STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Watson should find openings vs. Panthers with Horn out and Green Bay's secondary tested.

Watson should find openings on the outside against Carolina, as the Panthers' top cornerback Jaycee Horn is on IR. The Packers' pass defense ranks 5th in EPA per dropback but will be tested by Carolina's play-action heavy offense (31.5% of dropbacks).
