3 months agoGreen Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft had a solid outing during the Packers' 22-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Kraft caught all five of his targets from quarterback
Jordan Love and parlayed them into 26 yards receiving. Also displaying some of the versatility from the end of the regular season, Kraft also took two direct snaps for 10 yards rushing. After a rookie season in 2023 that saw Kraft get some time on the field later in the year with an injury to
Luke Musgrave, an early-season injury to Musgrave before Week 1 this season led to Kraft being a major contributor in the Packers offense in his second campaign. Kraft put up 50 receptions for 707 yards and seven touchdowns to finish as a top-10 fantasy tight end. For 2025 fantasy leagues, Kraft should be a starting tight end option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

3 months agoThe Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit were not very productive during the Packers' 22-10 loss at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. The Packers had a tall task in defending the carousel of offensive weapons the Eagles throw out on a weekly basis, but in holding
A.J. Brown and
DeVonta Smith to a combined five catches for 65 yards, they gave up two touchdowns to less-heralded Eagles players like
Dallas Goedert and
Jahan Dotson. The Packers did not force any turnovers and could only sack
Jalen Hurts twice. The Packers have a lot of youth on their side and under the direction of defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, they're an upside D/ST unit for 2025 fantasy leagues.

3 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (shoulder) suffered an injury that caused him to leave the game during the tail end of the third quarter and not return for the rest of the Packers' 22-10 defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. Reed took a hard hit after hauling in a 13-yard reception and was ruled questionable to return but ended up not playing another snap for the Packers in their loss. Before exiting the game, Reed caught all four targets for 46 yards which ended up leading the Packers in receiving yards on the afternoon. Reed's production hit a massive snag during the second half of the regular season, and it looked like the Packers were involving him more in the passing game before his untimely exit. Leading the Packers in receiving yards with 857, Reed also hauled in a team-leading 55 receptions in 2024. Reed should be a solid fantasy receiver with upside for 2025 fantasy leagues.

3 months agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love put up a lackluster performance at one of the most inopportune times during the Packers' 22-10 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Love was 20-of-33 passing for 212 yards but threw three interceptions that potentially took points off the board when points were at a premium all game. The first came on a deep shot to Dontayvion, the second an ill-advised throw down the middle with Zack Baun in perfect position to make the pick. The third sealed the game late in the fourth quarter. Love also added 10 yards on two rushing attempts but overall, this was a disappointing outing. With Love entering his sixth season, Love will be a fringe starting fantasy quarterback for 2025.

3 months agoGreen Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs maintained his stellar production into the postseason despite the Packers' 22-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles during the Wild-Card round. Jacobs was the main cog in the Packers' offensive attack as he carried the ball 18 times for 81 yards, including a fourth-quarter touchdown that gave the Packers their only touchdown of the afternoon. He also caught all three of his targets for 40 yards as a safety valve for quarterback
Jordan Love. In his first season as a Packer, Jacobs was a massive success with over 1,300 rushing yards and 16 total touchdowns on the season. Jacobs will be a highly-drafted running back in 2025 fantasy leagues in this Packers' system that feeds him the ball.

Romeo Doubs (concussion) left the game and did not return during the third quarter of the Packers' 22-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Doubs hit his head on the ground when trying to make a catch in the end zone on a deep shot from quarterback
Jordan Love. Doubs was ruled questionable to return, but he never re-entered Sunday's contest. Prior to his departure, Doubs caught both of his targets for 13 yards on the afternoon. Heading into the final season of his rookie contract, Doubs tallied 46 receptions, 601 receiving yards, and four touchdowns this season. He should remain an integral part of the Packers' passing game in 2025.

3 months agoAccording to Lauren Helmbrecht, Green Bay Packers wide receivers
Jayden Reed (shoulder) and
Romeo Doubs (concussion) are both questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game. Both sustained injuries during the second half. Doubs suffered a concussion earlier this season and had to miss two games. With
Christian Watson (knee) already out for the season after tearing his ACL in the Week 18 regular-season finale, this leaves receivers
Dontayvion Wicks and
Bo Melton and tight end
Tucker Kraft as quarterback
Jordan Love's lone pass-catchers for the rest of this game. Reed was leading the team in receiving yards (46) before leaving, while Doubs had tallied 23 yards.

