Christian Watson Week 9 Outlook - Lions at Packers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 31st 2024, 1:05pm EDT

This isn't the week to consider flexing Watson. He has been much better against two high this season. I expect the Lions to utilize single-high heavily this week against Green Bay. In their two meetings last year, they utilized it with 59.9% of their defense snaps. This season overall, they have utilized single high with 55.6% of their defensive snaps. They had a brief dalliance with two high in Weeks 3-5, but they have utilized single high on at least 60.8% of their snaps in their four other games this season. Against single-high, Watons ranks fourth on the team with an 18% TPRR, and he has had only 1.43 YPRR and a 13.7% first-read share.
