Christian Watson fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Christian Watson for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson gets a major fantasy downgrade in Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts because of the Jordan Love injury, which is forcing Malik Willis into the starting quarterback role for the Packers. That's bad news for Watson and the rest of Green Bay's pass catchers.
Willis has started three NFL games and has never passed for over 100 yards. He struggles with accuracy and his presence is likely to negatively impact the Packers wide receiver group to a major degree.
4. WR Christian Watson (GB): He was outplayed by Jayden Reed. Watson finished with just 13 yards and a TD. However, there was a lot to be encouraged by. QB Jordan Love is targeted Watson heavily in the redzone, just missing on a 2nd TD. Big games incoming! pic.twitter.com/m6INMSvL1d

In Week 1, Watson caught three of his five targets for 13 yards and a touchdown. He's a low-end WR4 play at best this week and isn't worth starting outside of 14-team leagues due to the risk involved. There are too many good receivers in this offense fighting for a piece of incredibly small pie with Willis under center.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
Caleb Douglas- Start or Sit?
Baller Move: Bench in standard leagues, mid-end FLEX in deeper leagues Positional Value: WR4 Analysis: One of the big mysteries in fantasy football this offseason was how the Miami Dolphins’ offense would look in 2026. Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a big contract in free agency, but his pass-catching group was filled with unproven […]
