WR35 in targets per route run is the standout metric here, imo I'm very curious what Christian Watson's role will be this year. His aDOT is wildly high (17 yards downfield) over the past two seasons. If the Packers funnel more short-area YAC targets, Mr. YPRR go brrrrrr 🏎️💨PositiveUsageSep 1, 2026
One interesting nugget I found when digging into Christian Watson's data profile is that his red zone involvement has taken a downturn. Watson's target per route run rate in the red zone: 33% - Years 1 and 2 18% - Years 3 and 4 We're dealing with small sample sizes. Might be nothing. If Josh Jacobs is going to miss time, I am very curious who is going to step up as a red zone weapon for this team.PositiveUsageSep 1, 2026
