Christian WatsonWRGB
Watson is a strong WR2 with upside for more in 2026; Derek Brown projects him to benefit from increased target share and first-read share following the departures of Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks, with his role expanding from a 68% route share (56th among 109 qualifying receivers) to full-time status. Last season Weeks 8-18, Watson ranked fourth in yards per route run (2.67), tenth in first downs per route run (0.122), and sixth in fantasy points per route run among qualifying receivers, with an 18.2% target share and 23.9% first-read share; his ultra-efficiency per route should become more deadly with increased usage.
