News: 7 hours agoWatson caught three of eight targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Cowboys.

Spin: Watson was held without a touchdown for only the second time this season while tying tight end Tucker Kraft for second on the team in targets, five behind Matthew Golden. The wide receiver duo of Golden and Watson has accounted for the majority of Green Bay's offensive production this season. Watson needs just 82 receiving yards to match his career high of 620, which the oft-injured wideout set during the 2024 regular season. He'll have a nice opportunity to reach that mark in Week 7 against a Lions defense that has struggled in coverage.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Watson has had quite the boom/bust NFL career and that was on full display in 2025. After missing the first seven games due to injury, Watson returned and scored 18-plus fantasy points four times, but averaged 7.7 in his other six outings. The oft-injured 2022 second-round pick has still yet to play a full regular season, but has weirdly finished with between 611 and 620 receiving yards in three of his four campaigns. Though Watson has yet to deliver a top-40 fantasy season, he's been extremely efficient in his vertical role, ranking exactly second in average depth of target, YPR and YPT each of the last two seasons. Durability is an obvious concern, but the 27-year-old could very well lead Green Bay in targets following Romeo Doubs' departure. Watson should be valued as a volatile flex option with added value in non-PPR leagues.
