Christian Watson
2025 Season Outlooks
Watson tore his ACL in Week 18 of the 2024 season and is a serious question mark for the 2025 season. Once he's healthy he will have to battle Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, and Dontayvion Wicks for targets and playing time in a crowded Packers WR room. Watson's career 9.6 yards per target is elite, but injuries and the Packers' philosophy of spreading the ball around have mitigated his weekly upside. He's likely only worth a draft spot if he starts the year on PUP and your league has multiple IR spots you can use to stash him. It is more likely he spends the season on your waiver than contributes to your Fantasy team.
Watson is entering his fourth year with the Packers, but he's unlikely to return before midseason after suffering a torn ACL in Week 18 of last season. The injury is yet another setback for a player who has missed 13 regular season games, including, at least, two all three years. Even when healthy, the 2022 second-round pick has failed to live up to his pedigree, having yet to produce a top-30 fantasy campaign. He's all but settled in as a situational deep threat, ranking second in aDOT each of the last two seasons. On the plus side, Watson ranked second among receivers in YPT (11.5) and YPR (21.4) last season, which allowed a career-high 620 receiving yards. Perhaps a healthy Watson will eventually find his way back to fantasy relevance, but the 26-year-old is well off the radar in 2025.
