Christian Watson Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Packers WRs Christian Watson (ankle) and Romeo Doubs (suspension) are inactive for today’s game vs. the Rams. That leaves Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks as Green Bay’s clear top-two WRs. It’s unclear exactly how No. 3 WR duties will be divvied between Bo Melton and Malik Heath. They’re just fliers in DFS tournaments.

Packers WRs Christian Watson (ankle) and Romeo Doubs (personal) are listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. So Green Bay is suddenly down two of its top three WRs in terms of playing time so far this season. It’s a huge opportunity for WR Dontayvion Wicks, while WR Jayden Reed and TE Tucker Kraft should also pick up extra volume. We’re expecting WRs Bo Melton and Malik Heath to split Doubs’ snaps.

Insider Jordan Schultz hears that Packers WR Christian Watson is "unlikely" to land on IR. Schultz adds that Watson is dealing with a "mild" high-ankle sprain. He's a big long shot to play vs. the Rams this weekend, and we'd still bet on him missing multiple games. But the Packers evidently expect him back before Week 9.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur said Monday that WR Christian Watson will be out "at least a week or so" with his ankle injury. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said earlier today that Watson is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with a high-ankle sprain. We'll see whether he lands on IR later this week, but Watson owners should at least prepare to be without him for Week 5.

Packers WR Christian Watson is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with his high-ankle sprain, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He avoided a fracture in the ankle but might still wind up on IR, Rapoport adds. This is a pretty standard timetable for high-ankle sprains. Plan on Watson missing at least Green Bay's next four games.

The Packers believe WR Christian Watson suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 4 loss to the Vikings, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Watson is scheduled for a Monday MRI to confirm that diagnosis. A high-ankle sprain would very likely cost Watson multiple games.
