Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Malik Nabers

Thursday, December 26, 3:52 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) will miss a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Watson injured his left knee in Monday night's win over the New Orleans Saints and is now looking very iffy to suit up in Week 17 versus the division-rival Vikings in Minnesota on Sunday. The 25-year-old is already a very shaky WR4/flex play to begin with in Green Bay's crowded receiving room, but on top of it, the Packers play in the late window on Sunday. At best, Watson will probably end up with a questionable tag if he's able to return to the practice field on Friday. Watson is only dealing with a bruise in his knee, but the team could play it safe with him so that they'll have the oft-injured wideout fully healthy for the playoffs. If Watson is out or limited on Sunday, it will mean more upside for the likes of Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe), who is missing a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday, said he's going to try and get back on the field for Friday's practice. However, Nabers is calling himself a "gameday decision" for Sunday's contest against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17. The 21-year-old first-rounder out of LSU will probably be questionable, at best, this weekend, but a return to practice on Friday would make him much more likely to suit up for fantasy managers in championship week in most leagues. Despite a messy quarterback situation in New York for all of Nabers' rookie season, he's currently three receptions shy of 100 in 2024 and has maintained must-start status in fantasy when he's active. If Nabers doesn't get the green light to play on Sunday, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton would be the Giants' top receivers for quarterback Drew Lock.
