Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Quentin Johnston

Thursday, September 21, 8:17 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday but was held out on Thursday, leading many to believe he suffered a setback with a lingering hamstring issue that he's been dealing with since the end of training camp. However, head coach Matt LaFleur said Watson didn't suffer a setback this week. He was a DNP on Thursday as part of the plan to hold Watson out after he was limited on Wednesday. It's good news, but it still doesn't mean Watson will make his 2023 debut in Week 3 on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. And if the 24-year-old is active Sunday, he may not see a full workload as the Packers look to ease him into the offense.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston only made one catch in a 27-24 overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. Johnston saw two targets, making the one catch for seven yards. The Chargers passing game spread the ball around to nine different targets, focusing on Keenan Allen and Mike Williams for eight catches each, not leaving much for any other pass catchers. Johnston has the talent to be a serious factor in the NFL, but fantasy managers will need to continue to be patient with him before they see consistent results.
