2022 Receiving Projections
2022 Fantasy Outlook
In terms of opportunity, Watson probably has it best of the rookie wide receivers, joining an
Aaron Rodgers — Matt LaFleur offense that lost Davante Adams (169 targets) and Marquez
Valdes-Scantling (55). The rub? Watson might not be the most pro-ready prospect, given that
he's 23, played at FCS program North Dakota State and never caught more than 43 passes in a
single season while spending a lot of time blocking in run-first offenses. On the other hand, he
had a dominant share of the Bison's passing game — including 35 percent of the receiving
yards and TDs last year — and then lit up the Combine with a 4.36 40, 136-inch broad jump and
38.5-inch vertical at 6-4, 208. The Packers took Watson at No. 34 overall, boosting a woefully
thin wideout group that otherwise consisted of Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb and
Amari Rodgers. They also grabbed Romeo Doubs in Round 4, but Watson's physical specs and
draft capital make him the upside play of the bunch, while Lazard is the floor play. Read Past Outlooks

Goes to Green Bay in second round
The Packers selected Watson in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 34th overall.
ANALYSIS
Watson (6-foot-4, 208 pounds) is a tall receiver out of North Dakota State with compelling long speed (4.36-second 40), a combination of traits very similar to free-agent departure and former starting Green Bay wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling. He doesn't project to do much as an underneath or even intermediate target in the NFL, but Watson eventually should develop into a more complete version of what MVS was for the Packers. Watson is a good bet to emerge as Green Bay's main boundary receiver and deep threat, even as a rookie.
