Christian Watson News
Wednesday, March 25, 4:16 PM
As long as he can stay healthy, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson will be a popular breakout candidate in fantasy football in 2026 in his fifth year in the NFL. Watson has yet to play in more than 15 games in a season due to injuries since being drafted in the second round in 2022 out of North Dakota State. The 26-year-old played in just 10 regular-season games in 2025 after recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered late in 2024, but he still ended up being a top-50 fantasy wideout. Watson excelled as a top playmaker for Green Bay upon his return from Injured Reserve, catching 35 of his 55 targets for 611 yards and six touchdowns. He finished second on the team in catches, targets, and receiving yards to Romeo Doubs, who is now in New England. Tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) will be returning from a torn ACL, and second-year wideout Matthew Golden will have a bigger role, but all signs point to Watson being the projected clear receiving leader in 2026 if he's healthy. Watson's big-play ability (17.0 yards per catch in his career) will make him a high-risk/high-reward WR2 in fantasy drafts later this year.

Pat Bryant News
Tuesday, March 17, 5:00 PM
Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant saw his snap count and target share spike down the stretch of his 2025 rookie season, and although he exited both of Denver's playoff games due to injury, he was a clear and early focal point of both game plans. Heading into his sophomore season, he had been pegged as a popular breakout candidate, but following the Broncos' trade for former first-round pick Jaylen Waddle on Tuesday, he may be trending toward a depth role in 2026. Including Bryant, the Broncos now have seven players on the roster who saw at least 45 targets in 2025 and none who topped 120, making it a difficult offensive environment to stand out in and one that could look drastically different from week to week, depending on game plan and opponent.
