VideoWeek 8 Fantasy Football WR Rankings: Garrett Wilson boom week incoming?October 28, 2026

From the video

Christian Watson going against the Panthers been a little bit more quiet the last couple of weeks, but guys, we're still talking about the wide receiver six in PPR points per game this year... Watson has absolutely eviscerated zone this year. Fifth most yards per hour run against that cover specifically.

WR6 PPR average faces zone-heavy Panthers; elite zone-coverage metrics.

Ranked WR9 for Week 8 against Panthers. Despite quieter recent weeks, Watson is averaging WR6 in PPR points per game this season. Panthers run very zone-heavy defense and Watson has fifth-most yards per hour run against zone coverage specifically. Watson is one of only three players (with Golden and Boston) with 10+ targets on passes 25+ yards downfield, positioning him for Thursday night upside.
