Jayden Reed will draw a tough matchup this Thursday when Green Bay hosts the visiting Miami Dolphins. The second-year wideout is the thirteenth-overall scorer at his position in PPR formats this season, but five of his 11 performances have resulted in single-digit outings. He'll have his hands full this Thanksgiving with a Dolphins defense that's allowed the seventh-fewest receptions to wide receivers in 2024 (118). Though unfortunate news for Green Bay, with teammate
Romeo Doubs (concussion) ruled out for the contest, Reed figures to see an uptick in usage. While Miami has been stingy, they've afforded several big performances to tight ends and top-flight wide receivers. Pencil reed in as a WR2 with what should be a higher-than-usual fantasy floor with a more concentrated target share. He's RotoBaller's PPR WR23 for this week's rankings.

Josh Jacobs could be in store for a huge day in Week 13 when he lines up against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday. The Oklahoma native has been running hot since Week 7, averaging 22.1 fantasy points per game over the five outings. Additionally, while Miami's D may seem like a bad matchup on paper -- allowing the eleventh-fewest rushing yards through 11 games (1,176) -- they've been a favorable spot for fantasy RBs, letting up 19.1 fantasy points per game to the position. The Dolphins have been solid against their opponents' passing attacks, and Green Bay totes the rock 50.95% of the time -- the fifth-highest in the league. The Pack may lean on Jacobs again as they did last week in their win over San Francisco, which could lead to a lucrative fantasy day. The 26-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR RB11 for this week's slate.

4 months agoThe Green Bay Packers listed wide receiver
Romeo Doubs (concussion) as a non-participant on their estimated practice report on Monday. The Packers didn't officially hold a practice. Doubs suffered a concussion in the Week 12 win over the San Francisco 49ers and is likely fighting an uphill battle to clear the league's concussion protocol with the team's next game coming on Thanksgiving night on Thursday against the Miami Dolphins. The Packers still have two more days of practice this week, but fantasy managers shouldn't be planning on having Doubs available in Week 13. If the 24-year-old is inactive on Thursday,
Christian Watson,
Jayden Reed and
Dontayvion Wicks will all become much more attractive plays in fantasy lineups. Tight end
Tucker Kraft would likely see more targets as well.
Malik Heath, who caught a TD on Sunday, would have a bigger role, too.

4 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson had an afternoon to forget despite his team's 38-10 rout over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Watson was targeted three times on the day, with the most notable being an on-target pass from quarterback
Jordan Love that bounced off the outstretched hands of Watson where it was a likely touchdown had Watson come down with it. Love tried to get another pass to Watson to atone for that blunder, but it was almost intercepted. Coming off a four-catch, 150-yard effort last week, Watson disappointed fantasy managers and illustrated the "boom-or-bust" nature of his fantasy value. With the Packers staying home to host the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving, Watson is a volatile flex option with a sky-high ceiling and a rock-bottom floor for fantasy in Week 13.

4 months agoGreen Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft found his way back into the good graces of fantasy managers as Kraft got into the end zone in the Packers' 38-10 rout over the San Francisco 49ers. Kraft did not earn a bunch of volume in the Packers' victory, as he caught both of his targets for 26 receiving yards, but his first catch was an 11-yard strike from quarterback
Jordan Love to kick off the scoring for the Packers. There hasn't been much target volume to go around for the Packers, so Kraft has been more of a "touchdown-or-bust" tight end rather than an every-week starter. With the Packers hosting the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving in Week 13, Kraft is a high-end streaming tight end option for fantasy managers given that all 32 teams are playing next week.

