6 months agoWhen asked if he's less limited in practice this week, Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love (knee) said, "We're building it up for sure. Every day is a little bit better." Love said he's "definitely" moving better and was "pretty close" to playing in the Week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans. Love was officially limited in Wednesday's practice and has a real chance to play in Week 4 against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings for the first time since suffering a knee sprain in the season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil. The 25-year-old will be more of a shaky QB1 for fantasy managers if he returns this weekend, especially against a Vikings defense that has impressed so far in 2024. Fantasy managers that have any of the team's talented receivers have to be happy that Love's return appears to be right around the corner.

Jordan Love (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 4 but has a very good chance to play, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rapoport says the Packers should have Love back, and although it is not for sure, it is "as close as it has been." Love practiced all of last week in pads before being ruled out.
Malik Willis led the team to a win over the Titans in Week 3 in Love's absence. In Week 4, a Love return would give him a matchup against a very tough Vikings defense at home. It would likely boost the entire Green Bay offense, including their deep receiving corps. All signs point to Love getting back on the field this week and beating his initial timetable for his MCL injury.

6 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed was a solid contributor in the Packers' 30-14 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. Reed led the Packers in targets (6) and receptions (4) for 50 receiving yards as Reed was the most consistent receiving option for starting quarterback
Malik Willis on the afternoon. Not only was Reed a factor in the receiving game, but he also added 19 yards rushing on two carries. With Reed contributing in multiple ways across the Packers' offense, Reed as become the most consistent fantasy option. Reed's fantasy value in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings is connected to the availability of
Jordan Love (knee), who was ruled inactive prior to Week 3's kickoff. Reed would be a low-end WR3 for fantasy managers if Love returns to start for the Packers. If Willis remains the quarterback for Green Bay in Week 4, Reed would be a flex option.

Christian Watson led the Packers in receiving yards and was a contributing factor in their 30-14 victory against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. Watson was targeted just twice in the win but made both receptions count for 67 receiving yards. Considering Watson went untargeted last week from backup quarterback
Malik Willis, getting Watson involved from the get-go in Week 3 was vital on the way to establishing the passing game on the afternoon. Watson's fantasy value in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings is tied to the availability of quarterback
Jordan Love (knee), who didn't suit up in Week 3. Watson would be considered a boom-or-bust flex option for fantasy managers if Love returns to start for the Packers. If Willis remains the quarterback for Green Bay in Week 4, Watson would be a more volatile flex option.

Romeo Doubs was a non-factor in Green Bay's 30-14 victory against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. Doubs earned just two targets from Packers starting quarterback
Malik Willis and corralled one of the targets for 18 yards as Doubs' only contribution toward the win. With just 19 pass attempts available for the pass catchers on the afternoon, targets were at a premium with a run-heavy approach to the game plan. Doubs' fantasy value heading into Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings is tied to the availability of
Jordan Love (knee), who was unable to suit up in Week 3. Doubs would be a viable flex option for fantasy managers if Love returns to start for the Packers. If Willis remains the quarterback for Green Bay in Week 4, Doubs would be a recommended sit.

6 months agoThe Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit were fantastic as they shut down the Tennessee Titans' offense in the Packers' 30-14 win in Week 3. The Packers forced two interceptions, including a return for a touchdown by Jaire Alexander at the end of the first quarter. The defense repeatedly got to Titans' quarterback
Will Levis for a whopping eight sacks and a forced fumble and recovery on the afternoon. It was a banner day for the Packers' D/ST as they'll assuredly be one of the top-scoring fantasy D/ST units of Week 3. The Packers will head back home to face the Minnesota Vikings but will be a streaming fantasy defensive option in that game with the Vikings showing some potency with quarterback
Sam Darnold at the helm.

