Christian Watson News
Sunday, September 13, 9:22 AM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson should be in fantasy lineups Sunday against Minnesota. Watson enters Week 1 healthy and was not listed on Green Bay's injury report this week. He returned from a torn ACL in Week 8 last season and still finished with 35 catches for 611 yards and six touchdowns in 10 games, averaging 17.5 yards per reception. The target picture is cleaner now, too. Romeo Doubs left in free agency and Dontayvion Wicks was traded, leaving Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden as Green Bay's top three receivers. Minnesota was excellent against the pass last season, allowing only 2,694 passing yards and 15 touchdowns, so this is not a matchup-driven start. Watson's role and big-play ability are the reason to trust him. RotoBaller has him at WR22 for Week 1 and recommends him as a flex in all leagues and a WR2 in 12-team formats. He belongs in lineups.

Jeremiyah Love News
Sunday, September 13, 11:10 AM
Arizona Cardinals rookie first-round running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is officially active against the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie had been questionable after missing nearly a month with a high ankle sprain, but he returned to practice this week and will make his NFL debut. The bigger question is how much work Love gets right away. Tyler Allgeier is listed ahead of him on Arizona's depth chart and should remain involved, so fantasy managers may want to temper expectations for Love in his first regular-season game.
