From the article

Christian Watson had a monster day: 8 catches (on 10 targets) for 113 yards (+0.20 EPA per Reception). His target % in the red zone was 0%, which feels like a problem...Watson fits the bill as a freak WR, and he has had success in this area in the past. I'd like to see some more targets for Watson in this area going forward.

Watson dominates with 8/10 for 113 yards but gets zero red zone targets

Watson had a monster day with 8 catches on 10 targets for 113 yards and +0.20 EPA per Reception. However, his target share in the red zone was 0%, which the source identifies as a problem given Watson's elite receiver profile and past red zone success. The source advocates for more red zone targets for Watson going forward, noting the Packers rank 22nd in red zone TD scoring (51.7%) and lack a quick-twitch QB or strong run game to complement their freak WR.
