Obviously he’s had it fairly rough all year, but he finally looked alive on Thursday, as did the whole of the Packers offense. Any thoughts?

    I was already buying before this (super cheap) contrary to the reddit hive mind. I don’t think he’ll be the player he was drafted for, but that doesn’t mean that he has no value. Was silly to see him dropped in some leagues.

    Boom/bust WR3. Can give you 2 points or potentially win you a week. That’s not a bad thing though, you can probably say that about any guys after around WR20 or so.

    It will be tough to gauge any of their WR’s week-to-week performance.

    Reed has really come on the last few weeks and has looked especially dynamic in their run/sweep game. Doubs seems to be Love’s safety blanket and has 7 TDs on the season. And Watson has the speed, deep threat, and playmaking ability that we saw last year and now the last couple weeks. Add in Wicks and the TEs/RBs and it becomes hard to determine who will be the best player any given week.

    I would also point out these last two games have come against the struggling secondaries of both the Chargers and Lions, so that could also be a factor in why the Packers’ passing game suddenly looks competent.

    I think Reed has worked his way into weekly WR3/Flex category because of his usage in the passing and running games, while Watson is a boom or bust Flex until he can string together another solid game or two in a row. Doubs is probably a bench-depth, bye-week Flex player that is TD-dependent but someone that I would feel comfortable with playing if needed.

    I think the KC game next week will be the most telling about whether this Packers team has turned the corner offensively or if the last two weeks were outliers.

    I like him. With Love putting it together I think Watson is a good play ROS. Lots of good receivers in that O but Watson usually sees the most targets. I’m aiming to pick him up this week.
