Christian Watson

Christian Watson returned to the lineup in Week 8 after tearing his ACL late into the 2024 season. Despite coming off a brutal injury, 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. With Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks gone, Green Bay enters 2026 with a surplus of vacated targets, representing a substantial opportunity opening that Watson is well-positioned to absorb if he can stay on the field.

Christian Watson was dressed but did not see the field on Sunday during the Packers' 16-3 loss to Minnesota in the final week of the regular season.

Fantasy Impact

Watson, along with most of Green Bay's regular starters, did not play on Sunday. He finishes the regular season with 35 catches for 611 yards and six touchdowns in 10 games. He will be back in the starting lineup next weekend for the Wild Card round of the postseason.
