ESPN Fantasy Football on Christian Watson
From the article
Watson dropped 32.3 points on the Bears, catching six of eight targets for 143 yards and two touchdowns. Watson had three receptions of 30 or more yards in this one, too, on vertical shots from quarterback Jordan Love.
STACKED’s take
Watson's 32.3-point Week 5 and deep-ball schedule support top-12 WR finish.
Watson will finish as a top-12 WR; he dropped 32.3 points in Week 5 against Chicago (6 of 8 targets, 143 yards, 2 TDs) with three receptions of 30+ yards on vertical shots from Jordan Love. He has scored 32+ points twice this season, demonstrating breakout week potential. With an upcoming schedule featuring Dallas, Detroit, and Carolina—three defenses that struggle defending the deep ball—Watson has more route tree branches including underneath throws, out cuts, boot concepts, and in-breakers. He's scored at least one TD in four of five games played and averages eight targets per game; if he stays healthy, his explosive play ability and end-zone scoring can turn decent volume into big-time numbers.
