Fantasy Football Week 16 Sleepers: Christian Watson returns in time to make a difference in semi-final
Imagn Images It looks like Christian Watson (chest) will play Saturday in Chicago, and that’s great news for Packers and Fantasy officials. He’s worth using as a second fantasy receiver in most leagues. Watson was injured in Week 15 in Denver but was able to practice on a limited basis this week. Hopefully he will pick up where he left off before facing the Broncos. Watson scored at least 18.3 PPR points in three of his four previous games before Week 15, including Week 14 against the Bears. In that game, Watson had four receptions for 89 yards and two touchdowns on four targets. Chicago is No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and 13 receivers have scored at least 13.6 PPR points against the Bears this season. And Watson has scored at least 19 PPR points in each of his last three healthy games against Chicago. Playing with Watson is a boost for Jordan Love, who is worth using as a low-end starter in most leagues. But Watson limits the advantage to Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden. Of those receivers, the only one worth considering is Reed as a low-end starter in three-receiver leagues. This should be a fun game between the Bears and Packers, with huge playoff implications in the NFC North. And Watson’s activity is a big help to Green Bay — and Fantasy managers in their playoff semifinals. Week 16 Sleepers Defense/Special TeamsKicker
