Christian Watson's 2025 season outlook is cautiously optimistic following his ACL tear in January. Currently with the Green Bay Packers, Watson is projected for 24.7 receptions, 472 receiving yards, and 2.9 touchdowns in 2025. His recent workout video, showcasing route running, suggests progress in his rehabilitation.
Coach Matt LaFleur mentioned Watson is "ahead of schedule," though a return is anticipated around late October or early November. Fantasy managers should note Watson's WR #103 draft ranking and ADP of #345. His gradual reintegration into the offense could limit early-season impact, but he remains a potential midseason waiver wire target.
With a projected 66.1 fantasy points, Watson's return could bolster the Packers' receiving corps, especially if he regains full health and snaps by season's end.
