Watson is continuing to work his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 18 of last season. “Everything so far has been really good," Gutekunst said. "He’s been through this before, so he knows what to expect. It’s a big injury. It may take some time, but he’s got the right mindset, positive attitude toward it.” Watson is unlikely to be on the fantasy radar in 2025.

It's a tough blow to the talented pass catcher. It looked like he finally got past the many injuries that had been nagging him since the start of his career. Sadly though, a lengthy recovery process looms over Watson, and it's likely we won't see him return to the Packers lineup until near the end of 2025. He ends the 2024 NFL season with 29 receptions for 620 yards, a ridiculous 21.4 yards per reception, and two scores.
