From the article

Watson motions pre-snap into an insert position. In this YY Wing formation, that puts him under the line between the two TEs. This is something the Packers do a lot as part of their run game, and Watson's strengths as a blocker put him in that position quite a bit. It's a way to give the offense an extra blocker at the point of attack.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Watson's insert blocker role adds versatility to Packers' run and play-action game.

Watson's versatility extends beyond his primary outside receiver role (75% of snaps); he also lines up in insert blocker positions as part of the Packers' run game and play-action passing concepts, allowing the offense to deploy him as an extra blocker at the point of attack while maintaining his ability to slip into open space on play-action passes.
