Christian Watson Fantasy

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) has drawn a questionable tag for the Week 3 game on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Watson has been held out of the first two games of the year, but he practiced on Wednesday and Friday this week while being rested on Thursday. The 24-year-old second-year pass-catcher could end up being a game-time decision, so fantasy managers will need to check back on Sunday morning before deciding whether to plug him into their lineups. Watson is expected to be quarterback Jordan Love's top target this year when healthy, but he'll be a risky flex play for fantasy managers if he makes his debut on Sunday because of the fact that he could be eased into the offense with a hamstring injury that has been bothering him since late in training camp.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday but was held out on Thursday, leading many to believe he suffered a setback with a lingering hamstring issue that he's been dealing with since the end of training camp. However, head coach Matt LaFleur said Watson didn't suffer a setback this week. He was a DNP on Thursday as part of the plan to hold Watson out after he was limited on Wednesday. It's good news, but it still doesn't mean Watson will make his 2023 debut in Week 3 on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. And if the 24-year-old is active Sunday, he may not see a full workload as the Packers look to ease him into the offense.

After returning to a limited practice on Wednesday, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) was unable to practice with the team on Thursday. Watson has missed the first two games of the season and might have tried to do too much at practice on Wednesday before he was ready, so now he's in danger of missing his third straight game to open the 2023 campaign. There's a good chance he'll be listed as questionable yet again on the final Week 3 injury report. The 24-year-old is expected to be quarterback Jordan Love's top target when healthy, but he's had trouble recovering from a lingering hamstring injury he suffered late in training camp. If he misses another game, Romeo Doubs and rookie Jayden Reed will have higher fantasy ceilings again against the New Orleans Saints.
