Watson is being priced as if he's going to do something he has never done before: Earn underneath targets. Meanwhile, the team has other options to handle those looks. Watson's 18.6 aDOT ranked second in the NFL last year, behind only Alec Pierce.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Watson's elite aDOT profile makes him unlikely to earn the underneath targets priced in.

Watson is overpriced at WR28 as if he will earn underneath targets for the first time in his career. His 18.6 aDOT ranked second in the NFL last year, behind only Alec Pierce, and he has posted a target depth above 18 in back-to-back seasons. The only player in the past decade to top 900 yards with an aDOT over 18 is Alec Pierce; Matthew Golden and Reed have similar or better target depths and have been more productive to date, making them better options for the Packers' intermediate role.
