Christian Watson is a 2022 fantasy football draft sleeper at wide receiver and an ADP draft value. Target Watson as an undervalued WR in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~168 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~179
ANALYSIS: There is not a clear event happening in the past few weeks that have forced fantasy GMs into fading Watson, and in fact, looking at the chart above you can see how the fall is less pronounced from the end of June until now than it was in the prior weeks to that.
The Packers didn't do anything remarkable in this last four-week span, so things are kind of settled tho the ADP has still somehow dropped more than two full rounds in 12-team leagues. The last impact move in Green Bay was the (expected) re-signing of WR Allen Lazard, but that happened more than a month ago.
Watson, the rookie out of North Dakota State, got drafted earlier than expected and by the most random team considering the history of Green Bay in the draft--an influx of young, drafted talent at WR was very needed, though.
The only thing that might concern fantasy GMs is QB Aaron Rodgers saying that he is excited about Alen Lazard being back as the WR1, but that was expected from the get-go so if that is the main reason under the ADP movement, well, you can entirely forget about it.
I say the only thing even though "Knox News" reported WR Amari Rodgers is trying to get himself a larger role, which I'm sorry but I don't think is something buyable. PFF has Watson projected to just 45 fewer FP than Lazard in PPR-format leagues. FFPC GMs are drafting Lazard with an ADP of 113th to Watson's 131st. You know who to target if the ADP keeps tanking.
