Positive signalProjection

Watson over 4.5 receptions; 7th in NFL targets with 11 last week against weak Atlanta D.

Watson has been the bright spot for Green Bay's offense through two games, ranking seventh in the NFL in total targets (19), with 11 coming in Sunday's win against the Jets. In the season opener, Watson finished with six catches for 148 yards and two touchdowns. The source targets Watson over 4.5 receptions at -138 odds on FanDuel, citing Atlanta's weak defense that allowed Bryce Young to throw for 287 yards and three touchdowns, plus the fact that Green Bay's offensive line injuries will force Love to get the ball out quickly to receivers via shorter routes. Atlanta cornerback A.J. Terrell was placed on IR with a groin injury, giving Watson even more confidence.
