From the episode

What if Christian Watson isn't the deep threat anymore? What if they put Matthew Golden in that role to really stretch the field and they let Christian Watson run around a little bit more underneath where he doesn't have a 17 average depth of target

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Role uncertainty: Watson may shift from deep threat to underneath routes if Golden takes over.

The source expresses concern about Watson's role evolution in the Packers offense. While Watson averaged 17 yards depth of target in 2024, the source worries that the team may shift him to underneath routes (like drag routes) and move Matthew Golden into the deep-threat role. This role change could reduce Watson's big-play upside, though the source notes it could also provide more consistent 'layup' opportunities similar to what Jameson Williams experienced with the Lions.