4 months agoThe Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit bounced back from a couple of subpar outings to post their best game in the past six weeks in Week 12. The Packers D/ST forced an interception and corralled a fumble recovery from the hands of 49ers backup quarterback
Brandon Allen as well as sacking him twice on the afternoon. The opportunistic Packers' defense also forced a fumble on
Christian McCaffrey as Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon punched the ball out and lineman Karl Brooks recovered. The Packers' defense looks to build from their momentum against the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving evening. The Packers are a startable defense for fantasy managers even with the short turnaround.
--Kevin Tompkins - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
4 months agoGreen Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus was perfect on all his kicks as the Packers stymied the San Francisco 49ers 38-10 in Week 12. McManus put the exclamation point on six scoring drives with five successful point after attempts and one field goal, a 51-yarder made in the waning seconds of the first quarter. The Packers dominated throughout the game and McManus wasn't needed for a large chunk of the game minus the point-after attempts. His steady leg has earned him quite a bit of trust with the Packers. McManus and the Packers host the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving night in Week 13, where McManus will be a low-end starting kicker for fantasy managers looking to capitalize on a Packers' offense that's building momentum.

4 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed was a minor part of the Packers' 38-10 blowout of the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Reed has struggled with consistency all season and in Week 12, it was no different as he earned just three targets, catching all three of them for 26 yards. With the targets for the Packers spread out, Reed's three targets tied
Christian Watson for second on the team. Despite that, his low production is no doubt souring fantasy managers who thought they would be getting more big plays out of the second-year pro from Michigan State. With a short turnaround to Thanksgiving Night where the Packers host the Miami Dolphins in Week 13, consider Reed a high-end WR3 for fantasy purposes.

Josh Jacobs had his best game as a Packer as he rumbled for three touchdowns in the Packers' 38-10 drubbing over the San Francisco 49ers. Jacobs was a fixture of the 49ers' second level as he ripped off multiple runs of 10-plus yards and ended up with 106 rushing yards on 26 carries. Scoring all three touchdowns from one yard out in the second, third, and fourth quarters, Jacobs was the finisher and was the key part of the Packers' huge win. After this huge game where he no doubt delighted Packers fans and fantasy managers alike, Jacobs will set his sights on the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving. Jacobs will be a locked-in RB1 against Miami in that matchup on Thursday night.

4 months agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love kept the mistakes to a minimum as he threw two touchdown passes and led the Packers to a dominant 38-10 win at home over the San Francisco 49ers. Love bookended his touchdown passes as he connected with
Tucker Kraft from 11 yards out to kick off the game's scoring and then threw the game's final score to
Malik Heath in the fourth quarter for a three-yard touchdown. Love also added two yards on his lone rushing attempt. Only needing 23 pass attempts, Love was a little shaky on the efficiency, but Love's services weren't needed as the Packers employed a heavy ground-game approach thanks to
Josh Jacobs' three touchdowns. The Packers have a short turnaround as they host Thanksgiving night's contest against the Miami Dolphins, where Love will be a low-end fantasy starter.

Josh Jacobs (cramping) returned to Sunday's matchup against the 49ers. Jacobs has had a stellar showing in Week 12, accumulating 99 yards and two scores off 22 touches. Fortunately, there wasn't much concern regarding his return for this one after he exited due to cramping. However, with the Packers up by two scores heading toward the middle of the fourth quarter, Jacobs may not see much work for the remainder of the contest.

Josh Jacobs (cramping) is questionable to return to Sunday's meeting with the 49ers. The veteran has had a monster showing in Week 12, amassing 99 yards and two touchdowns off 22 carries. Fortunately, it doesn't appear as if things are serious, so there's a chance he'll return. But with the Packers up in the contest, he may not be needed for the rest of the day, which would open the door for
Emanuel Wilson to get more work.

Romeo Doubs (concussion) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the 49ers. The wideout was leading the way on the receiving end before going down with a concussion, so he'll finish the day with three catches for 54 yards. With that said, the Packers have a quick turnaround before meeting the Dolphins on Thanksgiving, meaning Doubts may not have enough time to get healthy. But until he's back on the field,
Christian Watson and
Jayden Reed will likely be the favorite targets of
Jordan Love.
