9 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs will go on the road to take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. The second-year receiver has filled in as the No. 1 option for the Packers, with
Christian Watson (hamstring) missing the past three games. Watson is set to miss his fourth game in a row this week, and rookie
Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) is listed as questionable without practicing all week. Doubs finally capitalized on his increased role last week, catching four of five passes for 79 yards and a score. Minnesota allows the ninth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this year, putting Doubs back on the fantasy radar in Week 17.
Jayden Reed will be active after missing last week and will eat into the total target share, but fantasy managers can take the shot on Doubs as a flex if needed this weekend.

AJ Dillon will go on the road to take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. The 25-year-old has been limited in practice due to a thumb injury but was left off the final injury report and will be active Sunday night. With
Aaron Jones back and at full strength, Dillon has taken a back seat and seen his touch total plummet. He recorded seven carries last week and was bailed out by sneaking into the end zone on a goal line carry. Minnesota is no slouch against the run and held Dillon to just 11 yards on the ground in their meeting earlier this year. With no guaranteed workload, the Packers' No. 2 back is outside of flex consideration in Week 17.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers running back
Aaron Jones will go on the road to take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. The veteran was limited in practice this week due to a finger and knee injury but was left off of the final injury report and is ready to roll for Sunday night. Jones exploded for 135 total yards last week against the Carolina Panthers and will look to parlay that performance into another successful night against Minnesota. The Vikings' defense has been solid against the run this season and held Jones to just 29 rushing yards in their meeting earlier this year. However, with Jones seeing the bulk of carries, he remains a top-24 option heading into the weekend.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers rookie wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks (chest) was "very limited" in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable to play on Sunday night in Week 17 against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Wicks injured his chest in the Week 16 win over the Carolina Panthers and appears to be on the wrong side of questionable to suit up on Sunday night. The Packers are going to be missing
Christian Watson (hamstring) for the fourth straight game as well, so rookie
Jayden Reed (toe),
Romeo Doubs and rookie tight end
Tucker Kraft figure to be quarterback
Jordan Love's top three targets through the air in a difficult matchup on the road. If Wicks is out on Sunday night, rookie
Malik Heath will likely have an expanded role as the No. 3 receiver.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers rookie wide receiver
Jayden Reed (chest, toe) is off the final Week 17 injury report and will play on Sunday night versus the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Reed missed the Week 16 win over the Carolina Panthers and should be returning to a significant role in Green Bay's offense with
Christian Watson (hamstring) likely to miss his fourth straight game and fellow rookie
Dontayvion Wicks (chest) questionable to play. The 23-year-old had been a very big part of the team's offense leading up to his missed contest on Christmas Eve. The rookie second-rounder out of Michigan State has scored five touchdowns (three receiving, two rushing) in his previous six games on 31 receptions (42 targets) for 259 yards. Reed scored two rushing TDs on nine attempts for 100 yards. He could end up being a sneaky flex play in fantasy lineups, especially if Wicks also ends up sitting out Sunday evening.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that rookie tight end
Luke Musgrave (kidney) is listed as doubtful to be activated from Injured Reserve to play in Sunday night's game against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. The Packers designated Musgrave to return from Injured Reserve this week and he got back to a few limited practices, but he's not expected to play this weekend and might also be kept out for the Week 18 regular season finale next Sunday against the Chicago Bears. With Musgrave and receiver
Christian Watson (hamstring) doubtful to play against the Vikings and with rookie wideouts
Jayden Reed (toe) and
Dontayvion Wicks (chest) up in the air to play, rookie tight end
Tucker Kraft could see his fair share of targets in Week 17, putting him on the TE1/2 borderline in fantasy.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver
Christian Watson (hamstring) is doubtful to play on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings to close out Week 17 action. Watson was trending this way after missing practice on Wednesday and Friday. It looks like the 24-year-old will miss his fourth straight game this weekend after injuring his hamstring at the end of the Week 13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Rookies
Jayden Reed (toe) and
Dontayvion Wicks (chest) are also in danger of sitting out against Minnesota, which would leave the Packers dangerously thin at wideout with
