Jimmy Graham Not Recommended In Week 17

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (veteran rest) is not a recommended option against the Detroit Lions in Week 17, despite the favorable matchup. Graham hasn't found the end zone since Week 7 and hasn't gone over 50 receiving yards since Week 10. The 33-year-old has also been competing with Robert Tonyan and Mercedes […]

Geronimo Allison Off The Fantasy Radar

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison isn't a recommended option against the Detroit Lions in Week 17. Allison hasn't caught more than four passes in a game and has exceeded 50 receiving yards only once. The 25-year-old has seen a decrease in snaps since Week 12. He shouldn't be near lineups in Week 17.

Allen Lazard A Flex Play If He's Able To Go

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) has logged two limited sessions in practice this week. If he's able to play, he should be in the conversation as a flex play against the Detroit Lions, who have the worst pass defense in the league. They've allowed the third-most pass plays of 20 yards or […]

Davante Adams Gets Great Matchup In Week 17

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams faces the league-worst pass defense of the Detroit Lions in Week 17. Adams has been the Packers' undisputed number-one receiver since returning from injury, with double-digit targets in all but one game. He's had three 100-yard games and has scored four touchdowns after failing to find the end […]

Jamaal Williams A Low-End Flex If He Plays

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (shoulder) hasn't practiced yet this week ahead of a favorable Week 17 matchup with the Detroit Lions. If he does play, he'll take on a Lions team that he piled up 136 scrimmage yards and a touchdown against in Week 6. Unfortunately, Williams has taken a backseat to […]

Aaron Jones A Must-Start Against Lions

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will face the Detroit Lions in Week 17. Jones didn't do so hot the last time he faced the Lions, though he's red-hot heading into this one. The 24-year-old exploded for a career-high 154 rushing yards and two touchdowns against the Vikings. More importantly, he saw 23 carries […]

Aaron Rodgers Should Be Able to Do Damage Against Lions

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers draws a favorable Week 17 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Rodgers didn't have a great game against Minnesota last week, as he was uncharacteristically inaccurate. The 36-year-old gets a great chance to bounce back against the Detroit Lions, who currently own the league's worst pass defense. Over the last […]

Michael Thomas Limited On Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hand) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, though there appears to be at least some doubt in regards to his status after two limited sessions this week, albeit one being a hypothetical practice report. Thomas will look to get in […]

Drew Brees Upgraded To Full Participant On Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. Brees showed up as limited on a "hypothetical" practice report, though Coach Sean Payton said Brees is "fine." Fire up the red-hot signal-caller as a QB1 in a big game against the Carolina […]

Jamaal Williams Logs Second Straight DNP On Thursday

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (shoulder) wasn't able to practice for the second straight day. Williams injured his shoulder in the third quarter of Green Bay's game against the Vikings and wasn't able to return. As of now, he's trending in the wrong direction with two DNPs. Hopefully, he can get even a […]

Allen Lazard, Jimmy Graham Limited On Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) and tight end Jimmy Graham (veteran rest) were both limited in Thursday's practice. Lazard has logged back-to-back limited sessions and seems destined to have a questionable tag for Sunday's game. Graham is likely to suit up on Sunday, as this has been his practice routine to keep […]
