2 months agoThe Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit were busy against the Indianapolis Colts in Green Bay's Week 2 home opener. The Packers forced three interceptions from Colts quarterback
Anthony Richardson as he completed 50% of his passes. Devonte Wyatt added the lone sack for the Packers, while Xavier McKinney, Evan Williams, and Eric Wilson added the interceptions in the win. The Packers were excellent throughout, only giving up 10 points to the Colts and being in control through the majority of the game. Next week, the Packers will travel to Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans, where the Packers should be considered a starting D/ST in fantasy football given the turnover-prone nature of Titans' quarterback
Will Levis.

Brayden Narveson had a solid day at the office in his first game at Lambeau Field since being picked up by the Packers after the preseason. In the Packers' 16-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2, Narveson booted three field goals from distances of 46, 42, and 34, plus an extra point on the Packers' lone touchdown of the day in the first quarter. Narveson also missed a field goal attempt from 45 yards wide right toward the end of the fourth quarter. With Narveson making 6-of-8 field goals on the season, he's starting to make some waves in fantasy football. If you need a kicker in a pinch, the Packers play the Tennessee Titans in Week 3, you can do much worse than Narveson, who has been advertised in his short career. The Packers should need Narveson's services in Week 3, so consider him a low-end streaming option at the position.

2 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks had a solid day's work in the Packers' 16-10 win at home against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. Wicks earned a team-leading four targets, hauling in three of those targets for 26 yards. The lone passing touchdown from starting quarterback
Malik Willis was scored by Wicks as he caught a 14-yard touchdown late in the first quarter. With just 14 passing attempts to go around for the Packers, Wicks made the most of his opportunities. While he's still behind in the pecking order among the team's wide receivers, Wicks is utilized plenty in the Packers' offense. For fantasy purposes, Wicks is tough to trust, so he's not going to be a recommended start in fantasy football when the Packers head to Tennessee to face the Titans in Week 3.

2 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs had a solid day given the lack of passing volume afforded to the Packers' pass-catchers in their 16-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. Doubs caught all three of his targets for a team-leading 62 receiving yards, capped by a 39-yard strike from starting quarterback
Malik Willis early in the fourth quarter. With the Packers only dropping back to pass 19 times and throwing only 14 times, the pass-catchers didn't have too much to work with thanks to the game plan by head coach Matt LaFleur to lean heavily on the run game and an opportunistic defense that forced three turnovers. Doubs and the Packers will head southeast to Nashville to play the Tennessee Titans in Week 3, but Doubs will merely be a flex play in fantasy.

2 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed was lightly involved in the Packers' 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. Reed caught both of his targets on the day for nine yards while adding another 37 yards rushing on two carries. Dealing with a calf injury that had Reed miss some practice time in the lead-up to Week 2, Reed looked great, lessening some of the concern moving forward. While Reed was utilized creatively in the early going, he didn't do enough in terms of production to make a dent in fantasy teams on Sunday. With only 14 pass attempts and 19 dropbacks total for starting quarterback
Malik Willis, there just wasn't too much to go around for the Packers' pass-catching group. The Packers will travel to Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans in Week 3, and for fantasy, Reed should be considered a low-end WR3 or FLEX play for Green Bay.

2 months agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Malik Willis was thrust into the spotlight after
Jordan Love (knee) was ruled out after hurting his knee during the final moments of Green Bay's Week 1 loss. In the Week 2 victory against the Colts, Willis completed 12-of-14 pass attempts for 122 yards and a touchdown pass to
Dontayvion Wicks in the first quarter. Willis also added 41 rushing yards on six carries without any turnovers in the victory. While this performance was unexpected considering his career arc to this point, head coach Matt LaFleur had a masterful game plan to not put too much on Willis' plate and lean on the run heavily, with 14 pass attempts to 53 rushing attempts in the game. Willis and the Packers travel to Tennessee to play the Titans in Week 3. For fantasy purposes, Willis should be considered a low-end QB2 for that matchup.

2 months agoGreen Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs was a busy man during the Packers' 16-10 win against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. Jacobs rushed for 151 yards on 32 carries as the Packers leaned heavily on the run with
Jordan Love (knee) ruled out for Week 2 and
Malik Willis starting in Love's place. A fumble near the end zone in the middle of the second quarter cost Jacobs a chance to add a touchdown to his ledger. Jacobs has averaged 24 carries in his two games thus far in 2024 for a robust 4.9 yards per carry, so this new change in scenery for the 26-year-old back may have been just what the doctor ordered. The Packers will travel to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans, where Jacobs will be a low-end RB1 in fantasy no matter who is under center for Green Bay.

2 months agoGreen Bay Packers running back
MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) exited during the second half of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts and is officially questionable to return. He was making his NFL debut this week after missing Week 1 with a hamstring injury. At the time of his departure, he had 15 rushing yards and three receiving yards.
Emanuel Wilson will serve as the primary backup to
Josh Jacobs for the duration of Lloyd's absence.

2 months agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Green Bay technically left the door open for him to play by listing him as doubtful, but it was always clear that he wasn't going to suit up. The talented, young quarterback injured his MCL late in the season opener against Philadelphia and is expected to miss roughly three games, giving him a Week 5 return date. Until then,
Malik Willis will quarterback the Packers. He has yet to prove himself as a capable starting quarterback in the NFL, which means fantasy managers should temper expectations for the Packers and their playmakers, including
Josh Jacobs,
Jayden Reed, and
Christian Watson.

2 months agoGreen Bay Packers running back
MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction throughout the weekend. As Lloyd makes his NFL debut, he could steal some touches from backup
Emanuel Wilson. Both backs are expected to touch the ball Sunday despite operating behind
Josh Jacobs. In fact, Green Bay could have a heavy dependence on its rushing attack with
Malik Willis starting in place of the injured
Jordan Love (knee). If the Packers want to keep the clock ticking and reduce the chances of a Willis turnover, we could see a lot of opportunities for Jacobs with Lloyd and Wilson each getting at least a handful of touches, too. Still, Lloyd is not an appealing redraft option and can be left on the bench in most dynasty leagues, too.

2 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (calf, shin) is officially active for Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Still, as the weekend progressed, Reed was trending toward playing. Indeed, he'll suit up on Sunday. Unfortunately for Reed and his fantasy managers, the Packers have ruled out quarterback
Jordan Love (knee), which means
Malik Willis will get the start at quarterback. It's unclear whether Willis is capable of supporting steady fantasy production from his playmakers, which means Reed drops to the WR3/FLEX tier in most leagues this week. He can still get involved in the rushing attack and break off big plays, but it's hard to envision him replicating his 138 receiving yards from the season opener.

2 months agoGreen Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson was the primary backup behind
Josh Jacobs during the season opener. The 25-year-old did well as he rushed for 46 yards on four yards with two receptions as well. It was a decent outing given his fairly small workload, which could be reduced even more in Week 2. Fellow back
MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is expected to suit up against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend. He figures to be in the mix as well behind Jacobs, which means there probably won't be much fantasy value from Wilson or Lloyd. Both backs are going to play second fiddle to Jacobs who is the workhorse back in Green Bay. The other two backs could be worth stashing in deep leagues, but they aren't worth starting right now.

2 months agoGreen Bay Packers running back
MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite that, Lloyd is expected to suit up and make his NFL debut. This same hamstring issue held him out during the season opener, but it appears Lloyd is feeling better now. He figures to serve as the primary backup to
Josh Jacobs. His workload is unknown, but he should at least be involved in the rushing attack. The rookie back isn't worth starting while Jacobs is healthy, but he should be rostered in all dynasty leagues and stashed in deep leagues.
