Expert Note
View More NotesWelcome to WR1 territory, Mr. Watson. It's been a journey, but the second-round selection in the 2022 draft has finally reached his potential. After his career was derailed due to injuries, the hyper-athletic WR started to gain ground last season. Since then, he has kept getting better and isn't looking back. Sitting as the WR2 on the season so far, Watson has two games over 140 receiving yards, and six touchdowns in five games. The Packers are leaning into their two speedy receivers and are a big play factory. If given time to throw, Jordan Love has been launching bombs this year. This provides a decent floor for a hyper-efficient receiver like Watson. This week, they face the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. The Cowboys are allowing the fourth most explosive plays per game this season. Buckle up; there should be plenty of fireworks in this matchup on Sunday Night.
Player News
View More NewsChristian Watson hauled in six of his team-leading eight targets for a team-high 143 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 31-7 Week 5 win over the Chicago Bears.
Fantasy Impact
Watson has had a nose for the end zone to begin the season, hauling in one or more touchdowns in four of the first five games. The wideout remains a dynamic pass-catching option in a Green Bay passing attack looking for more consistent output, with a Week 6 contest against the Dallas Cowboys up next.
