Christian Watson Week 4 Outlook - Vikings at Packers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 26th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Watson has seen his route share cut as the Packers changed up personnel and groupings weekly with Malik Willis at the helm. Watson has had only a 55.7% route share with a 10.3% target share, a 21.7% air-yard share, 1.82 YPRR, and an 11.5% first-read share. He leads the team with three end zone targets. Minnesota has the highest two high rate in the NFL (77.9%). Green Bay has faced the lowest rate of two high this season (30.4%), so we are working with small samples for 2024. Looking back to 2023, Watson led the team with a 17.6% target share and seven end zone targets against two high while also ranking second in TPRR (24%) and first-read share (21.5%). Watson could lead the way against Minnesota if his 2023 usage holds. Watson will run about 66% of his routes against Stephon Gilmore (84.2% catch rate and 96.3 passer rating) and Shaquill Griffin (44.4% catch rate and 58.6 passer rating).
