Christian Watson Week 4 Outlook - Lions at Packers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 28th 2023, 1:05pm EDT

Watson is set to return in Week 4. He didn't practice on Monday, but he did manage a limited practice on Tuesday. Watson should have a field day against Detroit's zone coverage (65-66% of their corner's snaps). Last year, after he was a full-time starter in the offense, Watson had a 17.8% Target share, a 38.1% air yard share, and a 22.9% first-read share (2.70 YPRR). Green Bay is notoriously careful with injuries, so if Watson is active, I'm treating him like he'll be a full go. Watson will run about t67% of his routes against Cameron Sutton and Jerry Jacobs. Note that it's reported he will be on a pitch count this week in his return, potentially limiting his upside. Week 4 Positional Value: WR2/3
