Christian Watson An Extremely Risky Flex Option
Published: Sep 16, 2022 at 05:26 PM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson will face the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. The first-round rookie played 66% of the offensive snaps in Week 1 against Minnesota but produced only two receptions on four targets for 34 yards. He also dropped a deep go-ahead touchdown down the sideline. It was positive to see Watson record the second-highest snap share of the Packers' wide receivers, finishing only one percent behind veteran Sammy Watkins. However, Allen Lazard (ankle) could return this week after practicing on a limited basis, muddying the rookie's potential snap share moving forward. Chicago is not a matchup that should scare fantasy managers away from starting a wide receiver, but with a possible Lazard return, Watson profiles as an extremely risky boom or bust flex option in Week 2.
