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.
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 catches, 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.
Watson caught six of eight targets for 147 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.
Everyone sharing the ball with Christian, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
Watson broke free down the sideline for an 81-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter and added a two-yard touchdown catch to give the Packers a 19-10 lead with 14 seconds left in the first half. The Vikings dominated the second half as Green Bay's offense went quiet. Jordan Love threw the ball 42 times, and Watson could benefit if the Packers continue to employ pass-heavy game plans during the indefinite absence of starting running back Josh Jacobs (personal), who is on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Watson finished second on the team in targets Sunday behind Matthew Golden (12). The Packers will try to put this second-half collapse behind them in a Week 2 road game against the Jets.
The WRs priced immediately above and below him.
