Week 10’s Monday Night Football showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers shapes up as one of the most exciting yet this season. In primetime, Jordan Love looks to elevate his team’s offense in its first game without Tucker Kraft active, leaving plenty of targets open for other weapons in the passing game. Someone needs to step up here, which means Christian Watson has the chance to make a major impact.
Here are the best Christian Watson prop bets for Packers vs. Eagles on Monday Night Football in Week 10.
Best Christian Watson prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Packers’ offense likely sees some major changes in target distribution tonight due to multiple injuries to key contributors. Tucker Kraft saw a target share of 18.7% this season but suffered a season-ending injury last week, leaving nearly six targets per game available. In the short term, rookie Matthew Golden is officially inactive for Week 10 due to a shoulder issue. With the wideout also sidelined, there are even more targets to go around in the passing attack tonight.
That leaves Jordan Love’s options quite limited for this outing. Top receiver Romeo Doubs likely absorbs plenty of that additional volume (find his best prop bets here), and Luke Musgrave may also step up in Kraft’s absence as the new starter at tight end. However, Christian Watson recently returned from an Achilles tear two weeks ago and already looks like his old self. While never a target hog in the Packers’ offense, the former second-round pick has flashed plenty of big-play potential over his NFL career and brings blazing speed as a premier downfield option.
Watson’s prop bet lines on DraftKings Sportsbook sit at 2.5 receptions, 53.5 receiving yards and a longest catch of 22.5 yards. His anytime touchdown scorer odds come in at +270.
The Packers will likely operate in a neutral game script and may even lean a little bit more on the run than usual in the absence of two key pass catchers. However, someone has to catch the football. Given the personnel available tonight, the 2.5-catch line for Watson is far too low. The -121 odds aren’t the most awe-inspiring value, but the wideout is clearly one of the two best weapons available for the Packers’ aerial attack as they face one of the NFC’s best teams. Over 2.5 receptions feels like a very safe pick for this primetime affair on Monday Night Football.
Best Bet: Christian Watson over 2.5 receptions (-121)
