Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Tre Tucker

Tuesday, September 9, 9:08 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) has agreed to a one-year, $13.25 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The deal will keep Watson in Green Bay through 2026. Watson joined the Packers as a second-round pick from North Dakota State in 2022 and has since averaged around 13 games, 33 catches, 551 yards, and five touchdowns per season. After the 6-foot-4, 208-pound deep threat tore his right ACL in Week 18 last year, he opened this season on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. Watson will miss at least the Packers' first four games as a result. When he does return, Watson will be part of a crowded group of targets for quarterback Jordan Love. Even without Watson, the Packers still boast Romeo Doubs, first-round rookie Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks as their top four WRs. They also have a strong pass-catching tight end in Tucker Kraft.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker got his 2025 season started on the right foot with new quarterback Geno Smith running the offense in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots, and scored his first touchdown of the year. Tucker caught only two of three targets, but he averaged a robust 27 yards per reception to finish with 54 yards in the contest. The 24-year-old played 57 of a possible 63 offensive snaps as the clear WR2 behind Jakobi Meyers. Most weeks, Tucker will be a hard sell as a boom/bust flex play in fantasy, but he could have more sleeper appeal in Week 2 on Monday night against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers if target-hog tight end Brock Bowers (knee) cannot play -- Bowers has missed two practices already this week. In two games against L.A. last year, Tucker had five catches for 46 scoreless yards.
