Packers' Christian Watson: Leads Packers in targets
Christian Watson recorded three receptions on seven targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. He also caught a two-point conversion.Watson has seen his involvement in the offense tick up in the last two weeks, earning 13 total targets -- the same number he had across the first six contests of the campaign. He didn't manage to turn that into much production Sunday, and he has just 76 yards combined across the last two weeks. Nevertheless, it's been positive to see Watson get more involved in a crowded Green Bay receiving corps, and he should see improved production if his opportunity remains stable.

Packers' Christian Watson: Garners six targets Sunday
Christian Watson had four receptions (six targets) for 39 yards in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.Watson has been dealing with an ankle injury in recent weeks, but he has maintained an active status throughout. The 6-foot-4 wideout tied tight end Tucker Kraft for the lead in targets for Green Bay on Sunday. Watson remains a mid-level option with some upside (assuming good health) heading into next Sunday's bout with the Lions.

Packers' Christian Watson: In clear for Sunday
Christian Watson (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Packers' official site reports.Due to the left ankle he sprained back in Week 4, Watson had his reps managed Wednesday and Thursday, but after practicing fully Friday, he's in the clear to suit up for a third straight game Sunday. In his first two contests back from the injury after missing a Week 5 win over the Rams, Watson has recorded four receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown on six targets while carrying once for minus-4 yards.

Packers' Christian Watson: Stays limited Thursday
Christian Watson (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.Since sitting out Week 5 at the Rams due to a sprained left ankle, Watson has suited up the last two games, combining for five touches for 73 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD. Most of that production occurred on a 44-yard scoring connection with QB Jordan Love in Week 6 against the Cardinals, but Watson has a favorable matchup on tap Sunday versus a Jaguars defense that has allowed the second-most YPT (8.7) to opposing wide receivers this season. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not Watson goes into the weekend with a designation.

Packers' Christian Watson: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Christian Watson (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.Both Watson and fellow wideout Jayden Reed continue to tend to their respective ankle issues, but the former hasn't experienced much of a change in his workload. Having said that, Watson turned his two touches into five yards from scrimmage this past Sunday versus the Texans, so he'll be aiming for a stronger performance Sunday at Jacksonville, assuming he's active.

Packers' Christian Watson: Quiet in victory
Christian Watson had one reception for nine yards and one carry for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 24-22 victory over the Texans.Watson was coming off his most productive game of the season, but quarterback Jordan Love focused elsewhere in Week 7, and Watson finished with just two targets and two touches. Inconsistency is a major issue for Watson's fantasy prospects, but he will have a plus matchup Week 8 with the Green Bay Packers facing a Jaguars defense that ranks near the bottom of the league when it comes to receptions, yards and touchdowns ceded to opposing wideouts.

Packers' Christian Watson: No Week 7 injury designation
Christian Watson (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Packers' official site reports.Both Watson and Jayden Reed (ankle) are good to go after three limited practices apiece, while Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) is listed as questionable after following the same practice routine. Watson posted a season-high 68 receiving yards thanks to a 44-yard touchdown catch in Green Bay's Week 6 win over the Cardinals, and he'll look to build off that strong outing against a Houston defense that has been more vulnerable through the air than on the ground.

Packers' Christian Watson: Another limited showing
Christian Watson (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.Watson has cobbled together back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 7 prep, which comes as no surprise considering he returned to action this past Sunday against the Cardinals after missing one contest when he initially was expected to be out multiple games due to a left ankle injury. Fellow WRs Jayden Reed (ankle) and Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) also have been limited this week, so Friday's practice report will be telling for who among the trio enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's showdown with the Texans.

Packers' Christian Watson: Remains limited by ankle injury
Christian Watson (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.Watson looked like his normal dynamic self this past Sunday against the Cardinals, reeling off 68 yards and one touchdown on his three catches (four targets). The output mostly was fueled by a 44-yard touchdown connection with quarterback Jordan Love, but it still was an encouraging performance for Watson after missing just one game due to a sprained left ankle. Fellow receivers Jayden Reed (ankle) and Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) also had caps on their practice reps Wednesday, so the situation will be one to monitor to get a sense of the trio's odds to suit up Sunday versus the Texans.

Packers' Christian Watson: Season-best outing in Week 6 win
Christian Watson (ankle) caught three of four targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Cardinals.The oft-injured Watson returned from a one-game absence to post his highest yardage total of the season, topping his Week 3 output by one yard. His 44-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter came one possession after Watson caught a drive-extending 14-yard pass on fourth-and-2. Green Bay's wide receivers combined for four touchdown catches in Sunday's win, with Jayden Reed scoring one and Romeo Doubs adding two. Watson and Doubs will likely continue playing complementary roles behind Reed against the Texans in Week 7, regardless of Dontayvion Wicks' (shoulder) availability.
