8 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receivers
Romeo Doubs (chest) and
Christian Watson (hamstring) were both limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Doubs left Sunday's Week 18 win over the Chicago Bears with a chest injury and took a trip to the hospital. He was coughing up blood, but the Packers called him day-to-day on Monday, giving him a chance to play in Sunday's wild-card playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys. Watson has missed five straight games but is trending toward a return after being close to playing in the regular season finale. Having all of his receivers healthy for the start of the postseason would be great news for quarterback
Jordan Love, but it's going to be hard for fantasy managers to rely on either Watson or Doubs if they play. Rookie
Jayden Reed is the highest-priced Packers wideout on DraftKings at $5,700 for wild-card weekend.

8 months agoGreen Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that running back
AJ Dillon (neck, thumb) was the only player not to take part in practice on Wednesday. Dillon suffered a stinger in Week 17, didn't practice at all last week and was held out of the Week 18 regular season finale victory over the Chicago Bears. It's not a good start for the 25-year-old this week, but he still has a couple days to return to practice before the team's Sunday playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys. If Dillon can't get back on the practice field and misses a second straight game, it would make
Aaron Jones, who is currently listed at $6,300 on DraftKings, a more attractive DFS piece as Green Bay looks to pull the upset on the road. Since returning from injury in Week 15, Jones has averaged 5.41 yards per carry for 411 rushing yards, although he was unable to find the end zone.

Romeo Doubs (chest) left the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears early on Sunday and was taken to the hospital. Doubs returned to the locker room after the victory but said on the radio that he was coughing up blood. Head coach Matt LaFleur called Doubs day-to-day ahead of this Sunday's wild-card playoff matchup in Dallas against the Cowboys. We're glad the 23-year-old pass-catcher is OK, but it sounds pretty serious and that he may not be available this weekend. Those playing DFS will want to check on his practice status this week. If he cannot go against Dallas, rookies
Jayden Reed and
Dontayvion Wicks and
Bo Melton would step into larger roles. The Packers will also be hoping to get
Christian Watson (hamstring) back for the first time since Week 13.

Tucker Kraft caught all three of his targets for a gain of 31 yards during the team's 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears.
Luke Musgrave made his return this week from a kidney injury, and while his snap share was limited, it was enough to hinder the production of Kraft. The wide receiver corps did the majority of the damage through the air this week, leaving few targets for the rookie. Musgrave will see his role increase as he is further removed from the injury, putting Kraft off the fantasy radar for now. Fantasy managers would be wise to look elsewhere when filling their daily fantasy lineups during Wild Card weekend.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed caught all four of his targets and gained 112 yards during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears. The rookie posted the first 100-yard receiving game of his career in Week 18, with the highlight of the night being a 59-yard catch in the fourth quarter that led to a field goal to put the game further out of reach for Chicago. Reed has been a consistent fantasy force since Week 10, putting up double-digit performances in all but one game during that span.
Christian Watson (hamstring) should be back next week, but with
Romeo Doubs (chest) status now up in the air, Reed will be a popular pickup for those in daily fantasy formats next weekend when the Packers take on the Dallas Cowboys.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks caught six of seven targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears. The rookie caught a touchdown in both the second and third quarters, which ended up being the only two end zone drives of the game. Since Week 14, Wicks has seen his role in the offense increase due to the loss of
Christian Watson (hamstring), and he has capitalized on his opportunity multiple times. Watson should be good to go next week, but now that
Romeo Doubs (chest) status for next week is up in the air, the 22-year-old could be a sneaky flex option for those playing in daily fantasy formats next week when the Packers take on the Dallas Cowboys.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers running back
Aaron Jones took 22 carries for 111 yards and caught all five of his targets for a gain of 30 yards during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears. The veteran has gained more than 100 yards on the ground in the third week in a row. The only thing missing for Jones was a touchdown, a feat he has not achieved since Week 9. While this past season was filled with injuries for the 29-year-old, he is heating up at the right time and will look to parlay his recent success into another monster game next week when the Packers take on the Dallas Cowboys. Jones will be a popular addition to daily fantasy rosters during Wild Card weekend next week.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love completed 27 of 32 passes for 316 yards and two touchdowns, adding three carries for a loss of one yard and losing a fumble during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears. The first-year starter threw for over 300 yards for the second time this season and propelled the Packers to a wild-card spot. Love found rookie wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks in the end zone twice. Love has been playing without multiple receivers all season long but has found a way to succeed both for fantasy and on the NFL field. He will be a popular target in daily fantasy formats next week when the Packers take on the Dallas Cowboys on the road.

Romeo Doubs (chest) exited during the first half of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Prior to departing, he was targeted in the end zone but failed to haul in the pass. The Packers are somewhat shorthanded with both Doubs and
Christian Watson (hamstring, inactive) sidelined, though they should feel solid about their passing attack with
Jordan Love throwing to the likes of
Jayden Reed,
Dontayvion Wicks, and
Tucker Kraft, among others.

Luke Musgrave (kidney) and running back
Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) are active for Week 18 versus the Chicago Bears. Both players had been listed as questionable but were trending in the right direction after being activated from injured reserve on Saturday. Musgrave, who was limited in practice all week long, returns from a six-game absence but could have reduced opportunities given how well
Tucker Kraft has played lately. Meanwhile, Wilson will likely serve as the Packers' No. 3 running back behind
Aaron Jones and
Patrick Taylor. Neither Musgrave nor Wilson are on the fantasy radar this week.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 18 against the Chicago Bears. He had been listed as questionable and there was some optimism that he would play despite missing Friday's practice. In the end, though, Green Bay will hold him out for one more week. This marks Watson's fifth consecutive absence and should lead to more opportunities for
Jayden Reed,
Romeo Doubs, and
Dontayvion Wicks. Of that group, Reed has the most fantasy appeal, ranking as a high-end WR3.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers tight end
Luke Musgrave (kidney) has been activated from the injured reserve ahead of Week 18. This is great news for the Packers as they will get back their rookie tight end before their must-win game against the Chicago Bears. Musgrave has been sidelined since Week 11 due to a lacerated kidney. His return means that fellow tight end
Tucker Kraft won't see as much involvement in the offense. Musgrave could be worth a look as a cheap DFS option given how banged up the Packers are on offense. The assumption is that Musgrave will be back to his every-down role.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft will face off against the Chicago Bears in Week 18. The rookie has been a streaming candidate over the past few weeks in replacement of starter
Luke Musgrave (kidney). However, his role as the starter could come to an end as Musgrave was able to draw the questionable tag heading into the weekend. Thankfully for fantasy managers, Musgrave is still on Injured Reserve, meaning the Packers will have to activate him on Saturday if they wish to have him available on Sunday. If activated, Kraft's role will be unclear, making him tough to trust against Chicago. However, if Musgrave misses one more week, Kraft will remain a top-15 option and have fantasy value for the regular season finale.