Romeo Doubs in line to handle as many targets as he can. In the event that Watson, Reed and Wicks are all out, rookie
Malik Heath and
Samori Toure would round out three-receiver sets for Green Bay.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers rookie tight end
Luke Musgrave (kidney) put in his second straight day of limited practice on Thursday. Musgrave remains on Injured Reserve but is trying to get himself ready to return for the tail end of the 2023 regular season. The 23-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a lacerated kidney in Week 11. Musgrave is hoping to come off Injured Reserve in order to play in Week 17 against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night, but he might need to put in a full practice before that happens. If the rookie does return this weekend, fantasy managers will want to stay away from him with championships on the line in their leagues. Fellow rookie
Tucker Kraft has been a decent TE2 streamer in deeper leagues in recent weeks with Musgrave sidelined.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers running backs
Aaron Jones (finger, knee) and
AJ Dillon (thumb) were both limited in the team's practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Both Jones and Dillon were on the injury report going into Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers but they ended up playing. Jones had a solid day, seeing 22 touches for 135 scrimmage yards, while Dillon had seven carries for 12 yards and his second rushing touchdown of the year. Jones and Dillon should both be ready to go by this Sunday night on New Year's Eve against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings and should continue working in tandem in a difficult matchup on the road. Jones is the higher-ceiling fantasy back as an RB2, while Dillon is more reliant on finding the end zone with limited volume and is a low-upside RB4/flex in much deeper leagues.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers rookie wide receiver
Jayden Reed (chest, toe) was limited in the team's practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Reed missed the team's Week 16 win over the Carolina Panthers, a game in which fellow receiver
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle, chest) was also injured. The 23-year-old second-rounder looks to have a chance to return in Week 17 against the Minnesota Vikings on New Year's Eve on Sunday night, especially if he can put in a full practice on Friday.
Christian Watson (hamstring) is trending towards another missed game and with Wicks also hurt, Reed could be heavily involved this weekend if he's able to return. Before getting hurt in Week 15, Reed had accumulated five touchdowns (three receiving, two rushing) in six games since Week 10. He'll be in play as a WR3/flex in Week 17 if he can return to action.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receivers
Christian Watson (hamstring) and
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle, chest) were both absent from practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Watson strained his right hamstring in Week 13 and hasn't practiced or played since, so fantasy managers should expect him to miss yet another contest in Week 17 on Sunday night against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. The rookie Wicks had been seeing more involvement in the offense with Watson sidelined, but he suffered a chest injury in the Week 16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is now in jeopardy of missing this weekend's game.
Jayden Reed (chest, toe) also missed last week's game, but he is back at practice this week and could return on Sunday evening. Reed has been a touchdown machine of late and would be an enticing option for fantasy lineups in Week 17 if he's active and both Watson and Wicks are out.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers tight end
Luke Musgrave (kidney) got in a limited practice on Wednesday ahead of his team's Week 17 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Musgrave injured his kidney back in Week 11 and hasn't played since but his ability to get in a limited session on Wednesday is a positive sign for the rookie tight end moving forward. Stay tuned to Musgrave's practice participation for the remainder of the week. His return to action would put a dent in
Tucker Kraft's production.

Dontayvion Wicks (chest, ankle) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of his team's Week 17 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Wicks injured his chest while making a touchdown catch in Week 16 and did not return to the game. His missed practice on Wednesday is not a great sign for his availability heading into Week 17. On the bright side, the Packers got
Jayden Reed (toe) back practicing after he missed last week's game. Stay tuned to Wicks' practice reports for the remainder of the week.

AJ Dillon (thumb) got in a limited practice on Wednesday ahead of his team's Week 17 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Dillon broke his thumb a few weeks back, an injury which caused him to miss Week 15, but he was able to return to action and score a touchdown in Week 16. The Packers are likely just trying to manage his practice reps heading into the weekend, although it will be worth monitoring his practice participation for the remainder of the week. The Packers' backfield is quite banged up as
Aaron Jones (knee, finger) was also limited on Wednesday.
