Christian Watson - Fantasy Football Breakout Candidate

The rookie season for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson started in disaster. On his very first play from scrimmage as a professional, the second-round draft pick dropped a wide-open, would-be touchdown from then-quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Not every fantasy football sleeper ends up being a breakout player. Sometimes, fantasy analysts will tout a player and then we'll just be wrong.

Scott Engel's Fantasy Football Experts Draft Breakdown - SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio Hosts League

What's become clear is the larger divide between the elite quarterbacks and […]
