STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Watson positioned for increased route participation with Doubs/Wicks departures.

Watson has a clear path to increased playing time in 2026 with Romeo Doubs leaving in free agency, the Packers trading Dontayvion Wicks, and a lack of meaningful receiver additions in the offseason. Josh Shepardson states that 'If Watson's route participation ticks up, the Packers run more plays or both, Watson has a straightforward path to finishing as a WR1 in 2026.' Matt Harmon and Nate Tice speculated the Packers might play at a faster tempo in 2026, which could further increase play volume.
