From the article

He was on the field for three quarters of the snaps, a notable bump over his career mark of 63%. The eight targets were more than usual — it's just the sixth time in his career Watson has made it to that number. Jordan Love targeted his receivers at the second-highest rate in Week 1, and the Green Bay running backs were essentially ignored in the passing game (two targets, zero catches).

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Watson's 6-147-2 line backed by 75% snap share and elite receiver target rate; set-and-forget upside.

Watson posted a 6-147-2 line in Week 1 with especially encouraging usage trends: he was on the field for three quarters of snaps (a notable bump over his 63% career mark), received eight targets (just the sixth time in his career), and benefited from Jordan Love targeting receivers at the second-highest rate in Week 1 while Packers running backs were essentially ignored (two targets, zero catches). Watson's historical hurdles—a pesky WR platoon (now shelved) and consistent injuries—appear cleared, positioning him as a set-and-forget option if the Packers stay aggressive to offset a mediocre defense.
