Should I Start Christian Watson for Fantasy Football?

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson missed some time early in the season but is set to play his fourth game of the 2023 NFL season on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Last week, he caught three passes for 27 yards in a loss to the Broncos.

Watson has under 30 yards in two of his three games, but scored a touchdown in one of those. He had 91 receiving yards in the third game. He's 2-for-3 when it comes to having a good fantasy football score this season. The Packers' issues with offensive consistency give Watson a wide range of outcomes, but fantasy managers looking for a flex play could do worse than Watson, who rates as a high-end WR4 play this weekend.

He is the WR39 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.

Should I Start Tank Dell for Fantasy Football?

Tank Dell is set to play this week for the first time since Oct. 8. He missed Houston's game against the Saints with a concussion, then the Texans were on a bye last week.

Dell has 50 or more receiving yards in three of his past four games. The rookie out of the University of Houston is a dynamic threat in the deep passing game due to his speed, though we've seen teams shut him down this season as well. He's a boom-or-bust WR3/4 play with the upside to finish as a top 10 receiver if the defense misses an assignment and allows Dell to get open down the field.

He is the WR42 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.

Should I Start D'Onta Foreman for Fantasy Football?

Last week against the Raiders, Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman had a huge showing, carrying the rock 16 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns while also catching three passes for 31 yards and a score.

The Bears are without Khalil Herbert this week, but the return of Roschon Johnson from concussion protocol could cut into some of Foreman's work, especially in the passing game. Still, he should see most of the team's rushing work and rates as a solid RB2 play this weekend.

He is the RB20 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
