Christian Watson News
Friday, September 11, 5:43 PM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson is healthy and will look to put up a career season the Packers head to Minneapolis to face off with the division-rival Vikings in Week 1. Watson got a hefty four-year extension this offseason to stay with the Packers to be their top wide receiver this season. Watson has been insanely efficient in his career, with at least 2.25 yards per route run or better in three of his four NFL seasons. But he's run just 1,058 total routes in that span, missing time in each season of his NFL career. Can Watson stay healthy? Will the Packers' offense consolidate touches after Romeo Doubs left for New England and Dontayvion Wicks was traded to the Eagles? Against the Vikings, Watson is a high-upside WR3 play for fantasy.

Khalil Shakir News
Saturday, September 12, 7:34 AM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir returns to Houston after one of his best games of 2025, when he caught eight of 10 targets for 110 yards in a 23-19 loss to the Texans. Shakir finished the season with 72 receptions for 719 yards and four touchdowns across 16 games, remaining one of Josh Allen's most reliable short-area options. That role could be useful again against a Houston defense that recorded 47 sacks last year and consistently pressured Allen in the previous meeting. The target picture is more crowded this time, however, with DJ Moore now in Buffalo and Dalton Kincaid healthy after missing last year's matchup. Shakir is WR48 in RotoBaller's Week 1 rankings. His catch volume gives him some value as a deeper PPR FLEX, but the added competition makes him much harder to trust in non-PPR formats.
