Christian Watson returned to the lineup in Week 8 after tearing his ACL late into the 2024 season. Despite coming off a brutal injury, Watson was electric. He supplanted Romeo Doubs as the WR1 in the Packers' offense. Watson was the WR17 in PPG (11.5) to go with a 34% air yard share (over 1,000 air yards). Hit career highs in yards and yards per route run. Never saw fewer than four targets in any contest. Watson led the NFL with 294 deep receiving yards once coming back from his injury.
