Watson's 1,000-yard pace and concentrated target share offer special upside if healthy.

Christian WatsonWR

Watson has the potential to be special in 2026. He was excellent last season after coming back from an ACL tear at the end of 2024, averaging 17.5 yards per catch, 11.1 yards per target and 2.28 yards per route run in 10 regular-season games, producing at a 1,000-yard, 10-touchdown pace. There should be increased target opportunities for Watson in 2026; the Packers are moving to a core three of Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden after rotating four or five receivers in recent years. Watson is 6-foot-4, 208 pounds with 4.36 speed and has a high-quality quarterback in Jordan Love. If Green Bay throws more this season and targets are more concentrated among fewer receivers, Watson investors could reap handsome rewards. His current cost assumes he'll miss a few games, so a season of good health could yield significant upside.
