Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers
G-RANK RoS: WR14
Christian Watson is the WR3 on the season, which seems insane, but it's mostly being held up by 2 boom performances: 31 points against Minnesota and 31 points against Chicago. The target volume has been good, but he's had 3 games with 4 or fewer catches. His deep shot ability gives him weekly WR1 upside, but it also leaves him susceptible to so-so games. I would have tried to trade him off the Chicago week, but he still has market value given his YTD rank. If he's your WR1 and you can trade up to a Nico Collins, Drake London, or Parker Washington, I would, especially with Josh Jacobs back in the mix in Green Bay.
Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions
G-RANK RoS: WR24
It happened! We had a vintage Jameson Williams breakout game: 9 targets, 91 yards, and 2 touchdowns against the Packers. He's scored 4 times in the last 2 weeks to help mask what was an ugly start to the season, and there will be plenty of weeks where Jameo is a top 15 receiver: the challenge is predicting which one. The Lions have the 2nd hardest remaining schedule for wide receivers, so if I had Williams, I'd be looking to capitalize on the WR4 week against Green Bay and see if I can move up a tier at the position.
D'Andre Swift, Chicago Bears
G-RANK RoS: RB16
D'Andre Swift is the RB9 on the season and has been a stellar pick given where he went in drafts. He's found the endzone 7 times this season, including 4 in the last 3 weeks, and while I think his success will continue, I'm worried we're at his ceiling. 67% of the Bears' touchdowns have come on the ground this year, which is 2nd in the league to only Indianapolis - I fear that trend will reverse with Caleb back in the mix. I also think Monangai will be heavily involved when he's back (we saw him get 10, 10, 10, and 30 rushes in the first 4 games of the season). So, while I see Swift as a solid RB2 rest-of-season, I do think it will be hard for him to keep up the elite, RB1 production level.
