Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Malik Nabers

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) had his ACL surgery and is expected to be back around the midway point of the 2025 season, according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman. "Doing well. He's got a lot in front of him, but I expect him to attack it like he does everything else everything so far's been really good. He's been through this before, so he knows what to expect. It's a big injury. It may take some time, but he's got the right mindset, positive attitude toward it," general manager Brian Gutekunst said. The 25-year-old wideout tore his ACL in Week 18 against the Bears and finished his third year in the NFL with 29 catches (53 targets) for a career-high 620 receiving yards and a career-low two touchdowns in 15 starts. Known as a slow healer, it wouldn't be a surprise if Watson's recovery lingers into the second half. In standard 12-team leagues this fall, Watson will most likely go undrafted.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers had five catches for 64 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He also found the end zone, bringing in a 45-yard toss from Drew Lock in the fourth quarter. The Giants are done until September. However, fantasy managers were likely satisfied with Nabers' overall statistical contributions, with the wideout ending his inaugural year by amassing 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. Without question, Nabers will see plenty of attention from fantasy managers heading into next season, although his outlook could improve even more if the Giants land a capable signal-caller during the offseason.
