Downgrade the entire passing attack for Green Bay until Jordan Love is back under center. Last week, Watson had a 65% route run rate with a 14.3% target share, a 21.4% air-yard share, and a 16.7% first-read share (second on the team). Watson led the team with three end-zone targets. He snagged one of them for a score as the WR39 in fantasy last week. Last week, Indy was second in the NFL in Cover 3 rate (52.6%). Last year, Watson led Green Bay in separation and route win rate against Cover 3. Among 92 qualifying receivers last year, Watson ranked 21st in separation against Cover 3. Watson could lead the way this week. Watson will run about 61% of his routes against Dallis Flowers (61.1% catch rate and 98.1 passer rating) and Jaylon Jones (54.4% catch rate and 106.6 passer rating).
