Garrett Wilson or Christian Watson: Who is a better fantasy pick?

Garrett Wilson and Christian Watson are the wide receivers for the New York Jets and the Green Bay Packers, respectively. Both players have started their NFL careers this season and are doing particularly well for their teams.

The New York Jets are having a stellar season and earned a big 20-17 victory against the Buffalo Bills in the Week 9 game. Wilson led the team in receiving yards and caught eight receptions from nine targets in 92 yards.

After five consecutive defeats, the Packers finally won a game last week. Their 31-28 victory over the Dallas Cowboys signified their game-winning comeback, and all credit goes to wide receiver Watson.

Packers wide receiver Christian Watson played a memorable game. He scored three touchdowns and had four receptions on eight targets for 107 yards. His first touchdown of the season came in his last match, followed by two more that helped the Packers win against the Cowboys.

Both players look healthy and will play in Week 11. Who will you start? Garrett Wilson or Christian Watson? We would suggest that you start with Wilson in the upcoming week. Here's why.

Why Garrett Wilson is a better fantasy pick in Week 11 than Christian Watson

New York Jets v Cleveland Browns

Wilson has started five of the nine games and played two 100+ yard games this season. He has excellent chemistry with Zach Wilson, and in the last two weeks, the two have hooked up 14 catches on 16 targets for 207 yards.

Garrett Wilson has earned 64.6 fantasy points so far in nine games and is more consistent in scoring points than Watson. Wilson looks promising and is looking to make another big play as the Jets face the New England Patriots again on Sunday.

The Patriots defeated the Jets in Week 8 but are comparatively weaker opponents when compared to the Tennessee Titans.

Wilson caught six targets on seven receptions for 115 yards in the matchup against the Patriots and earned around 11.5 fantasy points. Expect a similar play from Wilson, and if he scores one or two touchdowns, his fantasy score can shoot up to 20 or more.

Watson performed exceptionally well in the last game against the Cowboys, but in fantasy football, you can't trust a player who played well in just one game out of seven. Moreover, the Packers will face the Tennessee Titans in their Week 11 game. It will be a tough matchup for the Packers, as they are already struggling with their offensive game.

Watson might have a big game against the Titans, but that seems less likely than Wilson this week.