6 months agoGreen Bay Packers kicker
Brayden Narveson was perfect on the day in the Packers' 30-14 victory against the Titans in Week 3. Narveson booted home all three field goal attempts from 21, 26, and 47 yards and converted all three extra-point attempts. The Packers' offense is plenty potent enough no matter who is starting at quarterback, which is always a great thing for fantasy kickers. With three consecutive double-digit fantasy scoring games to start his NFL career, Narveson is quickly ascending the ranks of fantasy kickers and should now be considered a solid starting option going forward.

6 months agoGreen Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs was a minor part of the Packers' 30-14 victory against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. Jacobs tallied 43 rushing yards on the ground on 14 carries while securing his only target for a five-yard reception. Outshined by fellow running back
Emanuel Wilson, Jacobs had his worst game as a Packer as he could not get much going on the day. The Packers' game plan saw Green Bay continue to emphasize the run with
Malik Willis starting another game for
Jordan Love (knee), who was ruled out before kickoff. For fantasy purposes, Jacobs remains a solid low-end RB1 in a tough upcoming matchup in Week 4 against the revitalized Minnesota Vikings' defensive unit.

6 months agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Malik Willis had himself a banner day in Week 3 as he threw for 202 yards and a touchdown through the air in the Packers' 30-14 victory against the Tennessee Titans. Willis also added 73 rushing yards and another touchdown on the ground, showing promise filling in for starting quarterback
Jordan Love (knee), who was ruled out this week. Love may return in Week 4 at home against the Minnesota Vikings and that would relegate Willis back to backup quarterbacking duties behind Love. Of course, if Love is back in the lineup for the Packers, Willis can be safely dropped in seasonal fantasy formats.

6 months agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love (knee) is officially inactive in Week 3 for the team's contest on the road against the Tennessee Titans. Love suffered a sprained left MCL in his knee in the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil and will now miss his second straight game as a result. The good news is that Love practiced all week and was questionable to play on Sunday against the Titans, so he stands to have a good chance to make his return in a big divisional clash next weekend at Lambeau Field versus the Minnesota Vikings. With Love out again on Sunday, backup
Malik Willis will make his second straight start against his former team, the Titans. Expect another run-heavy game plan from Green Bay, making
Josh Jacobs a must-start in fantasy against the 0-2 Titans. Willis should be considered a low-end QB2 for those in superflex leagues.

6 months agoGreen Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson took a backseat last week with rookie
MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) getting into the mix. Wilson only saw five carries for nine yards in the win over the Indianapolis Colts. However, he figures to take a slightly larger workload with Lloyd headed to the injured reserve. Wilson put together a decent performance during the season opener, but there won't be a significant workload for him with
Josh Jacobs healthy. That being said, Wilson is worth stashing in deep leagues or dynasty formats, but isn't a reliable starting option for Week 3.

6 months agoAccording to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love (knee) isn't expected to play against the Titans. The signal-caller is trending in the right direction, with the team planning for his return for the Week 4 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. As a result,
Malik Willis is anticipated to remain under center versus his former team. Willis got the start for the clash with the Indianapolis Colts. He finished that one by throwing for 122 yards and a touchdown off 12-for-14 passing, adding six carries for 41 yards. While the 2022 No. 86 overall pick looked decent in Week 2, he's not someone fantasy managers can depend on to fill the void left by Love's absence.

6 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs travels with the Packers to Nashville to take on the Titans in Week 3, where he'll be considered a flex option for fantasy managers. Doubs led the Packers in receiving yards with 62 in Green Bay's 16-10 win, but overall, the passing game was a distant second in importance to the run game. With just 14 pass attempts, passing volume was extremely hard to come by as the Packers employed a very conservative run-heavy approach to the game plan against the Colts in Week 2. That's the likely game plan in Week 3 should Willis get the starting nod. Starting quarterback
Jordan Love (knee) has left the door open a crack with his availability this week, entering the weekend on the injury report with a questionable designation. If Love does end up playing, the offense is immediately upgraded. If Willis is starting, then consider Doubs a low-end flex option in Week 3.
