Christian Watson News
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson caught 4-of-6 targets and gained 104 yards during the team's 20-16 loss to the Detroit Lions. He added two carries for 12 yards to his total. Injuries held back the rookie receiver from succeeding early in 2022, but once healthy and incorporated into the offense starting in Week 10, Watson was one of the top fantasy wide receivers. He quickly became quarterback Aaron Rodgers' favorite target when looking to score, catching seven touchdowns in four games from Weeks 10-13. The 23-year-old ranked as the WR7 overall from Weeks 10-18 and finished as a top 15 wide receiver in five of the final eight games. Watson has a chance to improve in 2023, but he may be without star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who could potentially be traded or retire. He will enter 2023 drafts as the top Packers wide receiver, likely as a fringe WR2/3, depending on Rodgers' status with the team.
Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (hip) was limited in practice all week but has been removed from Friday's final injury report for Week 18 and will play on Sunday night in the regular season finale against the Detroit Lions. The Packers will earn the NFC's final playoff spot with a win over Detroit this weekend, so they will absolutely be playing all of their starters all game long. Watson is limping to the finish line of his first NFL season, but he will play on Sunday after catching just one pass for 11 yards while playing 60 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 17. In what should be a much closer game this weekend, the young wideout will have a great chance to bounce back against Detroit's generous secondary.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hip) will face the division rival Detroit Lions Sunday night. The rookie dealt with a hip injury last week but fought through despite logging only one limited practice session. He has remained limited this week and is in no real danger of missing the critical matchup with Detroit. Watson struggled mightily last week, catching just one of his five targets for 11 yards. However, he has a fantastic matchup against the Lions this week, which allows the third-most fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position. The injury may not hold him back as much this week, but because of how much he struggled last week, the 23-year-old enters the final week of the regular season as a boom-or-bust WR2.
