Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson gave his Packers fans and his fantasy managers something to cheer about on Thanksgiving Day, as he hauled in four of his 10 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown. The 10 targets were the most he has seen all season, and with the Packers desperately looking for a No. 1 wide receiver to help out sixth-year quarterback Jordan Love, Watson stepped up in a big way in Week 13. Wastson started the season on the Injured Reserve; however, since being activated in Week 8, he has produced 363 receiving yards, hauled in 21 receptions, and scored three touchdowns. As the weeks have progressed, and Watson has continued to ramp up, he has become the clear go-to target for Love with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the rest of the season. If Watson is on your waiver wire, he is a must-add in all formats and can be started in your lineups moving forward as a low-end WR2/flex play. Outside of a Week 15 matchup with the Denver Broncos, he gets some solid matchups against the Chicago Bears and the Baltimore Ravens for the rest of the fantasy season.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson secured four of his 10 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in a 31-24 win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Watson had the longest play of the game with a 51-yard touchdown on a beautiful deep ball from Jordan Love in the third quarter. The 26-year-old continues to thrive since returning in Week 7, totaling 21 receptions for 363 yards and three touchdowns on 34 targets, averaging 12.6 PPR points per game. The 2022 second-round pick has operated as Green Bay's WR1 recently, leading the team in routes run over the past three weeks and clearly being their best downfield threat. Watson could have had a bigger day on Thursday, but had a few tough drops. Still, it was another strong outing for Watson, and he projects favorably for the rest of the season.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been front and center for the Packers in their passing game as of late, and he looks to keep that up in the Packers' Week 13 game against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Last week against the Minnesota Vikings, Watson led the Packers in targets with seven and paced the passing game production with a five-catch, 49-yard stat line. Watson has also led the Packers in air yards over the last three games, showing the intent from head coach and playcaller Matt LaFleur and Packers quarterback Jordan Love to get the ball downfield. Detroit allows the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing receivers and is a man-based defense that was just shredded by Wan'Dale Robinson's 9-157-1 line this past Sunday for the Giants. For fantasy purposes, Watson should be considered a high-upside WR3 for Week 13.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has seen his involvement in the Packers' offense and the intent to get him high-leverage targets grow in the last few weeks. In Week 11 against the New York Giants, Watson caught two touchdown passes. Last week against the Vikings, Watson led the Packers in targets with seven, and paced the passing game production with a five-catch, 49-yard stat line. Watson has also led the Packers in air yards over the last three games, showing the intent from head coach and playcaller Matt LaFleur and Packers' quarterback Jordan Love to get the ball downfield, and when they do, prioritizing getting the ball to Watson. When Watson gets an opportunity, it's more often than not going to be in a high-leverage situation, which is great for fantasy managers as he's seemingly supplanted Romeo Doubs as the top receiver for the Packers. Against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, who give up the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing receivers and are a man-based defense that was just shredded by Wan'Dale Robinson's 9-157-1 line this past Sunday, Watson should be a high-upside WR3 for Week 13.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson didn't have a huge day in the team's Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but he led the Packers in receiving in the convincing 23-6 victory. Watson led the team in targets (seven), receptions (five), and receiving yards (49). He didn't make his season debut until Week 8 while recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 18 of last year, but he has slowly developed into quarterback Jordan Love's most trusted option through the air. The 26-year-old former second-rounder has seen at least four targets in each of his five games this year, and he has caught at least four passes in three of those contests. Watson had a season-high 85 receiving yards in his debut back on Oct. 26, and he found the end zone twice in last week's win over the Giants. His target share could take a hit whenever Jayden Reed (shoulder, foot) returns from IR, but at the very least, Watson deserves to be rostered as an explosive deep threat. He's still rostered in fewer than 50% of Yahoo leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was very productive in Week 11 and looks to keep that run going when the Packers welcome the Minnesota Vikings for an NFC North divisional showdown in Week 12. Watson scored two touchdowns and caught 4-of-5 targets for 46 yards in the Packers' Week 11 win against the New York Giants. With Watson running at least 80 percent of routes per dropback in his last two games, he is fully entrenched as a top-two target on this Packers team. Also worth noting is Watson leading the Packers in first-read target share (33.3 percent) and first downs (4), so there has been intent to get Watson involved with target-earning as well. With Watson facing the Minnesota Vikings, Watson is a solid flex play with plenty of upside in Week 12.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) was listed as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. This comes as no surprise given the Packers have been cautious with Watson since he returned to the field a few weeks ago. Watson returned in Week 8 after recovering from a torn ACL from last year. He posted his best game of the season last week when he hauled in four of his five targets for 46 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the New York Giants. Fantasy managers shouldn't have anything to worry about as Watson being limited is likely just a precaution. The Packers wideouts are extremely banged up right now, so Watson could be looking at a heavy workload in Week 12.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson could be set up for a few weeks as the team's top pass-catcher before the potential return of Jayden Reed (collarbone/foot) from IR. In his growing role, he makes a nice addition if he's on the waiver wire in your leagues. The fourth-year receiver from North Dakota State missed the first seven weeks of the season but has played four straight games, logging multiple receptions and over 40 yards in each contest. On Sunday, he scored his first two touchdowns of the year to help power the Packers past the Giants. Watson and the Packers have tough receiver matchups against the Vikings and Lions in the next two weeks, but then he has three favorable matchups in the last four weeks of the fantasy season against the Bears twice and the Ravens.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson broke out in a big way during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Watson has been held in check during his first few games, but finally found the end zone this past weekend. The 26-year-old hauled in four of his five targets for 46 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Given the Packers current injuries, Watson could be an interesting waiver wire addition this week. The expectation is that Watson's role on the team will grow as time goes on. He should offer at least flex value for the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
