Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Jamal Agnew

Tuesday, October 28, 1:27 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson returned to the Packers' lineup in Week 8 following an ACL injury that ended his 2024 season in Week 18. Watson was an immediate focal point of the offense in his 2025 debut, bringing in all four of his targets for 85 yards. The big question: can Watson be a fantasy-relevant player this season? While it was great to see Watson back and receive immediate involvement in the passing game, he's still behind Tucker Kraft, Romeo Doubs, and Josh Jacobs in the pecking order on offense. Watson's game has always been as a vertical receiver, and for fantasy, those types of players are boom-or-bust in nature. That makes it hard to start him in most weeks, even with bye weeks in full swing. For the Packers' Week 9 matchup against the Panthers, consider Watson a low-end flex play.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jamal Agnew (groin) said that he feels good despite exiting in the third quarter of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran receiver is one of three Atlanta receivers dealing with injuries, along with Darnell Mooney (shoulder), who was inactive Sunday, and Drake London (shoulder), who exited after dropping a target in the fourth quarter. Agnew was not targeted in the passing game, but he did get involved on special teams with two kick returns and two punt returns. He's off the fantasy radar for Week 2 regardless of his injury status.
