Who Should I Start? Zay Jones or Christian Watson

Tuesday, October 14, 9:20 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones had by far his most productive game of the season in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts, recording five catches for 79 yards on eight targets. Jones had hauled in just five catches for 37 yards on seven targets across four games heading into Week 6. The 30-year-old's production against Indianapolis was buoyed by the absence of Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion), who exited Week 6 early due to a concussion. With Harrison Jr.'s status for Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers in question, Jones could once again be called upon to play a larger role in his team's offense. Pending Harrison Jr.'s availability, Jones could be a deep-league waiver wire option as a short-term fill-in at the wide receiver position.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) will not play in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but head coach Matt LaFleur said he's looked "pretty damn good" and that he's "excited for when that day comes," according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. The Packers aren't going to rush Watson back after he tore his ACL in the Week 18 regular-season finale last year. The 26-year-old returned to practice for the first time this year on Wednesday and has been limited this week. Depending on how much Watson is able to do next week in practice, it's possible he'll officially be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list to make his debut in Week 7 versus the Arizona Cardinals. Watson has had trouble staying healthy early in his NFL career and will be returning to a crowded receiving corps, but he has the potential to be an explosive deep threat for the Packers' offense when everything is right.
