9 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson (hamstring) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday. Watson has not seen the practice field since injuring his hamstring in the Week 13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs and is trending toward missing his second straight game this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rookie wideouts
Jayden Reed (ankle) and
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are also beat up, but they appear to have a better shot of playing in Week 15. As of right now, fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting to have Watson available to them for the first round of the playoffs. If Reed and Wicks are limited at all or out against the Buccaneers and their soft secondary,
Romeo Doubs could be in line for a busy day on Sunday.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers rookie wide receiver
Jayden Reed (ankle) was being evaluated for a concussion after the Monday night loss to the New York Giants but is listed as limited with an ankle injury on Wednesday's estimated injury report. Reed had been dealing with a chest injury for the last three weeks but hadn't missed any time. The second-round wideout hasn't been doing much in terms of yardage as a receiver, but he's had a nose for the end zone with four touchdowns (two receiving, two rushing) in the last five games. If the 23-year-old is able to play through his new ankle injury, he could be heavily involved this weekend against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with both
Christian Watson (hamstring) and
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) in danger of sitting out.

AJ Dillon (thumb) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report. It remains to be seen if Dillon's thumb injury is actually serious enough to put his status in danger for the Week 15 game on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 25-year-old had been dealing with a groin injury in recent weeks but hasn't missed any time and has been given 53 touches for 246 scrimmage yards with backfield mate
Aaron Jones (knee) sitting out the last three games due to an MCL sprain. Dillon has been a volume-based RB2 in fantasy with Jones out, but that could change in Week 15 if he's limited or if Jones returns to action. We should have a better idea of what Green Bay's backfield will look like against Tampa in a few more days.

9 months agoThe Green Bay Packers listed running back
Aaron Jones (knee) as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report following a walkthrough. Jones missed his third straight game in the Week 14 loss to the New York Giants on Monday night due to an MCL sprain that he suffered in Week 11. The 29-year-old is getting closer to a return, though, and
AJ Dillon (thumb) missed practice on Wednesday after handling 53 touches for 246 scrimmage yards the last three weeks with Jones out. Green Bay may be forced to bring Jones back into the fold this weekend if Jones isn't ready, but he could cede valuable work to
Patrick Taylor in the backfield. We should have more clarity on Jones and Dillon later this week. The Packers return home this Sunday to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receivers
Christian Watson (hamstring) and
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were both unable to practice with the team on Wednesday. Rookie
Jayden Reed was limited with an ankle injury, so Green Bay's receiving corps is a bit beat up heading into a Week 15 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday. Watson hurt his hammy in Week 13 and didn't practice or play in Monday night's loss to the New York Giants. Watson and Wicks are going to need to practice on Thursday or Friday to have a realistic shot at playing this weekend. If both Watson and Wicks are unavailable in a nice matchup against the Bucs,
Romeo Doubs and rookie tight end
Tucker Kraft would be in line for additional targets as the Packers look to get back into the win column.
--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: The Athletic - Matt Schneidman
9 months agoGreen Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft caught all four of his targets for a gain of 64 yards during the team's 22-24 loss to the New York Giants. The rookie posted a career-high in yards Monday night, doing most of his damage on a 43-yard catch and run. He also led the team in receiving yards, as the Packers receiving corps struggled to do anything after the catch all night long. Kraft has started to turn into more of a viable receiver over the past month, with
Luke Musgrave (abdomen) out of action. He remains tough to trust as a fantasy option but could see his target share continue to rise with
Christian Watson (hamstring) out for an undisclosed amount of time and rookie
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) suffering an injury last night. Kraft will be a low-end streaming option next week against Tampa Bay if both of the aforementioned receivers are ruled out.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs caught four of seven targets for 32 yards during the team's 22-24 loss to the New York Giants. The second-year receiver failed to reach 40 receiving yards for the sixth time in eight weeks and failed to find the end zone, leading to a disappointing fantasy performance. When
Christian Watson (hamstring) has missed time, Doubs has seen a target boost, but he has failed to do anything with them more times than not. Rookie
Jayden Reed led the team in targets Monday night, and the Packers made it a point of emphasis to get the ball in his hands by using him as a running back as well. With
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) potentially missing time and no timetable for Watson's return, Doubs will remain in flex territory for needy fantasy managers, but he remains touchdown-dependent. The 23-year-old will be on the flex radar against Tampa Bay next week.
--Ryan Larrison - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
9 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed caught eight of 10 targets for 27 yards and carried the ball four times for 38 yards and a touchdown during the team's 22-24 loss to the New York Giants. After seeing just five targets last week, the rookie led the Packers in targets in Week 15 but was unable to do anything with them after the catch. The absence of
Christian Watson (hamstring) was felt in this game as the Giant's defense keyed in on all Packers receivers and was able to stop the team from having the explosive plays that have made them so successful over the past month. With that said, Green Bay did whatever they could to get the ball into Reed's hands, leading to a 16-yard rushing touchdown at the end of the first quarter. Moving forward, the 23-year-old is the clear top fantasy wideout for the Packers until Watson returns. Reed will be a fringe WR2 next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

