Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been far and away the best Packers' pass-catcher for the last few weeks and will look to put forth another strong effort in Week 14's divisional showdown against the Chicago Bears. Watson has been fantasy's WR10 since Week 11, with 16.3 fantasy points per game. Additionally, he's seen first-read target percentages above 30% in each of the last three weeks, leading the team all three weeks. Watson has an excellent matchup this week against the Bears, as they've allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Combining the solid matchup with Watson's recent utilization, he's a solid fantasy WR2 option this week against the Bears.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson got a late start to the 2025 season following a torn ACL that he suffered in the regular-season finale last year. Watson made his debut in the Week 8 win over the Green Bay Packers and caught all four of his targets for a season-high 85 yards. It was a statement that the 26-year-old was back and immediately on the fantasy football radar. He had exactly four targets in each of the next two games, too, before slowly seeing his role grow in the last three contests. Watson has 13 receptions on 22 targets for 175 yards and three TDs in the last three games, culminating in a four-catch, 80-yard, one-TD performance in the Thanksgiving Day win over the Lions last Thursday. He had a season-high 10 targets in that one and is the WR10 in half-PPR scoring over the last three weeks. Jayden Reed's (foot, shoulder) impending return from IR could make life more difficult for Watson the rest of the way, but heading into a Week 14 divisional game against the Bears, Watson has clear WR2 upside for his big-play ability (17.3 yards per catch).

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson gave his Packers fans and his fantasy managers something to cheer about on Thanksgiving Day, as he hauled in four of his 10 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown. The 10 targets were the most he has seen all season, and with the Packers desperately looking for a No. 1 wide receiver to help out sixth-year quarterback Jordan Love, Watson stepped up in a big way in Week 13. Wastson started the season on the Injured Reserve; however, since being activated in Week 8, he has produced 363 receiving yards, hauled in 21 receptions, and scored three touchdowns. As the weeks have progressed, and Watson has continued to ramp up, he has become the clear go-to target for Love with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the rest of the season. If Watson is on your waiver wire, he is a must-add in all formats and can be started in your lineups moving forward as a low-end WR2/flex play. Outside of a Week 15 matchup with the Denver Broncos, he gets some solid matchups against the Chicago Bears and the Baltimore Ravens for the rest of the fantasy season.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson secured four of his 10 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in a 31-24 win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Watson had the longest play of the game with a 51-yard touchdown on a beautiful deep ball from Jordan Love in the third quarter. The 26-year-old continues to thrive since returning in Week 7, totaling 21 receptions for 363 yards and three touchdowns on 34 targets, averaging 12.6 PPR points per game. The 2022 second-round pick has operated as Green Bay's WR1 recently, leading the team in routes run over the past three weeks and clearly being their best downfield threat. Watson could have had a bigger day on Thursday, but had a few tough drops. Still, it was another strong outing for Watson, and he projects favorably for the rest of the season.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been front and center for the Packers in their passing game as of late, and he looks to keep that up in the Packers' Week 13 game against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Last week against the Minnesota Vikings, Watson led the Packers in targets with seven and paced the passing game production with a five-catch, 49-yard stat line. Watson has also led the Packers in air yards over the last three games, showing the intent from head coach and playcaller Matt LaFleur and Packers quarterback Jordan Love to get the ball downfield. Detroit allows the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing receivers and is a man-based defense that was just shredded by Wan'Dale Robinson's 9-157-1 line this past Sunday for the Giants. For fantasy purposes, Watson should be considered a high-upside WR3 for Week 13.
Nov 26, 2025 5:30 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has seen his involvement in the Packers' offense and the intent to get him high-leverage targets grow in the last few weeks. In Week 11 against the New York Giants, Watson caught two touchdown passes. Last week against the Vikings, Watson led the Packers in targets with seven, and paced the passing game production with a five-catch, 49-yard stat line. Watson has also led the Packers in air yards over the last three games, showing the intent from head coach and playcaller Matt LaFleur and Packers' quarterback Jordan Love to get the ball downfield, and when they do, prioritizing getting the ball to Watson. When Watson gets an opportunity, it's more often than not going to be in a high-leverage situation, which is great for fantasy managers as he's seemingly supplanted Romeo Doubs as the top receiver for the Packers. Against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, who give up the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing receivers and are a man-based defense that was just shredded by Wan'Dale Robinson's 9-157-1 line this past Sunday, Watson should be a high-upside WR3 for Week 13.
