Christian Watson (hamstring) absent again at Packers practice
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) was not seen at practice on Thursday.
What It Means:
Watson appears to be headed for a second missed absence due to a hamstring injury. The Packers haven't revealed the cause or extent of the issue, leaving Watson uncertain for Week 1 against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Romeo Doubs (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday for the first time in two weeks, so he could be the No. 1 receiver if Watson is ruled out. Jayden Reed and Samori Toure could also play more snaps without Watson.
numberFire's models project Watson for 11.4 FanDuel points in Week 1, with 8.3 targets, 5.0 receptions, and 65.9 yards. He has a $6,300 salary and is the WR18 in our weekly rankings. The Bears were 20th in FanDuel points allowed per game to opposing wide receivers last season.
