BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 49% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back Christian Watson had what was easily his biggest game of the year against the Chicago Bears in Week 11. He caught all four of his targets for a massive 150 receiving yards. The problem with Watson remains the same this season -- target competition.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love attempted just 17 passes in the win -- the team opted to rush 25 times. It was an odd game script, but the target distribution still saw WR Romeo Doubs have two passes slung his way, with WR Jayden Reed getting two, Dontayvion Wicks seeing one look, and RB Josh Jacobs seeing three.
Watson is a very good big-play threat, but getting consistent fantasy value out of any of the Packers WRs is an uphill battle. They continue to spread the ball around among their playmakers, and high efficiency is much harder to replicate than volume.
He's worth having on rosters, but it's too difficult to predict when he'll have his big games to make him worth starting outside of deeper leagues.
