Should You Start or Sit Christian Watson in Week 14?
Watson has posted an aDOT of 20+ yards in each of his past four games, a role that can carry significant upside if the shots connect.
That’s a big “if.”
For him to capitalize on those deep shots, he has to shake free and finish the play. The offense in Detroit gets plenty of attention, but this defense has been trending up for six weeks now, making Watson a difficult sell — and that’s before factoring in the mind-numbing concentration drops that pop up from time to time.
Ahead of Week 13, Jordan Love expressed optimism in his deep threat, but I’m going to need more than lip service to have me giving Watson a Flex look. He’s seen his on-field target share decline each season, and with Romeo Doubs (concussion) expected back, there are too many mouths to feed to feel good about rolling the dice on a highly volatile player in a difficult matchup.
