Christian Watson

So I expect Jordan Love to be absolutely airing this ball out, and this Packers offense has some chemistry with these wide receivers.

I mean, Christian Watson, Jaden Reed, Matthew Golden in his second year.

I wouldn't say...

You know, they don't have this like star-studded wide receiver one, but just kind of up and down the room, they got good depth, guys who know how to make plays, and obviously we all know Jordan Love can sling the rock.

Um, they have kept his passing attempts down in the past because the, the offense has been on the ground like we were mentioning, and that's sort of the foot it's been led with, and then Jordan Love sort of cleans up with, with, with the receiving core, whatever.

But in this game, you need to win through Jordan Love if you're Green Bay, and he does have the talent to do that.

And th- those three wide receivers you were talking about, uh, Leighton, in the matchup against the Vikings defensive back field, the, the, uh, pack- or the Packers sloughed off, uh, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks, uh, over the off season, so now you have the solidified starting trio of Christian Watson, Jaden Reed, and Matthew Golden.

And of course, Tucker Kraft there as well.

And I'm not completely sold on the wide receiving room, uh, for the Green Bay Packers.

They have a lot of speed there, obviously, with Christian Watson a- and Matthew Golden.

And, um, how is all that gonna transpire for this team? The backfield as well.

You know, with the whole Josh Jacobs situation, uh, for the, uh, Green Bay Packers there.

in the weeks ahead.

Uh, but we are also gonna lean in on Tucker Kraft, Matthew Golden, Jaden Reed, Christian Watson, Bo Melton, and so much more offensively.

Packers and Vikings, 3:25 on CBS.

Minnesota is a one-and-a-half-point favorite.

Yeah, yeah

... and Hawkinson and, uh, and Christian Watson, right? A fully healthy Watson with no competition-

Yeah

... or fewer competition for targets.

I ended up going with Tucker Craft, just a whole bunch of Tucker Craft, just because of how good he was in the first half.

But Jaden Reed, Christian Watson, Matthew Gold, and Tucker Craft, was there a receiver that you were higher on or you thought there was some opportunity or was undervalued?

Not really because I see it being so tight between all of them.

They're all going to be on the field a lot.

They're all probably going to be targeted.

I don't think there's a clear guy that's going to step out above the rest.

It kind of seemed like the market and fantasy players thought it was going to be Christian Watson.

I thought he was kind of overrated in fantasy drafts because of that.

If Romeo Dobbs is the competitor you would hope he is, now there's an opportunity for him to really be in the spotlight like he hasn't ever really been.

Because in Green Bay, they have that sort of stable of receivers and Christian Watson and the whole thing kind of rotating through.

He can be the guy right now.

He can be the number one receiver for Drake May in this offense for the next four to six weeks.

Ryan, is this? Yes.

Which Packers wide receiver dropped his first attempt at a catch in the NFL, helping set the tone for a disappointing season-opening loss to the Vikings in 2022? Was that Christian Watson, Jaden Reed, or Romeo Drops? I think it was A.

It was A, Christian Watson.

Indeed it was.

One for one.

And, you know, and I think last second he.

pulls and throws a rope probably 50 yards downfield to Christian Watson.

He dropped it, but it, you know, it's perfectly over the DB in his hands.

And you just look at plays like that, like, okay, this like, it does not matter the situation who's rushing, like for a quarterback to be able to pull that out of their pocket.

And this Packers offense has some chemistry with these wide receivers.

I mean, Christian Watson, Jaden Reed, Matthew Golden in his second year.

I wouldn't say they don't have this star-studded wide receiver one, but just kind of up and down the room, they got good depth, guys who know how to make plays, and obviously we all know Jordan Love can sling the rock.

So I'm just worried, can this secondary – Pass off guys in zone.

And he does have the talent to do that.

And those three wide receivers you were talking about, Leighton, in the matchup against the Vikings defensive backfield, the Packers sloughed off Romeo Dobbs and Dontavian Wicks over the offseason.

So now you have the solidified starting trio of Christian Watson, Jaden Reed, and Matthew Golden.

And, of course, Tucker Kraft there as well.