Nov 25, 2025 12:30 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson didn't have a huge day in the team's Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but he led the Packers in receiving in the convincing 23-6 victory. Watson led the team in targets (seven), receptions (five), and receiving yards (49). He didn't make his season debut until Week 8 while recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 18 of last year, but he has slowly developed into quarterback Jordan Love's most trusted option through the air. The 26-year-old former second-rounder has seen at least four targets in each of his five games this year, and he has caught at least four passes in three of those contests. Watson had a season-high 85 receiving yards in his debut back on Oct. 26, and he found the end zone twice in last week's win over the Giants. His target share could take a hit whenever Jayden Reed (shoulder, foot) returns from IR, but at the very least, Watson deserves to be rostered as an explosive deep threat. He's still rostered in fewer than 50% of Yahoo leagues.
Nov 24, 2025 12:18 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was very productive in Week 11 and looks to keep that run going when the Packers welcome the Minnesota Vikings for an NFC North divisional showdown in Week 12. Watson scored two touchdowns and caught 4-of-5 targets for 46 yards in the Packers' Week 11 win against the New York Giants. With Watson running at least 80 percent of routes per dropback in his last two games, he is fully entrenched as a top-two target on this Packers team. Also worth noting is Watson leading the Packers in first-read target share (33.3 percent) and first downs (4), so there has been intent to get Watson involved with target-earning as well. With Watson facing the Minnesota Vikings, Watson is a solid flex play with plenty of upside in Week 12.
Nov 21, 2025 7:06 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) was listed as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. This comes as no surprise given the Packers have been cautious with Watson since he returned to the field a few weeks ago. Watson returned in Week 8 after recovering from a torn ACL from last year. He posted his best game of the season last week when he hauled in four of his five targets for 46 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the New York Giants. Fantasy managers shouldn't have anything to worry about as Watson being limited is likely just a precaution. The Packers wideouts are extremely banged up right now, so Watson could be looking at a heavy workload in Week 12.
Nov 19, 2025 8:29 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson could be set up for a few weeks as the team's top pass-catcher before the potential return of Jayden Reed (collarbone/foot) from IR. In his growing role, he makes a nice addition if he's on the waiver wire in your leagues. The fourth-year receiver from North Dakota State missed the first seven weeks of the season but has played four straight games, logging multiple receptions and over 40 yards in each contest. On Sunday, he scored his first two touchdowns of the year to help power the Packers past the Giants. Watson and the Packers have tough receiver matchups against the Vikings and Lions in the next two weeks, but then he has three favorable matchups in the last four weeks of the fantasy season against the Bears twice and the Ravens.
Nov 18, 2025 10:11 AM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson broke out in a big way during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Watson has been held in check during his first few games, but finally found the end zone this past weekend. The 26-year-old hauled in four of his five targets for 46 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Given the Packers current injuries, Watson could be an interesting waiver wire addition this week. The expectation is that Watson's role on the team will grow as time goes on. He should offer at least flex value for the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Nov 17, 2025 9:36 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson broke out in his fourth game of the season in Sunday's 27-20 win on the road at MetLife Stadium against the New York Giants, catching four of his five targets for 46 yards and his first two touchdowns of the season. Watson didn't make his 2025 debut until Week 8 after tearing the ACL in his knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale last year. In his first three games, he caught eight of his 12 targets for 188 yards and no scores. The 26-year-old scored in the first and fourth quarters in the Week 11 win, with his second TD reception being a contested-catch grab with multiple receivers draped all over him in the end zone. Targets might be harder to come by when Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) returns from Injured Reserve, but for now, Watson should remain a key contributor and big-play specialist in the Packers' offense. Watson will be in play as a WR4/flex with big-play upside in a Week 12 divisional clash against the Minnesota Vikings.
Nov 16, 2025 10:42 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee, hamstring) is off the injury report and is all set to play Sunday against the New York Giants. Watson was listed as limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, saying that he is still in the ramp-up stage in his return from the torn ACL suffered last season. There didn't seem to be any doubt in regards to his status for Week 11, however, and he should be a big part of Green Bay's passing attack against an exploitable Giants defense. The 26-year-old has had a healthy role in the three games since returning, posting the second-highest route share on the team at 70.1%, behind only Romeo Doubs. Watson is an explosive playmaker who Jordan Love likes to target downfield, but the production can be volatile.
