ArticleFantasy Football Deep Dive on Christian Watson: The Packers' Clear WR1August 30, 2026

From the article

The departure of both Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks is going to have a massive impact... Watson will always be on the field in 12 personnel... Watson appears to be playing more of the 'Z' receiver role this season, which means more movement and designed looks.

Positive signalRole

Doubs and Wicks departures clear path for Watson to dominate 12 personnel and Z-receiver role.

With Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks departing, the Packers' WR rotation will condense significantly. Doubs led the team at 77% route rate and Wicks ran 50%, but five Green Bay receivers ran at least half the routes last season. Watson will now be a staple in 12 personnel (deployed 20 plays per game, sixth-most in football) and is shifting to the 'Z' receiver role with more motion and designed looks, positioning him for expanded usage.
