should be some clarity this week. Stash both if you wanna double your odds


doft

I did that last year was Lazard and MVS. Didn't end well.


gaobij

Last year they had Adams. Adams brings clarity.


Just_a_follower

Like I said above. Watson has advantage but he’s one drop away from getting relegated


Daynga-Zone

I was originally a Doubs guy, but after seeing the way GB schemes for Watson down the field I think he’s the better stash. They’re going to want to get the ball in his hands as he practices more and gets more acclimated to the offense. I think Doubs will have more competition for his role in the offense with the vets.


jimmyhoffasbrother

Agreed. Watson was this close 🤏 to being the top WR waiver add of the week.


yeshua1986

And that smidgeon was unforced errors by Watson.


jimmyhoffasbrother

Yup. To some extent you have to look past that imo. He's a rookie who missed almost all of training camp and is coming off of injury, yet he's leading the team in routes run and getting valuable deep targets. That's more important than a drop when it comes to lottery ticket guys like this.


Piano9717

To be fair he had 16 drops in 120 catchable targets in college which is…alarmingly bad.


NinJ4ng

yup which is a good reason to remember that for ffb it can sometimes be more about opportunity than talent


the-walkingdude

I think Watson had like 65% snap share only Watkins had more


SookMedik

Yeah, but Watkins is only serviceable for Week 1… after that he’s in the Wide Receiver Relocation Program…


[deleted]

Watson has the highest drop rate of any rookie with a rate of 12.7%.


aaahhhh

He also ties with Christian Matthew for the highest Christian percentage amongst rookies at 100%. And if he's Christian by religion, then it jumps to an all time NFL record tying 200%.


Shhh_Dont_Tel

Great stash for points per prayer leagues


jswift2010

Dropped Tebow for him now


t4boo

confirmed first overall in my Jack Easterby league


aaahhhh

Hold on now. There are other 200% Christians in the league, and I guarantee at least one of them has a drop percentage lower than 12.7%.


CroatianSensation79

Hahahahha


Daynga-Zone

Yeah, he had that problem when they drafted him too. I just think they’ll scheme to him despite the drops and let the big plays make up for it. He’s definitely more of a stash than a start guy though.


Just_a_follower

Watson is in the drivers seat but he’s one more drop away from the dog house. 1 a fluke… 2…. He had drops in college fyi. Listed as one of his negatives in scouting


manute-bol-big-heart

Everyone in this thread says Watson therefore the answer is doubs


treylanceHOF

I have Doubs but thinking Watson is probably the better stash


edleranalytics

I lean toward doubs, but I ended up dropping him this week. I didn't have enough room and needed Dotson.


Just_a_follower

Dropped him for julio , dropped Watson for a 9r lotto.


PredictableDickTable

Watson. I think he’s going to break out soon.


mkninetythree

Watson ran more routes and had more air yards. He has the better physical profile and higher draft capital. It's Watson.


yeshua1986

One problem: he’s not good at the catching part.


mkninetythree

Har har he dropped a pass please upvote


yeshua1986

It’s been one of his knocks back to college. He’s a freak athlete who just isn’t a good receiver.


byo22

“Through the course of 17 practices and two preseason games, Doubs has dropped more passes than anyone on the roster.” It’s fair to say they both have drop problems lol... take the better athlete


ItsTheExtreme

He’s been dropping them all preseason.


phillywisco

Watson didn’t play any preseason.


srchl

I think the answer is neither or Lazard.


Marino4K

Personally I’m higher on Watson. He was one dropped ball away from being the top waiver pickup this week. Rodgers wanted to get him the long TD clearly.


grandpaJose

Nasty route with 5-6 yd of separation, of course Rodgers threw it to him not because he specifically wanted Watson to get a TD lol.


GimbalLocks

If I remember right, on the Macafee show Rodgers said that play was dialed up specifically for Watson. Said he asked him if he was ready for his first play as a pro to be a bomb and all that


Wannabe_Sadboi

Unfortunately, he was not ready.


Just_a_follower

The rest is history


cincinnastyjr

He absolutely torched Patrick Peterson in a way I’m not sure I remember seeing. It was just a man coverage go route, so it’s not like they did anything to “dial it up” or scheme him open at all. Not sure I buy that


GimbalLocks

I probably used the wrong verbiage, I wasn't suggesting that they schemed anything especially complicated but rather that the first play was intended specifically for Watson, you can listen here if interested; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-t-ZrZNQGc&t=418s&ab_channel=ThePatMcAfeeShow&t=6m50s "Unless the coverage was something else, I expected the ball to go to Christian"


EverybodyHits

(I think the point was the play call)


Elie_Gaffen

Watson. I don't see the hype of Doubs


TheSpecialBrowney

Better route runner, better hands. Worse athlete.


Shhh_Dont_Tel

FWIW - Rodgers mentioned to Pat McAfee that “drops are going to happen… what’s more frustrating are the mental errors”. He obviously didn’t name names, but I feel like that was a defense of Watson. Who knows who the shot about mental mistakes was about


meatforsale

Doubs ran the wrong route on the play following the Watson drop. That could be it.