Nov 14, 2025 4:53 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) was limited in practice on Thursday, but he said he's "just sore" and still considers himself in the "ramp-up stage" of his return from a torn ACL he suffered in last year's regular-season finale, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. When asked if he expects to play on Sunday against the New York Giants, Watson said, "Oh yeah." The 26-year-old former second-rounder in 2022 made his season debut in Week 8 and has caught eight of his 12 targets for 188 yards and no touchdowns in his first three games. He started by playing only 56% of the offensive snaps in Week 8, but he has slowly seen more action and saw an 82% snap share in the Monday night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Watson is a bit of a boom/bust fantasy asset, but he's averaging a healthy 23.5 yards per catch as a big-play guy, and he could certainly boom this weekend against the G-Men.
Nov 13, 2025 3:21 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson had an underwhelming game in his team's Week 10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, recording two catches for 45 yards on four targets. Still, Watson's fantasy outlook could be trending upwards coming out of the game, as Packers wideout Romeo Doubs (chest) was forced to exit Week 10 early due to a chest injury. In three games since returning from a knee injury that delayed his start to the season, Watson has recorded eight catches for 188 yards on 12 targets. Watson is averaging 23.5 yards per reception, which demonstrates his big-play ability. If Watson can earn a few more targets going forward, he could be in line for some explosive weeks. Additionally, the Packers have a much easier matchup in Week 11 against the New York Giants. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams where he remains available, Watson should be a waiver-wire target.
Nov 11, 2025 11:18 AM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson could move up in the pecking order for targets as the Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. With the knee injury to tight end Tucker Kraft that ended his season, Watson could be the biggest beneficiary of Kraft being out of the lineup. Watson has four targets in each of his two games since returning from an ACL injury in Week 18 last year, but his workload has ramped up from 65% of routes per dropback in Week 8 to 75% in Week 9. With the litany of injuries surrounding the Packers' pass-catchers, somebody other than Romeo Doubs will have to take the initiative and earn more targets in this offense. With Watson now healthy, he seems like the best bet for that job right now for Green Bay. With the Packers hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, consider Watson a flex option for fantasy, with the potential for much more.
Nov 8, 2025 5:21 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were both limited participants during Friday's practice session. Watson recently made his season debut in Week 8, so he's still working his way back into a full workload. The Packers are likely limiting him in practice as a precaution. Barring any setbacks, Watson should be out there for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wicks has missed the last two games due to a lingering calf issue. He has been limited in both practice sessions to begin the week, which points to him being active on Monday. Fellow wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder) is unlikely to play, so Wicks could see an expanded role.
Nov 7, 2025 9:37 PM EST
In two games since returning from the ACL tear that ended his 2024 season, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) has recorded six catches for 143 yards on eight targets. Watson was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday, but he's expected to play in his team's Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. The 26-year-old has looked as explosive as ever so far in 2025, averaging 23.8 yards per reception. Consistent target volume has always been an issue for Watson, but there are some reasons to believe he could see an expanded role in Week 10. Green Bay lost star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) to a season-ending ACL tear in Week 9, and wide receivers Savion Williams (foot), Matthew Golden (shoulder), and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were all on Thursday's injury report. Watson also played 66% of the Packers' offensive snaps in Week 9, up from 56% in Week 8. Heading into Week 10, Watson profiles as a high-end WR4/flex option for fantasy managers.
Nov 7, 2025 10:38 AM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson returned just two weeks ago, but could get a big-time upgrade in his opportunity moving forward for the Packers. With the season-ending knee injury to Packers tight end Tucker Kraft, Watson could be the biggest beneficiary of Kraft being out of the lineup. Watson has four targets in each of his two games since returning from an ACL injury in Week 18 last year, but his workload has ramped up from 65% of routes per dropback in Week 8 to 75% in Week 9. With the litany of injuries surrounding the Packers' pass-catchers, somebody other than Romeo Doubs will have to take the initiative and earn more targets in this offense. With Watson now healthy, he seems like the best bet for that job right now for Green Bay. With the Packers hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, consider Watson a low-end flex option for fantasy, with the potential for much more.
Nov 4, 2025 6:05 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson continues to ease his way back into this offense. On Sunday, Watson hauled in two of his four targets for 58 yards in the loss to the Carolina Panthers. Watson made his season debut in Week 8 after missing the beginning of the season while recovering from a torn ACL. In Week 9, Watson played 66 percent of the offensive snaps which is 10 percent higher than the week prior. His role in the offense is likely going to increase with both Tucker Kraft (knee) and Matthew Golden (shoulder) suffering injuries this weekend. Watson could move into flex territory for the Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
