Christian Watson Dynasty Value

Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) has been designated to return from IR and was on the practice field on Monday. The team now has a 21-day window to move him onto the active roster. We'll see if Watson is ready to play vs. the Bengals this weekend, but there will likely be a ramp up period as he works all the way back from January's torn ACL. We're at least a few weeks away from Watson being a potential fantasy option, but he could be worth stashing now in deeper fantasy leagues. A healthy Watson is one of the top big-play threats in the league, averaging 16.9 yards per catch with a 14.3% TD rate over his first three seasons. Playing time will be tricky, though, in a WR corps that also includes Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks, and eventually Jayden Reed, who's expected back in November.

Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) expects to be ready to practice when first eligible leading up to Week 6. He's currently on the PUP list, working back from his January ACL tear.
