Parris Campbell and Christian Watson are wide receivers for the Indianapolis Colts and the Green Bay Packers, respectively. Both have shown flashes of brilliance but lack the consistent production to be guaranteed starters in fantasy football. For the most part, these two can be streamed based on their matchups or sitting on the bench as they have the potential to breakout.

This is what happened to Watson last week. The Packers finally won last week, following a string of five defeats. Their 31-28 win against the Cowboys marked a revival of hope in Green Bay and also the breakout of rookie Christian Watson. He scored three touchdowns off four receptions for 107 yards.

Another team that was starving for a win was the Indianapolis Colts, who suffered three straight losses dating back to Week 7. The Colts defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 25-20 and are now placed second in the AFC South. Parris Campbell had seven receptions from nine targets for 76 yards and a touchdown.

With both performing in Week 10, this could be the time to start one. We recommend that you start Christian Watson in Week 11. Here's why:

The crux of the matter is this: With Romeo Doubs and Randall Cobb out of the picture this week, the Packers will lean on Christian Watson. He and Allen Lazard will be the focal points of the Green Bay passing game, and a matchup against the Tennessee Titans could be promising.

Parris Campbell and the Colts face the Philadelphia Eagles, who will be smarting after a defeat against the Washington Commanders. This could be a tough matchup for an offense that hasn't played to its potential in the 2022 season. You could make a similar argument with Green Bay, however, their matchup seems more favorable.

Christian Watson has played seven games and started in four of them. In his first six games, he scored a total of 16.7 fantasy points, but earned 28.7 points in Week 10 against the Cowboys.

Parris Campbell might have more overall fantasy points than Watson, but he hasn't played a 100+ yards game this season. He has also started in more games than Watson and has had greater opportunities. There is a chance he has a big game against the Eagles, but that seems less likely than Watson this week.
