Christian Watson News
Sunday, September 13, 9:22 AM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson should be in fantasy lineups Sunday against Minnesota. Watson enters Week 1 healthy and was not listed on Green Bay's injury report this week. He returned from a torn ACL in Week 8 last season and still finished with 35 catches for 611 yards and six touchdowns in 10 games, averaging 17.5 yards per reception. The target picture is cleaner now, too. Romeo Doubs left in free agency and Dontayvion Wicks was traded, leaving Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden as Green Bay's top three receivers. Minnesota was excellent against the pass last season, allowing only 2,694 passing yards and 15 touchdowns, so this is not a matchup-driven start. Watson's role and big-play ability are the reason to trust him. RotoBaller has him at WR22 for Week 1 and recommends him as a flex in all leagues and a WR2 in 12-team formats. He belongs in lineups.

Marvin Harrison Jr. News
Saturday, September 12, 5:59 AM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.'s injury-plagued 2025 season limited him to 12 games, which paved the way for Michael Wilson to erupt for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns. Wilson's breakout was rewarded with a recent three-year, $75 million extension. The strong investment suggests Harrison has been bumped down a peg in Arizona's hierarchy of pass-catchers. Still, Harrison is a viable option in fantasy football for Week 1. Arizona is a nine-point underdog to the Chargers in their season opener, and running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is a game-time decision, which could mean the Cardinals opt for a pass-heavy attack. Brissett showed us last year that he was not shy about airing it out, averaging 40.3 pass attempts per game in 10 starts. If he follows suit in Week 1, there may be enough to go around for Harrison to pay off, albeit with a limited ceiling. Given the uncertainty around his role, Harrison should be seen as a WR3/flex option in Week 1.
