Expert Note
View More NotesChristian Watson got the bag this offseason and should be considered the clear WR1 for the Green Bay Packers. Watson deserved the payday as he proved that he can handle this role last year. Last season, in Weeks 8-18, he was the WR21 in fantasy points per game with an 18.2% target share, 61.1 receiving yards per game, 2.67 yards per route run, a 23.9% first-read share, and 0.122 first downs per route run. His target share and first-read share should go up this season with Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks gone and Watson likely getting promoted into a full-time role. Last year, he was also held back by a 68% route share (56th out of 109 qualifying receivers). Jordan Love will be blitzed incessantly this week by Brian Flores, but that should work in Watson's favor. Last year, when Love was blitzed, Watson was tied for the team lead with a 26% target-per-route run rate while ranking second with a 21% first-read share and posting 2.60 yards per route run. Last year, Minny allowed the second-most yards per target and the third-most fantasy points per target to perimeter wide receivers. I expect Watson to shine in Week 1.

Fantasy Impact
Watson put together his best season on a per game basis in 2025 after coming back from an injury that forced him to miss the first seven weeks of the season. It’s quite a lot of money for a receiver who has been plagued with health issues and never had more than 620 receiving yards in a year. But to be fair to him, he averaged 13.2 PPR PPG in 2025 and he’s seen by many as a sleeper in 2026. This could certainly be the year he comes alive for the Packers offense.
