ESPN Fantasy Football on Christian Watson
From the article
Watson has yet to draw more than 66 targets in a season, as injuries have regularly rendered him unavailable. When on the field, however, Watson has shined as a premium deep threat who can win all over the formation.
STACKED’s take
Watson's target upside and deep-threat profile offer WR1 potential at 10th-round ADP.
Watson signed a four-year, $110.5 million extension with Green Bay, signaling a hefty investment. With 130+ targets vacated via Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks departures, Watson figures to exceed his previous career high of 5.9 targets per game. He possesses 96th percentile speed (4.36 40-yard dash) and a 23.5-yard average TD length, pairing well with QB Jordan Love's aggressive deep-throw rate (paced all qualified QBs since 2023). After returning from ACL tear in late October, Watson posted 18.3% target share (WR31), 13.2 fantasy points per game (WR21), and six receiving scores (T-WR5) from Weeks 8-17. He averages 14.9 fantasy points per game when drawing six or more looks. JJ Zachariason notes the upside is undeniable and the volatility is baked into his 10th-round ADP.