3 months agoAccording to the team, Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins (stinger) is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Jenkins sustained this injury during the first quarter. Sixth-round selection Travis Glover replaced Jenkins on their drive. Fantasy managers should expect Glover to remain in that role while Jenkins is sidelined.

3 months agoAccording to the team, Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (lower leg) is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wyatt sustained the injury in the opening quarter. While sidelined, Kenny Clark, Karl Brooks, and Tedarrell Slaton will see most of the snaps on the Green Bay defensive line.
--Andy Smith - RotoBallerSource: Green Bay Packers
3 months agoAccording to the team, Green Bay Packers linebacker Brenton Cox Jr. (foot), and defensive tackle Tedarrell Slaton (ankle) are both active for Sunday's wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Cox was sidelined during Week 18 and logged three limited practice sessions this week. Slaton has yet to miss a game this season. Cox has appeared in seven games this season and tallied 12 tackles and four sacks. Slaton has tallied 30 tackles across 17 contests this season with one sack. Both defenders will operate as rotational pieces in Sunday's contest.

3 months agoAccording to the team, Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker (ankle) and safety Evan Williams (quadriceps) are both active for Sunday's wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Walker missed the previous three contests with an ankle injury and remained a limited participant in practice this week. Across 13 games this season, the linebacker has tallied an impressive 102 tackles with 2.5 sacks and two deflections. Williams has also missed the previous three contests but will return just in time for the playoffs. Through 13 games, the 23-year-old has tallied 49 tackles, three deflections, one interception, and a forced fumble. Both should see a heavy workload as they look to pull off the upset against the Eagles.

3 months agoAccording to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Green Bay Packers have signed quarterback
Sean Clifford to the active roster before their playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Clifford will serve as the team's emergency third quarterback as both
Jordan Love (elbow) and
Malik Willis (thumb) battled injuries during the week. While both quarterbacks are off the injury report and do not carry a designation, Clifford would be eligible to enter the game if both quarterbacks were to face a setback during Sunday's contest. Clifford only attempted one pass in his professional career and completed it for 37 yards during the 2023 season. DFS players should view Jordan Love as a low-end option in DFS as he will face a tough Philadelphia defense, the third-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs this season.

3 months agoThe Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit will have their hands full during their playoff matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild-Card round. The Eagles will have
Jalen Hurts (concussion/finger),
DeVonta Smith (back), and
A.J. Brown (knee) all playing as they were removed from Friday's injury report for Sunday afternoon's game. Add 2,000-yard rusher
Saquon Barkley to the mix and the Packers have a lot to contend with. Luckily, the Packers allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points against wide receivers and the ninth-fewest rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks. Against fantasy running backs, the Packers are below average, allowing the 14th-most fantasy points. With the Packers' defense not playing at a high level in their final two games against the Vikings and Bears, the Packers are hard to trust on the road against a full-strength Eagles' offense. It's best to play another team for DFS or in playoff contests that use team defenses.

3 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed looks to right the ship following a backslide in regular season production as the Packers head to Philadelphia to play the Eagles in their Wild-Card game on Sunday afternoon. Reed's skills weren't utilized much after the Packers' Week 10 bye as he put up just one fantasy finish among the top 30 wide receivers. In the final eight games of the season, Reed averaged 3.5 targets, 2.4 receptions, and 36 total yards per game as the Packers leaned heavily on the run game. With
Christian Watson (knee) out for the season with a torn ACL, there could be more opportunities for targets for the Packers' pass-catchers. Still, Reed is a high-ceiling option that comes with a shockingly low points floor. For playoff contests and DFS, Reed is a boom-or-bust sleeper option during Wild Card Weekend.

3 months agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs (illness) practiced in full all week and was removed from Friday's final injury report. After sitting out for rest purposes in the Week 18 loss to the division-rival Chicago Bears in the regular-season finale, Doubs will be ready to play on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles on the road on wild-card weekend. And with
Christian Watson (knee) now done for the year with a torn ACL, the 24-year-old Doubs will have a higher fantasy ceiling, albeit against an Eagles secondary that won't be an easy matchup. And while Doubs should have slightly more opportunities, he will still be battling for targets with
Jayden Reed and
Dontayvion Wicks. During the regular season, Doubs was outside the top-50 wideouts in half-PPR points per game with a 46-601-4 line in 13 games. Consider him a boom/bust WR2 sleeper in DFS and playoff formats this weekend.