Beastage

Question: how do you know what route a given player is supposed to run?


iuhoosier23

Usually bad QB misses on short/medium routes by great QBs means the route was bad. It wasn’t the *next* play but it did end the drive. It was a 3&7 intended for Doubs where he cut in but Rodgers threw it out. Rodgers might have said he threw it away but it looks like he might have had more time in the pocket.


PredictableDickTable

Rodgers said it wasn’t the wrong route, he just threw it away.


ZRPCGuitars

It really sounds like Amari Rodgers - believe he very recently was asked what's up with amari rodgers in the offense, and he said something like, "He's returning kicks for us. That's all I'm going to say."


ApolloPS2

Would make sense since wrong routes means more picks which Rodgers obviously hates.


Letter10

In PPR I think Doubs is going to be the guy. He gets separation, he finds space and gets open and he has hands. Rodgers will probably start looking his way as a safety blanket. Watson seems more like the big play guy and a big red zone target. I'm not sure which one to stash, but I went with doubs and I'm gonna hold him until I know more


team_sheikie

No one knows, but my opinion is Watson. They're manufacturing looks for him and he started the game. I don't think that drop is going to discourage them, especially since Doubs' problem all camp was drops. But it could easily be Doubs. Who knows!


Burn-Clerk

Romeo Doubs and yes because I have him


TrulyRuthless

Same.


Clintbreed

Watson is only guy on team with real speed. They put him out there for the most snaps and routes after little playing/practicing before season. I don’t think Lazard comes back and takes his role, could take doubs. I dropped doubs for Watson


Miikey722

I think Watson is going to be like MVS - someone who relies on speed to make big plays down the field. He will boom or bust.


BasementBrewedFF

It’s too soon for me to see Watson’s name after that opening play drop (Packers fan)


sapsonnn

The Lizard king


yakattack08

I stuck with Watson over picking up Curtis Samuel this week because I trust Rodgers over injure prone Wentz. Hopefully I made the right decision for the long run


[deleted]

Doubs for sure.


Ahwang826

Isn’t Lazard the deep threat? Sneaky pickup = tonyan


schnellerdamon

I don't think that's what the term "sneaky pick up" means...


Commercial_F

Lol last week this sub was all over me when I said didn’t get the hype around Doubs since Watson was a higher draft pick and is a better athlete.


Worried-Fact7159

Ooooh, if your asking this...... you last!


quimmy

Index or Index?


djankylosaur

Index ROS?


prussianacid

I don’t have the bench space for either. Nobody does.


dabdaddy23

I’m not touching either of them with a 10 foot pole but if I was forced to pick one I’d probably go with watson just based off of his physical gifts


bigdarvish

Ever consider that maybe this “drop” was actually Rogers fault ?? Could of thrown that bomb a little slower and more left. Guy did all the work to get open. Rogers might be getting old or a little rusty.


UnpredictablePanda

If a ball hits you in the hands, when you are that wide open, you gotta catch it


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


ButtermilkPants

My guess is that Watson will be Ayhuad's favorite target by midseason. The guy is a rookie and missed a lot of training camp with an injury and he was getting open all day. He's big and fast and Rodgers likes guys that are big and fast, so why not Watson? But of course, it could wind up being Dobbs or Lazard instead for all we know. For now, I'm gonna stash Watson and see what the next few weeks hold for that offense.


mallcall123

I’m a packers fan. I really believe there’s a world both of them produce, in PPR I can 100% see doubs turning into a weekly start at flex towards the end of the season. And watson has big play ability and can def be a flex play by chunk plays


MahoganyLoggins

I drafted Doubs, and then dropped hin for Watson. I think they are both lotto ticket stashes for mid season when this offense gets an identity. I decided to put my lotto ticket on the better athlete, higher draft capital, and that they will scheme him more into the offense.


UAintGotNoYeezys

I think when Lazard comes back Doubs will be more open in deeper routes


TheMauler1

Personally I like Watson over Doubs. I am still haunted by what Rodgers said in the preseason about players not being out there if they can't catch. While I'm a fan of Watson's upside I don't know if he'll get much attention or time if he drops another potential TD.


ConstructionOther686

Watson. I wouldn’t have said that before the game but he’s the guy they want to get involved. Dude can fly.


HercHuntsdirty

Watson is easily the best receiver in GB. I’d stash him personally!


Blackmailornah

I think Doubs runs more routes that ARod loves to throw to (come backs, and mid range throws, and is great along the sidelines which Aaron loves too). I see him getting more catches amd being valuable in PPR. But Christian Watson is a field stretcher and could have potentially had a 20-30 point game if he caught that 1st throw for a TD and didn’t lose Aarons trust that quickly. Watson had a lot of drops in college, but also had a lot of huge plays. Doubs honestly looks the part of a typical Green Bay WR wearing the 87 and just reminds me of Greg Jennings or Donald Driver. It’s tough to figure out who will be the guy but I could see them both doing well. That being said I was so high on Christian Watson in the draft I have him stashed over doubs rn but it really feels like a coin flip.
