From the episode
I would rather have Golden Plus than Watson. But I know that the market is going to view Watson higher because Watson's a better player, right? I'm not trying to – because I don't want to discredit Christian Watson for what he's doing this year, man. He was one of my favorite receivers to draft him and Parker Washington. I wrote a wide receiver breakout article and those are the two guys I featured on it, right? Watson and Parker Washington. And so I don't love bringing him up here, but I thought that Hammy Takes brought up a lot of interesting points in Discord about, hey, like this is like prime time to sell because everybody wants Christian Watson, right? But like he doesn't even lead his team in targets. And I think that that matters, especially when you're looking at the raw passing volume. Is that going to come down potentially? The schedule after the Lions. Carolina, Patriots, Vikings. That's not nearly as fun as it's been the last couple weeks when it's been the Cowboys and the Detroit Lions.
STACKED’s take
Negative signalValue
Sell Watson now at peak value; doesn't lead team in targets and faces volume risk.
The source recommends selling Christian Watson now while the market views him highly, despite acknowledging Watson as a strong player and one of his favorite receivers to draft; the key concern is that Watson doesn't lead his team in targets, and with potential offensive changes (Josh Jacobs' return, schedule softening after the Lions), his target volume could decline; Tucker Craft is getting healthier, which could further reduce Watson's share; the source advocates getting 'a King's ransom' for Watson rather than selling at a discount.
