News: 10 hours agoWatson (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Detroit, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Spin: Watson was listed as limited on all three of Green Bay's Week 7 injury reports due to an ankle issue, but it won't stop him from being available Sunday. Both he and Matthew Golden (shoulder) are in the clear ahead of the weekend, meaning QB Jordan Love will have his top pass catchers at his disposal for the divisional matchup.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Watson has had quite the boom/bust NFL career and that was on full display in 2025. After missing the first seven games due to injury, Watson returned and scored 18-plus fantasy points four times, but averaged 7.7 in his other six outings. The oft-injured 2022 second-round pick has still yet to play a full regular season, but has weirdly finished with between 611 and 620 receiving yards in three of his four campaigns. Though Watson has yet to deliver a top-40 fantasy season, he's been extremely efficient in his vertical role, ranking exactly second in average depth of target, YPR and YPT each of the last two seasons. Durability is an obvious concern, but the 27-year-old could very well lead Green Bay in targets following Romeo Doubs' departure. Watson should be valued as a volatile flex option with added value in non-PPR leagues.
