Christian Watson Takes Backseat to Several Teammates in Win

Sunday, October 4, 6:39 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson had a relatively quiet performance during Sunday's Week 4 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Watson finished the victory with a very modest three catches for 47 yards. The 27-year-old posted new season-low marks in targets, catches, and yards, and this was also his first game of 2026 without a touchdown. He actually led the Packers in receiving yards, but he had fewer catches than tight end Tucker Kraft and running back MarShawn Lloyd. He was also out-produced by fellow wide receiver Matthew Golden, who caught three of seven targets for 21 yards and a touchdown. We don't expect Watson to post too many more duds like this one, but that doesn't eliminate the fact that this was an incredibly disappointing result for fantasy managers. Fortunately, he has the capability to bounce back as a high-end WR2 or low-end WR1 against the Chicago Bears in next week's divisional battle.

Xavier Worthy More Of A Dart Throw In Week 4

Friday, October 2, 11:22 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 4. Worthy's performance in the 24-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins last week raised more concerns than optimism for his future performances. Worthy reeled in two catches for 20 yards on two targets in the contest. Despite the easy matchup, the third-year wideout finished with fewer yards and targets than Noah Gray in Week 3. Worthy will now have to face a tough Raiders defense in a matchup of two undefeated AFC West teams. Worthy will be involved in this week's matchup, but just how involved he will be is anyone's guess. Worthy is ranked WR60 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a deep league flex option. Fantasy managers suffering from injuries may have to throw Worthy into lineups, but in most cases, there should be better options available.
