Who Should I Start? Zay Jones or Christian Watson

The Arizona Cardinals are re-signing wide receiver Zay Jones to a one-year, $4.4 million deal, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The 29-year-old signed with Arizona last May but was suspended for the team's first five games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Overall, he played in 11 contests and totaled eight receptions for 84 yards. In addition to the Cardinals, Jones has spent time with the Buffalo Bills, Las Vegas Raiders, and Jacksonville Jaguars during his eight-year NFL career. He has posted more than 600 receiving yards just once in his career, so it would be a surprise if he's on the fantasy football radar in 2025.

The Green Bay Packers officially placed wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, according to Packers.com writer Wes Hodkiewicz. This was always the expectation for Watson after he tore the ACL in his right knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale late last year, and now it's official. The move means that the 26-year-old will miss at least the first four games of the 2025 campaign despite the fact that he was getting glowing reviews during his rehab during training camp this summer. His first chance to make his season debut will come in Week 6 on Oct. 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals -- the Packers have a bye in Week 5. Green Bay is probably going to ease Watson back when he's ready, so fantasy managers in 12-team leagues can probably stay away for now, especially given the crowded nature of the team's receiving room.
