Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Christian Watson

Monday, September 25, 12:08 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams caught 13 of 19 targets for 172 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the team's 23-18 loss to the Steelers on Sunday night. Adams routinely found holes in the Pittsburgh defense leading to a 43% target share on the night, including an athletic first-quarter 32-yard touchdown reception in double coverage. The 30-year-old has now tallied 36 targets in three games and continues to be a locked and loaded WR1. Adams faces off with the Chargers and their porous pass defense next week.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Thursday night's divisional showdown against the Detroit Lions, will make his season debut, barring an unexpected setback, according to a source. It's not a huge surprise after he told reporters he had "planned" to play earlier this week. The 24-year-old had an impressive nine touchdowns as a rookie in 14 games in 2022, so his return will be a big lift for quarterback Jordan Love and Green Bay's offense. The Packers could also be getting top RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) back from a hammy injury of his own, so the offense should be at close to full strength, minus some key offensive linemen up front. Watson has WR2 upside when healthy, but he'll be extra risky in his first start this year with the chance he's eased into the offense.
