The Packers wideout looked dominant on Sunday against what was one of the toughest defenses against wide receivers last year. He started things off with an 81-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the first quarter and proceeded to rack up 147 yards on six catches, with another TD from the two-yard line at the end of the first half.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBreakout

Watson's 8 targets, 147 yards, 2 TDs establish him as true WR1 in Green Bay.

Watson looked dominant on Sunday against one of the toughest defenses against wide receivers last year, starting with an 81-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the first quarter and racking up 147 yards on six catches with another TD from the two-yard line; he currently sits just behind Jalen Coker for the highest fantasy score at the position (29.7 points) and saw eight targets, a volume threshold he had only reached five times prior in his career; he appears to be the true WR1 in Green Bay, and combining his efficiency with WR1 volume is a terrifying prospect, though there remains some concern about week-to-week unpredictability in the receiving corps.
