Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Malik Nabers

Friday, October 18, 6:30 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (ankle) turned in three limited practices this week and was removed from the Packers' injury report. He should be all set to suit up for Green Bay's game against the Houston Texans in Week 7. Watson returned to the lineup in Week 6 following an ankle injury that kept him out of Week 5's game with the Rams. He led the team with 68 receiving yards, catching 3-of-4 targets, plus a touchdown grab that capped off his afternoon. Watson's ankle is clearly being managed a bit more despite him taking 60% of snaps and 72% of routes per dropback last week, so with the stiff competition with Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Tucker Kraft, Dontayvion Wicks, and other pass-catchers for target, Watson will be in a tough spot to return consistent fantasy production each week. Still, as Watson is a big play waiting to happen, he should be considered a boom-or-bust WR3 with solid flex viability this week against the Texans.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers returned from a two-game absence due to a concussion in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Nabers caught four of eight targets for 41 yards, averaging 10.3 yards per reception, with a long of 14 yards, and started the game strong with a 13-yard catch on the first offensive play. Despite leading the team in receiving yards, Nabers couldn't find the end zone and was part of a lackluster Giants passing attack that totaled only 105 yards. He finished with 6.1 fantasy points.
