It was largely a lost season right from the jump, as Watson missed eight games due to lingering hamstring injuries. The most physically gifted of all the Packer receivers, Watson still made the most of his healthy snaps, popping off in Weeks 12 and 13, and finding the endzone five times on only 28 receptions. His elite speed, and size in the redzone give him the biggest upside of any Green Bay receiver, but his health and role in a crowded receiver room make him a fantasy conundrum. Due to some serious sports science analysis, it seems Watson has found the causes of his lower body woes. If that's the case he'll provide a lethal big play element for the Pack, and could be an amazing fantasy value. If health and route development come together, he has the physical tools to be elite, but until that translates, he'll still be a boom/bust option.

 Likely torn ACL for Christian Watson
Readiness for 2025 season in doubt after Week 18 injury

FFToday's Take: Watson seemingly figured out the source of his persistent hamstring issues this offseason, but he will go into this offseason trying to recover from something much more serious. An ACL tear this late in the season means Watson will be lucky to be ready to play before midseason next year and it is likely he will not recapture his previous form until 2026. The Packers cannot replace Watson's field-stretch abilities, but they are deep at receiver and figure to move forward into next season relying on Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks.
