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.

Quentin Johnston News
Sunday, September 13, 5:00 PM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston was an interesting start candidate given his plus matchup in Week 1. With Keenan Allen no longer in the mix, Johnston was expected to step into a larger role in the offense. Sadly for fantasy managers, Johnston wasn't able to live up to the hype on Sunday. The 25-year-old hauled in two of his six targets for 17 yards in the loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The good news is that Johnston was tied for second on the team with his six targets. The bad news is, he did basically nothing with it. Fellow wideout Ladd McConkey (chest) exited early during Sunday's loss. Johnston could be asked to take on a larger role in the passing game if McConkey isn't ready to go for Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
