The Packers won because of their coaching advantage over the Colts. Meanwhile, one of Green Bay's top wideouts appears to have ceded ground to another pass catcher.
I don't know how relevant the receiver pecking order is right now. Watson's role is likely different without Love at QB, since he's not going to "stretch the field" with Willis at QB. If nothing changes when Love returns, then I'll raise an eyebrow about Watson's snaps.
We're not at a point where we can say something definitive regarding Christian Watson, and I tried to make that clear with my word choices in the piece ("appears to have ceded" instead of, say, "has ceded"). But the situation definitely deserves attention. The workloads for Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed look pretty static. The same cannot be said for Watson and Dontayvion Wicks. Even if Jordan Love was playing, we'd need to see more than two weeks of data, but the timeshare appears to have developed between Watson and Wicks and not the other members of the Packers' top four wideouts.
It's a situation to monitor, at least until further notice.
Very informative , thanks
Thank you for the kind words, Judy!
