From the article

The No. 5 wide receiver in fantasy scoring, not to mention No. 6 in yards after the catch per reception (6.5) and No. 4 in red-zone targets (7), Watson is sure scripting a brilliant breakthrough story. But he might find success tougher to come by against the Bears, a defense that has been exceptional against wide receivers over the past three weeks.

Bears' elite WR defense held Jefferson, Smith, and Wilson to 8.9 PPG; Watson faces fade.

Watson, the No. 5 wide receiver in fantasy scoring, No. 6 in yards after the catch per reception (6.5), and No. 4 in red-zone targets (7), faces the Bears, a defense that has been exceptional against wide receivers over the past three weeks. Justin Jefferson, DeVonta Smith, and Wilson averaged 22.3 routes, six targets, and 8.9 fantasy points against the Bears in that span, suggesting Watson may find success tougher to come by.
