10 months agoThe Green Bay Packers released running back
James Robinson from their practice squad on Tuesday. Robinson has been shuffled back and forth by the team a few times throughout the season. He appeared in one game for the Packers, taking one carry for two yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. The team released Robinson to make room for newly signed
Kenyan Drake, who will take his place on the practice squad. Robinson will now look to catch on with another team.

10 months agoThe Green Bay Packers signed free-agent veteran running back
Kenyan Drake to their practice squad on Tuesday and cut running back
James Robinson from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Drake will take Robinson's spot as backfield depth while
Aaron Jones (knee) recovers from an MCL sprain that he suffered in Week 11. Jones has missed the last two games and could be unavailable once again on Monday night in Week 14 versus the New York Giants. The 29-year-old Drake played in two games this year with the Baltimore Ravens and had just three touches for 31 total yards. He remains off the fantasy radar while backing up Jones,
AJ Dillon and
Patrick Taylor in his new home.

10 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks (knee) is active for Sunday's battle with the Kansas City Chiefs. The wideout sat out in the Week 12 meeting with the Lions because of a concussion and the knee issue. However, he'll be back on the field versus one of the top teams in the AFC. Nevertheless, Wicks has only 20 catches for 331 yards and a touchdown, so his availability won't make much of a difference on the fantasy end, even more so with
Romeo Doubs,
Christian Watson, and
Jayden Reed above him on the depth chart.

10 months agoGreen Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder) won't play on Sunday night versus the Chiefs. The 26-year-old sat out the last three games because of a shoulder injury. However, despite appearing Alexander was trending toward playing, he'll miss another game. Nevertheless, Alexander has appeared in just five contests this year, totaling 22 tackles. But despite his lack of production, his experience would have come in handy against one of the most potent offenses in the National Football League.

10 months agoGreen Bay Packers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (neck) is good to go for Sunday's meeting with the Chiefs. The 30-year-old has missed four games during the 2023-24 campaign, most recently sitting out the Week 12 matchup against the Lions because of a neck injury. Campbell has 52 total tackles (32 solo) this season, so the Packers are certainly thrilled to get him back versus
Patrick Mahomes,
Travis Kelce, and the rest of the Chiefs offense.

10 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (chest) is officially active for Sunday's meeting against the Chiefs. He battled a chest injury during the week and missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday. But the rookie logged a limited session on Friday, although he couldn't dodge a questionable designation. That said, Reed has been productive for fantasy managers recently, totaling 13 catches for 164 yards and two scores in the last three games, giving him credibility for most fantasy lineups.

10 months agoGreen Bay Packers star rookie wide receiver
Jayden Reed (chest), who is listed as questionable to play on Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13, is trending toward playing, according to sources. Reed will do an on-field pre-game workout to make sure, but the Packers are cautiously optimistic about his status right now. Per PFF, Reed ranks first in the NFL with 16.1 yards per catch from the slot in 2023, and his four touchdowns rank second in the league. The 23-year-old is a fine flex option this week now that he's expected to play, especially with options limited due to six teams being on bye. In the last five games, Reed has 13 catches for 164 yards and two touchdowns on 19 targets, adding 62 yards and another TD on five rushing attempts. He's a young player on the rise.

10 months agoGreen Bay Packers safety Darnell Savage (calf) has been activated from the injured reserve ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Savage has been out since Week 7 after he suffered a calf strain. His return is good news for the Packers defensive unit heading into this tough matchup. The expectation is that Savage will resume his normal role on defense and won't be limited during Sunday's game.

10 months agoGreen Bay Packers running back
James Robinson has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Packers are going to be without
Aaron Jones (knee) and Emmanuel Wilson (shoulder) for Sunday's game. The move to bring up Robinson gives the Packers depth behind
AJ Dillon and
Patrick Taylor. This is mainly a depth move, so it seems unlikely that Robinson is going to have a significant impact. Fantasy managers can expect a bigger workload for Dillon this weekend with Taylor and Robinson possibly mixed in for a few snaps.

10 months agoGreen Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13 on Sunday night. The rookie caught his first career touchdown last week in a win over the Detroit Lions. Unfortunately, he saw just two targets while playing 96% of the snaps with
Luke Musgrave (kidney) out. Being on the field for nearly 100% of the snaps is great, but he is not generating a high enough target share to have confidence in streaming him weekly. The Chiefs allow the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends and have given up just two touchdowns to the position all year. With quarterback
Jordan Love spreading the ball around to multiple receivers, Kraft is little more than a touchdown-dependent, low-tier streaming option in Week 13.

10 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs will take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13 on Sunday night. The 23-year-old has not done much through the air the past month but has survived as a flex option due to his nose for the end zone. This week's matchup against the Chiefs is not great. Kansas City allows the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers and the fourth-fewest yards. With Doubs already struggling to crack 40 yards on any given week, he would need to find the end zone again in Week 13 to keep fantasy managers happy. Because there are multiple teams on bye, the second-year receiver has flex appeal, but he is a boom-or-bust option due to the matchup.
--Ryan Larrison - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
10 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson will take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night in Week 13. The second-year receiver has got back on track over the past two weeks, finding the end zone twice and tallying 115 yards on seven receptions. Last week, Watson nearly reached 100 yards and led the team in receiving yards. Quarterback
Jordan Love is finally starting to click with the former first-round pick, but the duo will have a tough time against the Kansas City secondary this weekend. The Chiefs allow the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position and the fifth-fewest yards. Watson will need to find the end zone again and try to break off a big run to make fantasy managers happy in Week 13. If the matchup were better, the 24-year-old would be in the WR2 conversation, but against the Chiefs, consider Watson a WR3.

10 months agoGreen Bay Packers running back
AJ Dillon will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night in Week 13. The 25-year-old has dealt with a groin injury over the past few weeks and has been limited in practice this past week but was left off the final injury report. With
Aaron Jones (knee) out for another week, Dillon will handle the majority of carries against a stiff Kansas City run defense. The Packers back has averaged 17.5 touches over the past two weeks and should see plenty of work, but he could struggle to finish as a top-24 option unless he is able to find the end zone. The Chiefs allow the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game to the running back position but have given up just five rushing touchdowns, tied for seventh-fewest in the league. Dillon should be considered a fringe RB2 in Week 13.

10 months agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love will take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night in Week 13. Over the past two weeks, the 25-year-old has tallied 590 passing yards and five touchdowns while not committing a turnover. The Packers won both of these games and even beat their division rival, the Detroit Lions, to keep their playoff hopes alive. Love has started to look the part of Green Bay's future quarterback, but he will face his toughest challenge yet in Week 13 against the Chiefs. Kansas City allows the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season. Love will need to throw multiple touchdown passes and keep the turnovers to a minimum to make fantasy managers happy. His fantasy ceiling seems to be capped this week, especially with some of his pass catchers playing at less than 100%. Consider Love a low-end streaming option in Week 13.
