Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Ladd McConkey

Friday, November 22, 6:32 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson is looking to build off the best game of his 2024 season as the Packers host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Watson amassed four receptions and 150 receiving yards and was hugely efficient for the Packers in their win over the Chicago Bears in Week 11. Besides that outburst, Watson has been kept relatively in check by defenses and hasn't been given a full complement of snaps and routes as he's rotated with Dontayvion Wicks and Jayden Reed at times. Still, Watson hasn't been able to make the most of his opportunities, which makes him a volatile fantasy asset to start. That puts Watson squarely into flex territory in a tough matchup with the 49ers in Week 12.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (shoulder) is currently considered questionable for Monday's Week 12 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The rookie wideout is headed in the right direction after getting in a limited practice session on Friday. He continues nursing a shoulder injury he suffered during last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. If active, McConkey should be considered a WR2 after a strong 123-yard performance last week. Although, fantasy managers will need to find a possible replacement in case McConkey isn't cleared to play.
