Jordan Love looks to get back into fantasy managers' good graces with a standout performance against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Love has been good, not great with three straight games where he hasn't been a fantasy QB1. The Packers being primarily run-focused hasn't helped with running back
Josh Jacobs' eight touchdowns in his last four games. Getting
Romeo Doubs (concussion) should help Love as Doubs has cleared concussion protocol and will be active for his first game action since Week 12. Love will have his full complement of pass-catchers back, but Seattle's pass defense has been excellent lately as they've allowed the fourth-lowest yards per attempt to quarterbacks since Week 11. Love is more in the streaming category of fantasy quarterback rather than a locked-in starter for Week 15.

Josh Jacobs has been a touchdown-scoring machine for the Packers as of late and will look to continue that run going when Green Bay heads west to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in Week 15. Jacobs has scored eight touchdowns in his last four games, including two of those games with three touchdowns scored. Averaging 73 rushing yards, 33 receiving yards, and 24.6 fantasy points per game in the last four contests, Jacobs has been RB2 in that span only behind just
Saquon Barkley. Seattle has given up the seventh-most rushing yards per game (109.5) this season, so with the Packers being a run-heavy team overall and gladly giving Jacobs all he can handle in terms of rushing volume, consider Jacobs a locked-in RB1 for Week 15.

Romeo Doubs (concussion) has cleared concussion protocol after three consecutive full practices and will be active for the Packers' Week 15 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Doubs has missed two full games since suffering a concussion during the Packers' Week 12 game against the San Francisco 49ers. As a fantasy asset, Doubs has been hit or miss in terms of scoring fantasy points but has been the most consistent player in terms of being on the field as he's run routes on 85-95% of the Packers' dropbacks when active in full games. Against the Seahawks, Doubs is a volatile low-end flex option.

Romeo Doubs (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. It appears Doubs is ready to go after missing each of the two weeks due to a concussion. Doubs hasn't been a great fantasy option lately with four or less receptions in each of his last four games. He does have a plus matchup against the Seahawks secondary this weekend, but is more of a flex option than anything else for Week 15.

Luke Musgrave (ankle) practiced for the second straight day on Thursday. The Packers officially opened Musgrave's 21-day practice window on Wednesday to return from Injured Reserve. He was listed as limited on Wednesday and will likely get the same designation on Thursday. The 24-year-old will be eligible to come off IR this weekend to face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night, but the Packers will make that decision on Saturday. Even if Musgrave returns to the field in Week 15, he'll likely be on a pitch count after not playing since Week 4. Before his injury, Musgrave was the clear TE2 in Green Bay behind
Tucker Kraft, too, catching only five of his seven targets for 22 yards and no touchdowns in four games played. Musgrave should remain on the waiver wire in standard-sized fantasy leagues.

Romeo Doubs (concussion) was at practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Doubs was listed as a full participant on Wednesday, although head coach Matt LaFleur said he's still working through the league's concussion protocol. The 24-year-old pass-catcher suffered a concussion in the Week 12 win over the San Francisco 49ers and hasn't played since, but a full practice on Wednesday suggests he's well on his way to clearing the concussion protocol and playing on Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. His return this weekend would take away valuable targets from fellow wideouts
Jayden Reed,
Christian Watson and
Dontayvion Wicks. The third-year wideout only has two touchdowns on the year and has gone over 50 receiving yards in four of his 10 games in 2024. If Doubs is active against Seattle, he'll be a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex.

Romeo Doubs (concussion) was able to practice in full on Wednesday. "We're making progress but he's still in the protocol," LaFleur said. Doubs suffered a concussion in the Week 12 win over the San Francisco 49ers and has missed each of the last two games. Although he still needs to pass through the NFL's concussion protocol, he appears to be well on his way this week and could return to game action this Sunday night versus the Seattle Seahawks. We won't know more on the 24-year-old's Week 15 status until later in the week, and fantasy managers could be presented with a difficult decision if he's questionable to play on Sunday night. Doubs currently ranks fourth in receiving yards on the team with 483 and third in receptions (34) while scoring two touchdowns in 10 games. If he's active, he'll be a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex in fantasy.

