Yahoo Fantasy Football on Christian Watson

Watson's 96th percentile efficiency and balanced target distribution ease concerns.

Watson posted a 96th percentile 3.87 Yards Per Route Run on a 20% target share in Week 1. The source's prior concern was that Watson would struggle to replicate Romeo Doubs' deep-ball dependency (48.1% of Doubs' yards came on 20+ air yard passes), but Watson proved more versatile: half his targets came in the short area of the field, and with Matthew Golden taking X-receiver looks, Watson can operate off the line of scrimmage or in the slot. If Aaron Rodgers has more time in the pocket, deeper shots should increase, but Watson's ability to produce across the field should boost confidence in his weekly consistency.
