Scouting report

GB WR Christian Watson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Los Angeles Rams
Christian Watson only managed three catches and 48 yards in Week 14, but he managed to score yet another touchdown which puts him at seven over his last four games. Needless to say, Watson will eventually feel some regression in the touchdown department, but he also has not seen fewer than six targets in that same span after topping out at four prior to Week 10. Watson and the Packers take on the Rams in LA this week, and while the Rams are reeling from injuries on the offensive side of the ball, they still boast a talented defense that has been above average against opposing wide receivers. Despite the matchup, Watson is a worthy fantasy starter given his recent red zone usage.

GB WR Christian Watson - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Chicago Bears
Christian Watson's rookie season has been a slow burn, but his potential has been on display the last three weeks with three straight finishes as a WR1 in fantasy. Watson is now at six touchdowns over that span and has broken the 100-yard mark twice. The Bears are about average when it comes to slowing down opposing receivers, and it looks like Aaron Rodgers is set to play in Week 13 despite a broken thumb and taking a hard shot to the ribs last week. Watson has clearly proven himself worthy of a large target share with his recent play, and he makes for a good starting option on the road in Chicago this week.

GB WR Christian Watson - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Philadelphia Eagles
Christian Watson is making some serious noise in fantasy circles lately with five touchdowns on his last eight receptions over the course of two games. Before anointing Watson the next Cooper Kupp, realize that his current touchdown rate is completely unsustainable, although it does appear that the Packers are making a concerted effort to utilize him in the red zone. Watson's recent production can't be ignored, and he has clearly earned some additional opportunities in the Green Bay offense. That being said, the Packers get a difficult matchup against the Eagles' pass defense this week and Watson's absurd touchdown rate will likely take a hit on the road in Philly. While it would be unreasonable to expect multiple touchdowns from Watson again this week, it is no longer unreasonable to consider him as a WR3 play given what we've seen him do in recent weeks.

GB WR Christian Watson - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Tennessee Titans
Christian Watson has had a slow rookie year to this point but saw a huge bump in usage in Week 10 when he played 85% of the Packers' offensive snaps and saw eight targets. He caught four balls for 107 yards and three touchdowns to finish as the weekly WR3 in fantasy. The performance should do wonders for Watson's confidence and Aaron Rodgers' trust in him as a go-to receiver. It would be shortsighted to expect WR1 usage for Watson every week moving forward, but his bump in playing time and exciting performance in Week 10 cannot be ignored. He gets a great matchup in Week 11 against the Titans poor pass defense, and should be picked up in any league he's sitting on the waiver wire for flex consideration.
