2025 despite missing the first seven games of the season while recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered late in the 2024 campaign. In 10 regular-season games played, Watson caught 35 of his 55 targets for 611 receiving yards and six touchdowns. The 26-year-old also scored a touchdown in the Wild-Card loss to the Chicago Bears. He finished second on the team behind Romeo Doubs in catches, targets, and yards. Watson was one of quarterback Jordan Love's go-to targets down the stretch. Green Bay has a crowded group of wideouts, and tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) will be back at some point next year, but when healthy, Watson, a former second-rounder, still has plenty of fantasy upside. Watson has 2,264 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns in his four NFL seasons, but he's yet to play a full season due to injuries.

Before being rested for the season finale, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson had emerged as the team's most dangerous downfield threat, averaging 65.6 yards and almost a touchdown per game across his last five outings. Against a Chicago defense that has allowed more than five fantasy points above expectation to the position, he is in line for a solid performance in Saturday night's Wild Card matchup. The Bears allowed 300+ passing yards in each of their final two regular-season games, and with quarterback Jordan Love now clear of the league's concussion protocol, Green Bay's offense could find more success than it did in a Week 16 loss to Chicago that saw Malik Willis handling primary duties under center. Watson is RotoBaller's WR12 for the opening round of the playoffs.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson is coming off one of his best games of the season, having put up 113 yards and a touchdown in a Week 17 loss to the Ravens. Unfortunately, with the loss, Green Bay is locked into the NFC's seventh seed regardless of how things play out this weekend. With the Packers already on record that starting quarterback Jordan Love will sit out one more game despite clearing the NFL's concussion protocol, it seems unlikely that the rest of their starters will get much run, if any, in a meaningless Week 18 game against the Vikings. Fantasy managers in leagues playing through the final week of the season should be looking for pieces from games with clearer stakes.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (shoulder, illness) will be a slightly more volatile fantasy option than usual for Saturday's home matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. Watson, like quite a few of his teammates, is dealing with multiple injury designations for their Week 17 tilt with Baltimore. In unfortunate news for the 26-year-old, a late-week illness may keep him from suiting up, as he's been deemed questionable after recording a DNP for Thursday's practice. Even if Watson does eventually play, the uncertainty surrounding who will be the team's starting quarterback hurts his fantasy value. Currently, both Jordan Love (shoulder, concussion) and Malik Willis (shoulder, illness) are questionable, too, meaning Clayton Tune could end up being the one calling signals in a worst-case scenario. Fantasy managers relying on the fourth-year pro should closely monitor his status up until game time. Watson ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR35 for his outing with Baltimore.

Per the team, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (shoulder, illness) is officially questionable for the team's Week 17 clash with the visiting Baltimore Ravens. Watson has dealt with a shoulder injury for a few weeks now, but was able to participate fully for Green Bay's first two practices of the week. However, the 26-year-old was a late addition to the report, picking up an illness that led to his being listed as a non-participant on Thursday. Unfortunately, this puts his availability for the Pack's Saturday night matchup in doubt, making him a volatile WR3/flex if active. If Watson is unable to suit up, teammates Matthew Golden and Dontayvion Wicks would see an uptick in snaps behind Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs in the passing game.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Christian Watson (chest, shoulder) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are active for Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Chicago Bears. Both players had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Watson has emerged as the Packers' No. 1 receiver with 28 catches, 481 yards, and five touchdowns through eight games. Since making his season debut in Week 8, he ranks as the overall WR9 in full-PPR leagues. He continues to operate as a high-end WR2 in fantasy football. Meanwhile, Wicks has been productive in a depth role, catching 27 passes for 313 yards and a pair of touchdowns across a dozen contests. His presence on Saturday is key for the Packers, but he doesn't offer much value in fantasy football. Wicks can be benched or dropped to waivers in most redraft leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (chest, shoulder) should be able to go for Saturday night's divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Watson missed Tuesday's practice but practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday this week. The 26-year-old wideout was sent to the hospital after suffering injuries to his chest and shoulder during last week's loss to the Denver Broncos, but said that he was "feeling pretty good" this week and will suit up for a big matchup on Saturday night. Watson has been the Packers' most explosive pass catcher since returning in Week 8 and offers WR2 upside in a favorable matchup against the Bears.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (chest, shoulder) is officially questionable to play in Week 16 versus the division-rival Chicago Bears in the Windy City on Saturday night, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Watson injured his chest/shoulder on a hard fall in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos and was sent to the hospital as a precaution. The 26-year-old was cleared of a major injury and said he was "feeling pretty good" this week, but his status for Week 16 will come down to a medical decision on Saturday. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Saturday for Green Bay's inactives before putting Watson into starting lineups for the week. He has been quarterback Jordan Love's go-to receiver in his eight games played, catching 28 passes for 481 yards and five touchdowns. If Watson isn't cleared, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, and rookie Matthew Golden would all have higher ceilings in Chicago.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (chest, shoulder), who returned to a limited practice on Wednesday, said he should be able to play in Week 16 on Saturday night in the divisional rematch against the hosting Chicago Bears, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. "It's feeling pretty good for everything considered, so I think it'll be alright for the game. We're at the point in the season where you gotta fight through some stuff, so should be good," Watson said. The 26-year-old landed hard on a play in the second half in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos and was sent to the hospital after the game as a precaution. Doctors ruled out a major injury, thankfully, and now it looks like Watson will have a good chance to play this weekend after returning to practice on Wednesday. He has been quarterback Jordan Love's go-to receiver in the eight games he's played in 2025, and he had 89 receiving yards and two TDs two weeks ago against Chicago. If Watson is active, he should be considered a WR2 in fantasy.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Christian Watson (chest) is expected to be limited in Wednesday's practice, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. "He's improving. We'll just see how he's feeling out there," LaFleur said. Watson was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report. He was hospitalized following a chest injury in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, but doctors ruled out a long-term injury. The 26-year-old's status is up in the air for Saturday's big divisional rematch against the Chicago Bears, but it's a good sign that Watson is returning to practice. Since making his season debut halfway through the 2025 season, Watson has been Green Bay's go-to wideout, catching 28 of his 43 targets for 481 yards and five touchdowns. The former second-rounder had 89 yards and two touchdowns two weeks ago against Chicago. If he's cleared to play, Watson will have WR2 upside in the rematch in the Windy City.
