Green Bay Packers Wide Receiver Christian Watson Being Available On Sunday Means That Quarterback Jordan Love May Have All Of His Targets
It has been very rare that Jordan Love has had all of his guys this season. The last time that Watson, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, and Romeo Doubs were all available to him was against the Kansas City Chiefs. To go along with that, Love can also have Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft to throw to at the tight end position and also have Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon in the backfield as well.

Watson is a player who is going to see snaps on Sunday against the Bears as long as he doesn’t have anything go against him between now and Sunday. Having potential offensive packages with him, Doubs, Reed, and Wicks is going to be a very interesting scene for this offense. The passing game could be very dangerous. Jordan Love has a golden chance to shine with all of his wide receivers, running backs, and tight ends all healthy to him.
