Christian Watson
vs Bhayshul Tuten

“Watson has been the biggest beneficiary of quarterback Jordan Love ‘s propensity to look deep downfield, culminating in his 6/143/2 performance on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Though his catch totals will never rival Justin Jefferson or Ja’Marr Chase , Watson more than makes up for it with his freakish size/speed combination and ability to box out defenders on downfield looks. Watson made several highlight-reel catches and is well on his way to his first 1,000-yard season if he can stay on the field.”

“CHI | DraftKings: $6,400/FanDuel: $7,000 Christian Watson is one of my favorite wide receiver plays on this slate, especially if you’re already using Jordan Love at quarterback. The Packers have leaned heavily on their passing game this season. Watson gives Love a dangerous downfield weapon who can rack up fantasy points quickly .”

“Watson had only three targets, the fourth-most on the team, totaling two fewer than MarShawn Lloyd . Furthermore, Matthew Golden and Tucker Kraft led Green Bay with seven targets apiece. Even with leading the Packers in receiving yards (47), Watson scored only 7.7 fantasy points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.”

“Again, this two-game sample size for Washington is nothing to panic about, as Ja’Marr Chase , George Pickens , and Christian Watson are all within 1% of Washington’s 16% target share. This is just a reminder that Washington is not a tier-one WR in dynasty. Parker Washington has 4 REC in his last two games.”

“Knowing the current situation of Christian Watson , would you trade him away straight up for Matthew Golden ? – natedawg205 Answer: Oh look, another BOAT question, although this time we’re going from the 25-meter yacht to…well, a 20-meter one. The Ballers have waxed lyrical about both of these players this past week, and although Andy may have recommended trading Christian Watson away, I sure as heck would not advise packing him off in return for his teammate, even if Golden has seen more looks from Jordan Love on the year. Watson has more receptions (17-15), more yards (284-253), and most importantly…more TDs (4-1).”

“Christian Watson scored four TDs in three weeks, and a dip in TDs would be detrimental to Watson’s fantasy production.”

“Christian Watson caught 7 of 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown — Green Bay’s opening score of the game. His share of the offense fell sharply week over week, but that’s because Matthew Golden’s target count exploded and the team threw 20 more times than last week. Target share fell sharply (33.3% → 18.9% adjusted) even though his raw target count only dropped by one (11 → 10).”

“Christian Watson (TRUST) Watson has opened the season with games of 6-147-2 (8 targets) and 4-41-1 (11 targets). Watson has played 82.6% and 93.8% of the dropbacks in the first two games, with target shares of 20% and 37.9%. With Jayden Reed going down last week, this passing tree became more concentrated.”

“Watson played 77.4% of the snaps, ran 81.4% of the routes, and had a 19% target share. Second-year wideout Golden had 85.5% of the snaps, ran 88.4% of the routes, and had a 28.6% target share. Reed was last with 58.1% of the snaps, ran 67.4% of the routes, and had a 16.7% target share.”

“Christian Watson finished second on the team in targets behind Matthew Golden but finished with a 6/147/2 split on the heels of an 81-yard touchdown reception where he broke away from Vikings defenders. With the Packers’ run game being non-existent, expect more pass-heavy scripts from Watson and Co. moving forward. Stud:”

“Watching Tuten get two touchdowns whipped off the board by holding calls and then watching Chris Rodriguez score last week made my face melt. Tuten finished with a disappointing 19 touches and 91 total yards when the fantasy box score should have been more grand. Tuten still finished with a season-high 59% snap share, 68% designed carry share, and 40.7% route share.”

“Tuten is second in the NFL in success rate as a runner (50%) despite getting hit at the line or in the backfield on 48% of his runs. He is averaging 4.02 yards after contact per rush, fourth in the league. Tuten is a screaming buy who could be electric if he gets targets.”

“Bhayshul Tuten is in a split backfield, but just like Kyren Williams and D’Andre Swift , it usually doesn’t matter. When you’re the lead back, even in a split backfield, on a high-scoring offense, you’re going to score points. It might be frustrating to watch the backup running back steal a valuable touchdown from time to time, but that comes with the territory.”

“Bhayshul Tuten ranks as a low-end RB2 and a potential buy-low candidate with 31 opportunities through the first two weeks.”

“Bhayshul Tuten has seen consistency in his workload through two games, with designed carry shares of 51.7% and 54.2% and route shares of 34.5% and 33.3%. He has averaged 15.5 touches and 75 total yards while splitting the red zone rushing role with Chris Rodriguez (each has two red zone rushing attempts). Tuten has been stellar on a per-rush basis.”

“One of the biggest worries of the offseason centered around the backfield split for Jacksonville, and primarily whether or not Bhayshul Tuten would be the preferred option for the Jaguars around the goal line over Chris Rodriguez . While Rodriguez has been involved to a minor degree for the Jags, it has been Tuten who was able to find the end zone this week and has overall dominated the touches in this offense. Maybe more importantly, Tuten’s TD carry came from short yardage, which should probably be the larger worry where C-Rod would be involved.”

“Bhayshul Tuten will compete with Chris Rodriguez to be the lead back for the Jaguars in 2026.”

“During this time, reports out of camp were glowing, with head coach Liam Coen even saying that Tuten is primed for a big season. We also saw reports of Tuten dominating some joint practices and looking the part of a featured back.”
