Watson's upside hinges on Z receiver role deployment; benefits from Dobbs' presence.
Christian WatsonWR
Watson's best usage comes when operating as the Z receiver on the move rather than as a stationary X receiver; when paired with Romeo Dobbs (the sacrificial X), Watson averages 2.67 yards per route run and is targeted on 25% of routes versus 2.19 yards and 17% targeting when Dobbs is off field. The key to Watson's upside in 2024 is whether the Packers deploy him in the Z role that suits his skill set, which remains unclear heading into training camp.

Watson is at his best when he's not the stationary player, when he's on the move, he's the Z, he's off ball, and Dobbs is kind of that X receiver... I'm wondering which role Watson fits into this year... Watson, it looks like the X receiver compared to Reed and Golden for sure, but I don't know that that's the best use of him.
