Christian Watson Carries Hot Streak Into Vikings Rematch

Friday, November 13, 11:15 AM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has posted consecutive 100-yard games despite suffering a broken rib against Carolina in Week 8. Watson returned to finish that contest with eight catches for 113 yards, then caught seven of eight targets for a career-high 171 yards and a touchdown against New England. He also torched Minnesota in Week 1, recording six receptions for 147 yards and two touchdowns. The Vikings have been much tougher on opposing receivers since that meeting and have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to the position this season. Watson isn't listed on Green Bay's Week 10 injury report, easing concerns about his rib injury. His recent production and connection with Jordan Love make him a strong fantasy start despite the difficult divisional matchup.

George Pickens Returns to the WR2 Mix Against San Francisco

Saturday, November 14, 6:49 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) practiced fully Friday after being limited Thursday and has no game designation against San Francisco. He missed the Indianapolis game after putting up 105 yards and a touchdown on six catches in his two previous appearances. He broke a 37-yard gain against Arizona on just four targets, sharing the field with CeeDee Lamb. Tre Tucker led Raiders wide receivers with 55 yards on eight targets against the 49ers last week. His longest catch went for 18 yards, and no other Raiders wideout gained more on a reception. Pickens has averaged 13.7 yards per catch in eight games and drawn 62 targets. He and Lamb had each run 250 routes through Week 8, so Dallas has kept Pickens involved even when the targets favor Lamb. He drew 11 targets on 54 Dak Prescott attempts at Green Bay in Week 6, giving him another way to produce if Dallas has to throw more often. RotoBaller lists him at WR20 in its weekend PPR rankings, and he fits as a low-end WR2 in 12-team leagues.
