Both are true vertical threats, and both took advantage of a struggling Dallas secondary last week, combining for nine catches, 168 yards, and a touchdown. Golden led the Packers with 104 receiving yards last week, and with Watson posting 143 yards against Chicago the week before, Green Bay has two receivers capable of a big game on any given Sunday.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Watson's 143-yard game last week sets up well against Detroit's worst-in-league secondary.

Watson and Matthew Golden have combined for 48% of the Packers' targets and 62% of receiving yards. Both are true vertical threats; Watson posted 143 yards against Chicago in Week 6. Against Detroit's secondary, which lacks coverage talent and has cornerbacks who have struggled badly downfield, Watson is positioned for a big game. D.J. Reed is in the middle of the worst season of his career, and the cornerbacks around him are journeymen who have been beaten consistently.