AJ Dillon took 15 carries for 53 yards and caught two of three targets for an additional 25 yards during the team's 22-24 loss to the New York Giants. The 25-year-old was given the majority of work again, with
Aaron Jones (knee) out for the third consecutive week. Dillon did fine but was held out of the end zone for the eighth game in a row, leading to another middling fantasy performance. With Jones due back any week now, fantasy managers will need to plan accordingly and look for pivot options moving forward, especially with Tampa Bay up next on the schedule. If he is made the starter once again, Dillon will be considered a high-end RB3 in Week 15 rather than an RB2.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love completed 25 of 39 passes for 218 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding two carries for two yards and losing a fumble during the team's 22-24 loss to the New York Giants. After a streak of three games with multiple passing touchdowns and no turnovers, the 25-year-old fell back into some bad habits and gave fantasy managers a poor performance. The loss of
Christian Watson (hamstring) was felt in this one, with rookie
Jayden Reed leading the team in targets with 10 but accumulating just 27 yards as a receiver. No Packers receiver was able to step up and do much of anything Monday night, and they will look to regroup next week after potentially losing another weapon in
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle). Love will look to rebound next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

9 months agoAs expected, Green Bay Packers running back
Aaron Jones (knee) is inactive for the Monday night contest against the New York Giants after being listed as questionable to play on the final Week 14 injury report. Jones returned to practice this past week following an MCL sprain in Week 11 that caused him to miss Weeks 12 and 13, but it couldn't keep him from sitting out of his third straight game. He should have a pretty good shot to return in Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, barring any setbacks. With Jones out again,
AJ Dillon will operate as the clear leader of Green Bay's backfield in an excellent matchup against a soft Giants run defense. The last two weeks with Jones sidelined, Dillon has seen 32 rushing attempts for 116 yards (3.63 yards per carry) while catching all four of his targets for 52 yards. He hasn't been great, but the volume increase gives him RB2 upside in fantasy.

Aaron Jones (knee) is trending toward missing another game, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Jones picked up three limited practice designations throughout the week and it appeared that he'd have a decent chance of suiting up. This will be Jones' third straight missed game with the knee ailment and sixth this season.
AJ Dillon (groin), who was also limited in a pair of practices this week, will get the start. Jones' next chance to return to the starting lineup is on Sunday when the Packers host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

9 months agoGreen Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the New York Giants. He had been a limited participant in practice this week, so it's somewhat surprising to see the Packers rule him out prior to gameday. Nevertheless, it'll be Corey Ballentine and Keisean Nixon registering more snaps in his absence.

10 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday Night Football against the New York Giants in Week 14. This was an expected move after Watson injured his hamstring late in the Week 13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The second-year wideout has battled a hamstring issue all season so the Packers will keep him out this week in hopes that he can suit up in Week 15 against Tampa Bay. Receivers
Jayden Reed (chest),
Romeo Doubs, and
Dontayvion Wicks should all see an uptick in targets in Watson's absence.

Aaron Jones (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday Night Football against the New York Giants in Week 14. Jones got in a pair of limited practices on Thursday and Friday, which indicates that he should be good to go for MNF. Jones has missed the last two games with his knee issue but he has a plus matchup against the Giants if he is able to play. He appears to be on the right side of questionable and should be started in all fantasy formats if he suits up on Monday, although he could cede more work to teammate
AJ Dillon if the Packers choose to ease him back in.
