Fantasy Football Outlook
Christian Watson (hamstring) upgraded to limited Tuesday
Christian Watson (hamstring) was upgraded to a limited participant at Tuesday’s practice.
Fantasy Impact
Watson hasn’t played yet this season because of a hamstring injury. He was able to log a limited practice session on Tuesday after being estimated as a DNP on Monday, however, and he also told reporters that the plan is for him to play on Thursday night. The team will make a decision closer to game time, but he seems to be trending the right direction against the Lions, which would lead to less work for Romeo Doubs and rookie Jayden Reed in Week 4 and beyond.

What the Experts Are Saying
Watson is set to return in Week 4. He didn’t practice on Monday, but he did manage a limited practice on Tuesday. Watson should have a field day against Detroit’s zone coverage (65-66% of their corner’s snaps). Last year, after he was a full-time starter in the offense, Watson had a 17.8% target share, a 38.1% air yard share, and a 22.9% first-read share (2.70 YPRR). Green Bay is notoriously careful with injuries, so if Watson is active, I’m treating him like he’ll be a full go. Watson will run about t67% of his routes against Cameron Sutton and Jerry Jacobs. Week 4 Positional Value: WR2/3
