Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Jahan Dotson

Thursday, December 18, 4:02 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (chest, shoulder) is officially questionable to play in Week 16 versus the division-rival Chicago Bears in the Windy City on Saturday night, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Watson injured his chest/shoulder on a hard fall in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos and was sent to the hospital as a precaution. The 26-year-old was cleared of a major injury and said he was "feeling pretty good" this week, but his status for Week 16 will come down to a medical decision on Saturday. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Saturday for Green Bay's inactives before putting Watson into starting lineups for the week. He has been quarterback Jordan Love's go-to receiver in his eight games played, catching 28 passes for 481 yards and five touchdowns. If Watson isn't cleared, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, and rookie Matthew Golden would all have higher ceilings in Chicago.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson has been an inconsistent contributor in fantasy football this season, and he remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues ahead of Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. Dotson turned in a solid two-catch, 43-yard showing last week, but he also has zero catches in two of his last four games. Dotson's floor remains quite low given his role in the Eagles' offense. As the No. 3 receiver in an offense that likes to run the ball, Dotson should only expect a couple of targets per game (at most), and most of them will be contested throws deeper downfield. Plus, his snap share has taken a step backward, as he played fewer than one-third of the snaps in each of his last two games. He is a boom-or-bust receiver who ranks outside the top 100 receivers in fantasy points this season. Even against a susceptible Dallas defense, Dotson is not a safe receiver to rely upon.
