Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Josh Downs

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson could move up in the pecking order for targets as the Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. With the knee injury to tight end Tucker Kraft that ended his season, Watson could be the biggest beneficiary of Kraft being out of the lineup. Watson has four targets in each of his two games since returning from an ACL injury in Week 18 last year, but his workload has ramped up from 65% of routes per dropback in Week 8 to 75% in Week 9. With the litany of injuries surrounding the Packers' pass-catchers, somebody other than Romeo Doubs will have to take the initiative and earn more targets in this offense. With Watson now healthy, he seems like the best bet for that job right now for Green Bay. With the Packers hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, consider Watson a flex option for fantasy, with the potential for much more.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs has been on a hot streak of late, scoring a touchdown in three straight games. Overall the veteran slot receiver has hauled in 35 passes for 313 yards and three scores in eight games in the explosive Indy offense while taking a backseat to Michael Pittman Jr. and Tyler Warren this season. Downs will look to find the end zone again in a Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin. The Falcons have been tough on opposing receivers this season, allowing the 26th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Downs will have his work cut out for him, but he can be trusted as a solid WR4/flex option for fantasy gamers heading into Week 10.
