After missing the first three games of the season due to a hamstring injury, Christian Watson began to find his feet with the Green Bay Packers. The 24-year-old receiver has scored four touchdowns in his last three games, and the Packers are now on a three-game winning streak.
Unfortunately, Watson suffered another injury during Week 13's 27-19 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. It was a hamstring issue, which the wideout aggravated in the fourth quarter.

Christian Watson Injury Update for Fantasy Football
As per the reports, Christian Watson has avoided a serious hamstring injury. More clarity on his status will be provided as we head closer to the game, but there is optimism that he will not be placed on the IR.
The Packers will play the Giants in Week 14, and they may not risk rushing Watson back. Since the entire team is playing quite well, Jordan Love and other players should be able to get the job done even without their star wide receiver.
With their Week 13 victory over the Chiefs, the Packers have put themselves in a strong position to make the playoffs. Watson should be able to contribute later in the season.
Christian Watson Fantasy Football Outlook
In nine games this season, Watson has 28 catches for 422 yards and has scored five touchdowns on 53 targets. He is averaging 15.1 yards per reception and 46.9 yards per game. In the game against the Chiefs, the North Dakota State product had seven receptions for 71 yards and two touchdowns.
Similar to last season, the Packers' second-year receiver came alive in the second half of the campaign. He has recorded a total of 87.3 points in half-PPR scoring leagues this season while averaging 9.7 points per game.
His injury is a big blow for the Packers as well as for all the fantasy football managers who had him on their team. However, he might return in time to help managers in the playoffs.
