BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson gets a major fantasy downgrade in Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts because of the Jordan Love injury, which is forcing Malik Willis into the starting quarterback role for the Packers. That's bad news for Watson and the rest of Green Bay's pass catchers.
Willis has started three NFL games and has never passed for over 100 yards. He struggles with accuracy and his presence is likely to negatively impact the Packers wide receiver group to a major degree.
4. WR Christian Watson (GB): He was outplayed by Jayden Reed. Watson finished with just 13 yards and a TD. However, there was a lot to be encouraged by. QB Jordan Love is targeted Watson heavily in the redzone, just missing on a 2nd TD. Big games incoming! pic.twitter.com/m6INMSvL1d

In Week 1, Watson caught three of his five targets for 13 yards and a touchdown. He's a low-end WR4 play at best this week and isn't worth starting outside of 14-team leagues due to the risk involved. There are too many good receivers in this offense fighting for a piece of incredibly small pie with Willis under center.
