FantasyPros Articles on Christian Watson
From the article
Watson was excellent last season after coming back from an ACL tear at the end of the 2024 season. He played 10 regular-season games and averaged 17.5 yards per catch, 11.1 yards per target, and 2.28 yards per route run. He produced at a 1,000-yard, 10-touchdown pace.
STACKED’s take
Watson's sixth-round ADP undervalues his top-15 upside and improved role.
Watson is a high-upside target worth pursuing despite extensive injury history (20 games missed in four NFL seasons). Last season after ACL tear recovery, he played 10 regular-season games and averaged 17.5 yards per catch, 11.1 yards per target, and 2.28 yards per route run, producing at a 1,000-yard, 10-touchdown pace. At 6-foot-4, 208 pounds with 4.36 speed and high-quality QB Jordan Love, Watson benefits from Packers parting ways with WRs Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks (more snaps/targets available). Green Bay ranked 31st and 22nd in pass rate over expected the last two years, so an uptick in pass rate could further benefit Watson. Risk aversion typically drops him into the sixth round of 12-team drafts, which is appealing value for a player capable of being a top-15 receiver if healthy.
