Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Chimere Dike

Tuesday, August 26, 6:06 PM

The Green Bay Packers officially placed wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, according to Packers.com writer Wes Hodkiewicz. This was always the expectation for Watson after he tore the ACL in his right knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale late last year, and now it's official. The move means that the 26-year-old will miss at least the first four games of the 2025 campaign despite the fact that he was getting glowing reviews during his rehab during training camp this summer. His first chance to make his season debut will come in Week 6 on Oct. 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals -- the Packers have a bye in Week 5. Green Bay is probably going to ease Watson back when he's ready, so fantasy managers in 12-team leagues can probably stay away for now, especially given the crowded nature of the team's receiving room.

Tennessee Titans' rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike recorded one reception for one yard on two targets in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings. Dike was not involved much on Friday, even with Calvin Ridley (soreness) not suiting up. Currently, he sits behind Ridley, Tyler Lockett, Van Jefferson, and fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor on the depth chart, but he appears to have established a solid role on special teams. Head coach Brian Callahan has spoken highly of Dike for his work as a returner, and on Friday against the Vikings, he backed it up with a 36-yard kick return.
