Fantasy Life Articles on Christian Watson
From the article
Dontayvion Wicks and Romeo Doubs are no longer on the roster, and no replacements of a similar caliber have been added... Watson has been above 2.20 YPRR in three of his four seasons so far... The Packers gave him a major vote of confidence with a big contract extension this offseason.
STACKED’s take
Thinned WR room and contract extension position Watson for career-high routes and efficiency.
Dontayvion Wicks and Romeo Doubs departed Green Bay with no similar-caliber replacements added, creating a clear top-three WR room for the first time in years. Watson has the size-speed combination of a prototypical WR1 and has been above 2.20 YPRR in three of four seasons; injuries have limited his playing time. Despite returning in Week 8 after an ACL tear, Watson set a career-high YPRR and came close to career-highs in receptions and receiving yards. With another offseason to recover and a thinned-out WR room, he is positioned to set a career high in routes run—likely above 450 routes (he has never reached 300 in the regular season). The Packers' major contract extension signals confidence in increased playing time, and with his efficiency, any significant bump in routes should translate to substantial fantasy points.
