Watson's 20% target share and WR12 Week 1 points set up clean Jets matchup with missing secondary.

Watson and Matthew Golden are near full-time players for the Packers, soaking up 20% and 30% of targets respectively. Watson hit the gas on an in-cut for an 81-yarder, then had a manufactured target at the goal line for a second score, leading to WR12 expected half-PPR points in Week 1. He's a model breaker. The Packers' OL can't run block and their RBs can't hit the hole, so they opted to be eighth in neutral pass rate (60%) and second in neutral pace. The Jets defense is missing star players in the secondary and Watson will face boom-bust CBs AZ Thomas and Brandon Stephens on the perimeter, with the Packers projected for 24.0 points (13th).
