Christian Watson
vs Jaylen Warren

“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:”

““ Jaylen Warren has been a great RB1 for the Steelers the last 2 weeks with 17 carries each week, 220 total rushing yards, and 6.5 yards/attempt. The uptick in production is due to Rico Dowdle being out with various toe injuries. Warren is currently at his highest value and is a great trade-high candidate due to the production, running back injuries across the league, and the need for owners to move him before Dowdle returns and Pittsburgh becomes a full-blown committee again (possibly this week, but probably in the next few weeks).”

“Even with Rico Dowdle returning, Warren has simply been too good to take off the field. He’s rushed for at least 90 yards in three straight games while continuing to make an impact as a receiver. I expect Warren to remain the clear lead back in Pittsburgh, with something closer to a 65-35 split in his favor rather than the 50-50 committee we saw earlier in the season.”

“In the three games without Dowdle, Warren has 490 total yards and two scores, further cementing Dowdle as a change-of-pace guy and handcuff.”

“Aaron Rodgers loves a checkdown, and Warren is the beneficiary. His 87 receiving yards in week five make him the current leading receiver on the team (230), ahead of DK Metcalf (225), who totaled just 12 on Sunday. Turnovers Tell the Story in Seattle The Seahawks and 49ers scored 61 points and gave the ball away seven times between them.”

“Jaylen Warren makes me pause before automatically taking Swift’s discount.”

“Among qualified rushers, Jaylen Warren has the fifth-highest rushing yards after contact per carry (4.2) while the Browns are allowing the fifth-most rushing yards after contact per carry (3.33) in the NFL, according to Next Gen Stats. The Browns are one of five teams that have yet to allow a rushing TD this season, but Warren did not need a rushing TD last week when he finished as the RB8 and posted 176 scrimmage yards on just 20 touches. Wide Receivers Jameson Williams WR - DET @ CAR - Consensus - Andy - Mike - Jason There is no doubt that Jameson Williams has been disappointing this season.”

“Jaylen Warren Has a Ceiling Warren entered Sunday with 150 scrimmage yards through two games, then delivered 176 against CIN. His 49 receiving yards remind us he has multiple ways to produce when PIT cooperates. Even ole’ A A Ron looked like a HOF QB.”

“Jaylen Warren, who was limited in practice, is listed as questionable but is expected to play. With Dowdle out, Warren is set to be a bell cow in the Steelers offense. He has only seen a 56.4% opportunity share thus far, which likely climbs toward the 75% threshold with Dowdle out.”
