Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Gage Larvadain

Friday, November 28, 12:40 AM

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.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Gage Larvadain carried the ball once for a four-yard touchdown and caught two of his three targets for 23 yards in a 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in preseason action on Friday. Larvadain punched in a short touchdown in the third quarter to give the Browns a 21-7 lead. The undrafted rookie out of South Carolina also handled two punt returns, but he ultimately was forced from the game early with what is being called a lower-body injury. Larvadain will hope to be ready to return to the field in time for the Browns' next preseason game, which is set for next Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
