Romeo Doubs (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol on Tuesday. The third-year wideout suffered a concussion in the Week 12 win over the San Francisco 49ers and missed the Thanksgiving game against the Miami Dolphins in Week 13. He's still uncertain to face the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football, so fantasy managers will have to stay in the know over the next couple of days. The 24-year-old has hauled in 34 passes for 483 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games this season. In his absence last Thursday,
Tucker Kraft led the team with seven targets. He is likely the biggest beneficiary of another potential Doubs absence. If Doubs suits up, he's a mid-level flex option against a Detroit defense that has been friendly to fantasy wideouts.

4 months agoGreen Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) was able to get through a limited practice session on Monday. That is good news considering Alexander has missed three of the last four games due to a partial torn PCL. Alexander will need to continue practicing through the rest of the week in order to have a chance at suiting up for Thursday's game against the Detroit Lions. The return of the All-Pro defensive back would be a huge boost for this defense for this Week 14 matchup.

Josh Jacobs (calf) is included on the Week 14 injury report and was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday with a calf injury. Jacobs' calf injury is worth watching, but as long as he doesn't suffer any sort of setback on Tuesday or Wednesday, he should be ready to roll for a second straight Thursday contest, this time against the division-rival Detroit Lions. The 26-year-old former Raiders back has a streak of five straight games with 100-plus yards from scrimmage, so he should remain in all starting fantasy lineups despite an upcoming unfriendly matchup on the road in a hostile environment. In the last five games, Jacobs has 590 scrimmage yards and seven rushing scores on 112 touches. In the first meeting against the Lions on Nov. 3, Jacobs had 13 carries for 95 yards and caught two passes for 13 additional yards.

4 months agoAccording to head coach Matt LaFleur, Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs (concussion) could play against the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football. "He has progressed to the point where he could possibly play vs. Detroit on Thursday." Rob Demovsky of ESPN notes that Doubs is still in the league's protocol, although there is optimism since he has practiced the last two days. The Nevada product leads all Packers' receivers in snaps despite missing two complete games. If he can suit up, he'd be a boon against a Detroit defense exploitable by fantasy wide receivers, serving up the fourth-most points to the position (39.9). If he can't, expect teammate
Dontayvion Wicks to fill in for him again, as he played a substantial 89% of snaps in their Thanksgiving win over the Miami Dolphins.

Romeo Doubs (concussion) was seen at practice on Sunday after suffering a concussion last week against the 49ers. This is a good sign in terms of his availability for their Week 14 matchup against the Detroit Lions. So far this season, Doubs has amassed 34 receptions for 483 yards and two touchdowns. If he's able to suit up,
Christian Watson and
Jayden Reed will have to split some more targets between the three of them.

4 months agoThe Packers' defense and special teams' unit were very busy on Thanksgiving night as they beat the Miami Dolphins 30-17. The Packers D/ST got to Dolphins quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa five times on the night as the pass rush from Green Bay was relentless. Green Bay also capitalized on a muffed punt by
Malik Washington that the Packers pounced on and that swing in field position led to the Packers' first touchdown of the game. With the Packers heading to Ford Field to take on the Detroit Lions in Week 13's Thursday Night Football, it's probably a good idea to leave the Packers D/ST on your bench or on waivers given the potency of the Lions' offense.

Brandon McManus was perfect, making every kick for the Packers as the team handled the Miami Dolphins 30-17. McManus was busy on the night as he booted a 46-yard field goal to end the first half and then chipped in with two more field goals from 24 and 33 yards. On point-after attempts, McManus was perfect yet again, nailing all three extra points on the night. With the Packers heading east to Detroit to take on the Lions, McManus should have plenty of opportunities for the Packers, so consider him a solid streaming candidate for fantasy at kicker.

4 months agoGreen Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft was involved plenty in the Packers' passing game as the team beat the Miami Dolphins 30-17 on Thanksgiving night. Kraft's penchant for gaining and earning volume was on full display as he earned seven targets, catching six of them for 78 yards; all team-highs on the night. Running hot and cold for fantasy purposes, this was the rare game where Kraft put up a usable stat line without scoring a touchdown, so this game could be some growth in Kraft's role moving forward. Looking at Kraft's next matchup in Detroit against the rival Lions, he should be considered a low-end TE1 for fantasy purposes.

