Watson's Week 1 hot streak masked low 19% target rate and Golden's emergence.

Watson ran hot in Week 1 against the Vikings, with 73 of his 147 receiving yards coming after the catch (one of the highest YAC rates of Week 1). More concerning: Watson was targeted on only 19 percent of his routes, while Matthew Golden led the Packers with a 26 percent target share and 30 percent first-read target rate. Watson's 30 percent air yards rate barely edged Golden's 28 percent. The source cautions that Watson's Week 1 performance was fueled partly by negative game script and should not be expected to repeat.
