Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) has been activated off IR and is expected to make his 2025 debut vs. the Steelers on Sunday night, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It'll be Watson's first action since tearing his ACL on January 5. He's been getting in limited practices for the last three weeks. When healthy, Watson brings a big-play element to Green Bay's passing game, averaging 16.9 yards per catch for his career. The Packers could certainly use him in Pittsburgh with WRs Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks out. But we'd be surprised if Watson played a full slate of snaps in his first game in nearly 10 months. Try not to use him in Week 8 fantasy lineups, but Watson is worth rostering in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.