Christian Watson brought in a couple of big plays in Green Bay's 30-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving night. Watson put Week 12's blanking behind him as he caught two of his four targets on the night for 67 yards; the first being a 21-yard grab that set up
Jayden Reed's second touchdown, and his other catch being a 46-yard snag in third quarter that helped set up a field goal. We know Watson is always a threat to bring in a big play, but his role in the offense is very boom-or-bust for fantasy purposes. Watson's next game will be in Detroit against the Lions, and he should be considered a low-end flex play for that matchup.

4 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed made the most of his catches in Week 13 as the Packers beat the Dolphins 30-17. Reed earned six targets on the night, catching three of them for 24 yards and scoring two touchdowns on the night. Kicking off the game's scoring was Reed, who caught a three-yard touchdown. Later, inside two minutes remaining in the first half, Reed caught a 12-yard touchdown from
Jordan Love. Reed has been hot and cold this season, but he was clearly prioritized in this one. With the Packers heading to the Motor City to take on the rival Detroit Lions next Thursday night, Reed should get mid-range WR2 treatment, knowing his week-to-week production can be spotty.

Josh Jacobs had a productive day at the office as the Packers rolled up the Miami Dolphins 30-17 at Lambeau Field on Thursday night. Jacobs took quite a bit of rushing volume but was pretty inefficient with it, as he rushed 19 times for 43 yards, but he got into the end zone toward the end of the first quarter. Where Jacobs made his night was in the passing game, as he caught all four of his targets for 74 yards, including a 49-yard catch and run in the fourth quarter. Jacobs should be considered a low-end fantasy RB1 for Thursday Night Football next week when the Packers will travel to Ford Field to take on the Detroit Lions.

4 months agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love was efficient and on point much of the night as the Packers beat the Dolphins 30-17 on Thanksgiving night. Love was 21-of-28 passing for 274 yards with two touchdowns on the night; both strikes to
Jayden Reed from three yards out to kick off the scoring and from 12 yards out in the second quarter. Getting back into the swing of things was Love, as he put together back-to-back multi-touchdown efforts since the five-game streak of multiple touchdowns to kick off the 2024 season. With a showdown looming with the Detroit Lions, Love is a low-end fantasy QB1.

4 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks is not a reliable fantasy option heading into Thursday's game against the Miami Dolphins. The 23-year-old has struggled to separate himself from the other top receivers in Green Bay's offense. He played just 39 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 12 and has just one catch over his last three games. A matchup against the Dolphins, who have allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers, doesn't help his case. Wicks remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues for Week 13.

Tucker Kraft is a high-end TE2 for his outing against the visiting Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving. Kraft had a stretch earlier this season between Weeks 4-8, where he was the TE4, but has seen his production tick down a bit as quarterback
Jordan Love's pass attempts have scaled back amid a string of tough matchups. With wide receiver
Romeo Doubs (concussion) ruled out for the matchup, Kraft and fellow pass-catchers
Jayden Reed and
Christian Watson should all get a slight bump in target share. However, fantasy managers can likely do better than the 24-year-old, as he's little more than a touchdown-dependent option unless the game evolves into a shootout. With two defensive units solid against the pass, it seems unlikely. He's RotoBaller's PPR TE14 in Week 13's ranks.

Christian Watson will line up against the Miami Dolphins this Thursday in an intriguing matchup. The North Dakota State alum has a chance to be more involved in Week 13, as the Packers will be without fellow wideout
Romeo Doubs (concussion) on Thanksgiving Day. Two weeks ago, he set a career-high with 150 receiving yards in the team's win over the Chicago Bears. However, he promptly followed that up with a zero-catch three-target outing in Week 12 against the 49ers. While Watson projects to see an uptick in usage, he'll still be challenging to trust this Thursday. The Dolphins have allowed some big performances to pass-catchers this season but have generally been strong against opposing quarterbacks.
Jordan Love will be one of their most significant tests yet, but the third-year WR's fantasy value heavily hinges on his quarterback. With a wide range of potential fantasy outcomes, the 25-year-old finds himself as RotoBaller's PPR WR50 in this week's ranks.
