Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Drake London

Friday, October 18, 6:30 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (ankle) turned in three limited practices this week and was removed from the Packers' injury report. He should be all set to suit up for Green Bay's game against the Houston Texans in Week 7. Watson returned to the lineup in Week 6 following an ankle injury that kept him out of Week 5's game with the Rams. He led the team with 68 receiving yards, catching 3-of-4 targets, plus a touchdown grab that capped off his afternoon. Watson's ankle is clearly being managed a bit more despite him taking 60% of snaps and 72% of routes per dropback last week, so with the stiff competition with Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Tucker Kraft, Dontayvion Wicks, and other pass-catchers for target, Watson will be in a tough spot to return consistent fantasy production each week. Still, as Watson is a big play waiting to happen, he should be considered a boom-or-bust WR3 with solid flex viability this week against the Texans.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London hauled in six passes on eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks. It was the sixth consecutive game in which the 23-year-old tallied at least six receptions and he's now scored in five of Atlanta's seven games. London's day perhaps could have been better had Kirk Cousins not killed a couple of drives with interceptions, but the 6-foot-4 wideout put himself in the mix as a WR1 for the week nevertheless. He should continue his stretch of consistent production in next week's matchup versus the Buccaneers, having racked up 12-154-1 against them back in Week 5.
