Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or John Metchie III

Sunday, December 7, 9:33 AM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been on a tear lately, and he should continue to be quite productive during Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Chicago Bears. Specifically, Watson has 13 catches, 175 yards, and three touchdowns over his last three games, ranking as the WR10 in half-PPR leagues during that span. Although Watson will find himself with a little more competition this week after the Packers activated Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder), he should still be started in most leagues. It appears that Watson has established himself as Jordan Love's favorite target, which bodes well for his volume and productivity against a Bears defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Watson ranks as the overall WR24 in RotoBaller's Week 14 fantasy rankings. He should be started in all leagues.

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III's production took a step back in Week 13, but he'll still be on the fantasy radar for his team's matchup with the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium this Sunday. Metchie III drew a season-high eight targets in last weekend's 27-24 win over Atlanta, although he could only churn out 19 yards (four receptions) while dealing with drops. In spite of the poor performance, the 25-year-old has seen at least seven targets in back-to-back outings, and figures to be heavily involved again as New York attempts to remain in playoff contention. While it's unclear if teammate Adonai Mitchell's superior target share from last week is a trend, rookie tight end Mason Taylor has taken a backseat to the wideouts with Tyrod Taylor at the helm. Metchie III's upside is slightly capped, but fantasy managers can trust him as a low-end PPR option for at least one more week with Garrett Wilson (knee) still tending to an injury. The former Philadelphia Eagle is RotoBaller's PPR WR51 ahead of Week 14's outing.
