Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks are gone, freeing up additional targets for Watson, who is being treated as the alpha option in the receiver room... if his body holds up, he can become a fringe-WR1 in this offense.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBreakout

Watson positioned as alpha receiver with target upside from departures and run-game uncertainty.

Watson possesses all the tools for a major breakout entering his fifth season; Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks departures free up additional targets, positioning him as the alpha option in Green Bay's receiver room. Josh Jacobs' legal situation and MarShawn Lloyd's injury history will force the Packers into a more balanced offensive approach, increasing passing volume. Jordan Love proved capable as fantasy QB5 in 2023 with 4,159 yards and 32 touchdowns when given opportunity to sling the ball. Watson's best fantasy finish came as a rookie with 41/611/7 split; if his body holds up, he can become a fringe-WR1 in this offense, though injury history (hasn't played entire season since 2022) remains a concern.
