ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been a frustrating player to own in fantasy football this year. Due to injuries, he's had three games where he's scored precisely zero points and just had his first game with double-digit fantasy points this season.

He's an excellent athlete but misses far too much time with injuries and has a ton of target competition. The Packers scheme in WRs Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, and Bo Melton, and the ball gets spread around quite often. Watson is not the upside play he was as a rookie.
That said, he's an injury or two away from a prominent role, and his speed gives him excellent big-play ability. While he's tough to trust as a weekly starter due to a lack of targets and difficulty making contested catches, he's a risky player to start. More consistent and higher targets would make him a much easier player to trust in lineups.
He should not be on waivers, though. Pick him up.
