From the article

With the departures of Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks in the offseason, and a contract extension signed this June, it was pretty evident Watson would be cemented as the Packers #1 receiver this year. And, like a moth to a flame, QB Jordan Love found him again and again during Sunday's game.

Watson cemented as Packers #1 after departures; Love targeting him repeatedly.

With Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks departing in the offseason and Watson signing a contract extension in June, he is cemented as the Packers' #1 receiver. QB Jordan Love targeted him repeatedly throughout the game, finding him downfield consistently. Watson's hands have become extremely reliable, and he is tough to beat downfield.
