Christian Watson Fantasy Football Outlook (ROS)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Mon, Dec 8th 2025, 9:50pm EST

Christian Watson led the Packers with 89 receiving yards and 2 receiving touchdowns on 4 receptions in a win over the Bears. Watson became just the fourth player in Packers history with 5+ receiving touchdowns in at least three of his first four career seasons, joining Hall of Famer Don Hutson (4 of 4), Antonio Freeman (3 of 4), and Max McGee (3 of 4). This marks the first time in Watson's career he has recorded 80+ receiving yards in back-to-back games (Next Gen Stats).
He has now recorded five touchdowns over the past four games. Against man coverage, Watson caught all three targets for 72 yards and both touchdowns. He now has four touchdowns against man coverage this season, tied for the 4th-most among wide receivers despite playing in just seven games.
Watson has been running RED HOT. WR16 in PPG since Week 8. However, he is performing well above expectations as the WR41 in XPPG. Again, just four targets in Week 14 with Reed back in the fold.
Eventually, the lack of true WR1 usage will burn Watson - and that's very much a possibility against the tough Broncos' defense in Week 15.
