Packers' Christian Watson: Paces team in receiving yards
Rotowire
Watson secured all three targets for 47 yards in the Packers' 17-14 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Watson led the Packers in receiving yards on an afternoon when Jordan Love threw for only 197 yards. The speedy wideout's reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all season lows, but Watson has still enjoyed a productive start to the campaign with a 20-331-4 line on 32 targets and good health throughout. Watson and the Packers' air attack as a whole will look for a boost in production at the expense of the division-rival Bears in a Week 5 home matchup next Sunday.
Packers' Christian Watson: Team-high catch tally in loss
Rotowire
Watson brought in seven of 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.
Watson led the Packers in receptions while finishing as the runner-up in receiving yards and targets to Matthew Golden. Watson recorded a 34-yard grab among his six receptions, and he opened the scoring on the night with a four-yard touchdown reception just before the five-minute mark of the first quarter. Watson has at least four receptions, along with 284 total receiving yards and four touchdowns, across his first three games, keeping his fantasy appeal high heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 4.
Packers' Christian Watson: Three TD catches through two games
Rotowire
Watson caught four of 11 targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets.
Watson and Jordan Love struggled to get on the same page for much of the game but connected for a three-yard touchdown with 7:58 left in regulation as the Packers erased a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit. The 27-year-old wide receiver has scored three touchdowns on a team-high 19 targets through two games ahead of Thursday's home tilt against the Falcons. Watson is likely to see heavy involvement again in Week 3, especially since the Packers will probably be without fellow WR Jayden Reed (neck).
