Packers WR Christian Watson broke out, catching 6 of 8 targets for 147 yards and 2 TDs in the loss to the Vikings. Watson picked up where he left off last season playing all Two-WR sets and making plays down the field with QB Jordan Love throwing him the ball.

The Packers rotation at WR seems to be well set. Matthew Golden led the team with 56 snaps while playing the X WR role. Watson remained in the Z WR spot and was second in snaps with 52. Jayden Reed stayed in his slot role and played 39 snaps.
That should mean a heavy dose of Golden and Watson going forward.
With the run game struggling, the Packers turned to the pass early and it was the only piece working against the Vikings defense.
The passing game could have success again next week against the Jets.