Luke Musgrave (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday after having his practice window opened to return from Injured Reserve. The 2023 second-round pick has not played since Week 4 after suffering an ankle injury that required surgery. The Packers will now have 21 days to activate him to the roster. Even if Musgrave returns before the regular season wraps up, he's unlikely to be on the fantasy football radar after the emergence of fellow second-year tight end
Tucker Kraft. Kraft was playing more snaps than Musgrave before his injury, so we should expect that to continue into the late quarter of the season. So far this year, Musgrave has totaled just five receptions for 22 yards. That said, his usage will be worth monitoring, and he could make an impact in the NFL postseason.
UPDATE: Musgrave was limited in Wednesday's practice.--Jackson Sparks - RotoBallerSource: Tom Silverstein

Jayden Reed put up a donut for his fantasy managers in the Week 14 loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions last Thursday night, which was especially disappointing with
Romeo Doubs (concussion) out. Head coach Matt LaFleur insinuated that the Packers will look to get Reed more involved moving forward with specific packages that make sure he touches the football. "Where we can be better, and I talked to Jayden about this, is just making sure we have some of those plays for him in the game plan where he's tagged to go in there and play wideout. Because he's certainly an impactful player," LaFleur said. Reed, one of the team's best playmakers, only played 50% of the snaps on Thursday and was targeted only once. The 24-year-old could get the squeaky-wheel treatment in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks, but he's been boom or bust for fantasy managers all year with one game all year with more than six targets.

4 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks was solid but unspectacular in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions in Week 14. Wicks had extended playing time thanks to
Romeo Doubs (concussion) being ruled out and was moderately productive, bringing in 4-of-5 targets for 49 receiving yards. Two of his receptions in back-to-back plays of 28 and 12 yards directly led to great field position where the Packers eventually settled for a game-tying field goal. The Packers will head west to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in Week 15 and if Doubs remains out, Wicks will be a low-end flex option for fantasy managers.

Tucker Kraft continued his fine fantasy season as he got into the end zone in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions in Week 14. Kraft caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from quarterback
Jordan Love in the third quarter; his only touchdown pass of the night. With only 20 passing attempts, there wasn't much volume to be had by the Packers' pass-catchers, but Kraft reeled 3-of-5 targets for 41 yards. Next up for the Packers is a date with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15 where Kraft should be considered a low-end TE1 for fantasy managers.

Christian Watson posted his second 100-yard game in the last four contests as the Packers lost 34-31 to the Detroit Lions. Watson led the Packers with seven targets and caught four passes for 114 yards, pacing the Packers on the receiving end of things. After losing a fumble at the end of the first quarter, Watson made a few long catches, including a 59-yard reception in the third quarter. With
Romeo Doubs (concussion) out for Week 14, Watson got some extended playing time and took advantage with a big game on not a ton of volume. Depending on the health of Doubs, Watson will once again be a boom-or-bust fantasy flex when the Packers head west to Seattle to face the Seahawks in Week 15.

Josh Jacobs provided most of the Packers' scoring as he was a massive part of the game plan in their eventual 34-31 loss to the Detroit Lions. Jacobs was solid on the ground, piling up 66 yards on the ground on 18 rushing attempts, but he scored three times to highlight Jacobs' stellar performance. Pacing the Packers' offense as the closer to three of their four touchdown drives, Jacobs plunged in a one-yard score in the second quarter, a six-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and a four-yard plunge. Jacobs almost had a fourth touchdown through the air as well, if not for an offensive pass interference penalty. Week 14 was Jacobs' second three-touchdown game in the last three games, so Jacobs is clearly a must-start fantasy option at running back heading into Week 15's tilt against the Seattle Seahawks.

Jordan Love was a bit of a disappointment in the Packers' 34-31 last-second loss to the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions in Week 14. Love only had 20 pass attempts, completing 12-of-20 pass attempts for 206 yards and a single touchdown pass to
Tucker Kraft in the beginning of the third quarter. On the ground, Love also added 23 yards on the ground, most of that coming from an eight-yard scramble in the first drive and then a 14-yard scramble in the second quarter. Without much in the way of passing volume, it would have taken extreme efficiency for Love to thrive from a fantasy perspective. He'll look to improve in Week 15, where he and the Packers will travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. Consider Love a back-end fantasy QB1 for that matchup.
