Should I Drop Christian Watson? Fantasy Football Outlook For Week 10

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been one of the most frustrating players in fantasy football. The third-year receiver has massive talent.

However, he has struggled with injuries. Furthermore, Watson has struggled with consistency, having a massive fantasy performance one week and zero points the following week.

Should I Drop Christian Watson?

Watson is the WR76 for the year, averaging 5.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He ranks fourth on the team in fantasy points per game behind Jayden Reed (12.8), Romeo Doubs (8.5), and Dontayvion Wicks (5.7). Last week, the third-year wide receiver struggled to connect with Jordan Love, catching only three of seven targets.

Unfortunately, Watson has scored fewer than 8.9 fantasy points in all but one game this season, including three consecutive contests. The veteran wide receiver has had 15 targets over the past three weeks, averaging only 4.7 fantasy points per game.

Fantasy players can drop Watson with the Packers having their bye in Week 10. Furthermore, his schedule out of the bye week is awful.

Who Can I Add Off The Waiver Wire?

The Los Angeles Chargers passing attack is starting to click after a slow start. Quentin Johnston has become a reliable target for Justin Herbert, averaging 4.5 targets per game this year. More importantly, the second-year wide receiver has averaged 10.3 fantasy points per game, scoring 11.4 or more in half of his contests.

Last week, Johnston had four receptions on five targets for 118 receiving yards and 20 fantasy points, setting season-highs in yards and fantasy points. He also scored his fourth touchdown this year in the win over the Cleveland Browns.

Johnston has had five or more targets in four games this season, including last week. The former TCU star has averaged 11.7 fantasy points per game in those four contests. He should continue to see more work as the Chargers passing attack develops.
