The Green Bay Packers are close to returning one of their key offensive weapons. Wide receiver Christian Watson practiced Monday for the first time since tearing his ACL in the 2024 regular-season finale. He now has 21 days to be activated from the reserve/physically unable to perform list to the 53-man roster.

Watson suffered the torn ACL vs. the Chicago Bears on Jan. 5, so he’s just nine months removed from the injury. The fact that he feels good enough to practice is certainly a step in the right direction. 

The former No. 34 overall pick out of North Dakota State signed a new contract while sidelined; the Packers gave him a one-year, $13.25 million deal last month. In 2024, Watson caught 29 passes for a career-high 620 yards and two touchdowns, while averaging a whopping 21.4 yards per reception.

Watson will return to a wide receivers room headlined by Romeo Doubs, rookie Matthew Golden, and Dontayvion Wicks. Jayden Reed, who was Green Bay’s leading receiving in 2024, is on injured reserve after fracturing his collarbone in Week 2. Tight end Tucker Kraft is actually Jordan Love’s leading receiver with 16 catches for 225 yards and two touchdowns in four games.

The Packers are coming off their bye week and currently reside in second place in the NFC North with a 2-1-1 record. Green Bay started the season off hot with wins over the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders, but then blew a fourth-quarter lead to the Cleveland Browns in Week 3 and tied the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. The Packers’ passing offense ranks No. 10 in the NFL (232.8 yards per game), and more help is on the way.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone teases possible lineup change for ALDS Game 3 with playoff elimination on the line

The American League Division Series between the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays is relocating to the Bronx ahead of Tuesday's Game 3. Other than the return home, not much thus far has gone the way of the Yankees, who dropped the first two games of this best-of-five series and thus find themselves on the cusp of elimination. Such straits can of course prompt managers to make changes, to try a different mix of talents and deployments in order to keep the season alive. That may indeed be the case with Yankees skipper Aaron Boone. On Monday, Boone was asked about the possibility of lineup changes for Game 3, and he said the following: "We'll see. We'll see. Yes, but it could be the exact same too. That's something I'll kind of work through here the rest of the day and […]

Fantasy Football: Week 5 IDP Report

Estimated Reading Time: 75 minutes Week 5 takeaways Waiver wire LB Dorian Williams/Shaq Thompson, Buffalo Bills: If Matt Milano continues to miss time, then Dorian Williams will likely go back to replacing him in a non-full-time manner. If Williams also misses time as he did this week, then Shaq Thompson will have a shot to act as the LB2 and be useful in deeper IDP leagues. LB Trevin Wallace, Carolina Panthers: Christian Rozeboom lost the green dot and his full-time role to Wallace this week, as the team demoted Rozeboom, which means IDP managers should also adjust accordingly. Rozeboom now only becomes a deep-league option, while Wallace can be rostered in more formats going forward. LB Shemar James, Dallas Cowboys: If Jack Sanborn misses any time, James becomes an interesting deeper league option, as he won’t be a full-time player, […]
