Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or John Metchie III

Friday, November 14, 4:53 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee, hamstring) is off the injury report and is all set to play Sunday against the New York Giants. Watson was listed as limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, saying that he is still in the ramp-up stage in his return from the torn ACL suffered last season. There didn't seem to be any doubt in regards to his status for Week 11, however, and he should be a big part of Green Bay's passing attack against an exploitable Giants defense. The 26-year-old has had a healthy role in the three games since returning, posting the second-highest route share on the team at 70.1%, behind only Romeo Doubs. Watson is an explosive playmaker who Jordan Love likes to target downfield, but the production can be volatile.

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III caught all three of his targets for 45 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 11 loss against the New England Patriots. Metchie played 82.5 percent of the snaps in the defeat, shattering his previous season-high snap share of 16 percent. Thursday's game also featured Metchie's first touchdown this season and just the second of his career. The 25-year-old was presented with increased opportunities to contribute on primetime television after Garrett Wilson (knee) was placed on injured reserve. The Jets may ride the hot hand in the passing game going forward, but Metchie has an early leg up on the rest of his competition. He can be viewed as a low-end WR3/flex in deeper leagues ahead of Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens.
