Christian Watson Status

rotoWire
Watson (hip) corralled five of six targets for 104 yards and rushed twice for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Lions.

What it means:

Watson's rookie year got off to a nightmarish start when he dropped a potential huge touchdown out of the gates that led to confidence issues and early struggles. The second-round pick got things rolling midseason when he ripped off eight touchdowns over a four-game span, and he didn't surrender the No. 1 wideout role from that point forward. Watson's strong finish to the season should have fantasy managers looking for a big sophomore leap from the explosive wideout in 2023.
rotoWire
Watson (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Detroit, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

What it means:

The hip injury caused Watson to miss the second half of Green Bay's Week 16 contest, and he then managed only one catch for 11 yards in Week 17 while playing 60 percent of snaps in a 41-17 win over the Vikings. The blowout nature of the game impacted his playing time, but there is real competition for snaps/targets with Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs and Randall Cobb all healthy. Even so, Watson figures to be featured in the gameplan after his big second half of the season.
rotoWire
Watson (hip) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

What it means:

Watson, who hurt his hip Week 16 at Miami, now has logged more work than a week ago, when he managed just one capped session before the Packers made him questionable ahead of this past Sunday's game against the Vikings. He ended up playing 60 percent of the snaps in that contest but hauled in just one of five targets for 11 yards. In the end, Friday's injury report will unveil if Watson has a designation for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Lions.
rotoWire
Watson (hip) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice.

What it means:

After injuring his hip Week 16 at Miami, Watson managed just one limited session last Friday and went into the weekend listed as questionable. He was able to suit up this past Sunday against the Vikings and rank second among Packers wide receivers in snap share (60 percent) behind Allen Lazard, but the usage only resulted in an 11-yard catch on five targets for the rookie second-round pick. Watson still is tending to the health concern during Week 18 prep, but there's been no word that he's in danger of missing Sunday night's game versus the Lions.
rotoWire
Watson was targeted five times and caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's 41-17 victory over the Vikings.

What it means:

Watson took the field one week after injuring his hip in Green Bay's Week 16 victory over the Dolphins, but he played only 59 percent of the snaps and did not come close to matching the numbers he tossed up in his previous six appearances. Watson's participation -- or lack thereof -- in practice this week could indicate what type of workload can be expected of him in the the Packers' crucial Week 18 matchup with the Lions.
rotoWire
Watson (hip) is active for Sunday's contest against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

What it means:

It remains to be seen how much work Watson can handle after taking a seat for the second half of last Sunday's win at Miami due to a hip injury and also failing to practice until Friday, when he was limited. His availability Sunday was tied to a pregame workout, which went well enough for the Packers to make him available to the offense. Over the last six games, Watson has reeled off 25 catches (on 41 targets) for 408 yards and seven touchdowns, so he may be worth a start in the fantasy postseason, if only for his big-play ability.
