Robert Tonyan Tallies 36 Yards In Loss

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan finished Sunday's game against Minnesota with three receptions on five targets for 36 yards. The 28-year-old had more targets than any of the Packers' wide receivers but couldn't do much with them for fantasy managers. It is a promising sign that his chemistry with Rodgers is stronger than […]

Randall Cobb Catches Two Passes In Loss

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb caught two of his three targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran was a low-end flex option for fantasy managers with Allen Lazard (ankle) out, but he and the rest of the Packers' passing attack failed to produce. Even with only […]

Sammy Watkins Quiet In Loss

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins caught all three of his targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Watkins started as the No. 1 wide receiver with Allen Lazard (ankle) out but did little with the opportunity. The Green Bay passing attack struggled throughout the contest, with Watkins leading […]

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones carried the ball five times for 49 yards Sunday, adding three receptions on five targets for 27 yards, in the 23-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Dillon doubled Aaron Jones' carry count and out-targeted him six to five. The entire Packers offense struggled against Minnesota, but Dillon was the lone bright […]

Aaron Rodgers Struggles In Loss

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers went 23-for-34 for 195 yards and threw an interception Sunday, adding one rush for a one-yard loss in a losing effort against the Minnesota Vikings. The reigning MVP struggled to drive the offense downfield without his new top target Allen Lazard (ankle). Many expected the passing attack to take […]

David Bakhtiari, Elgton Jenkins Officially Inactive Sunday

Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) and right tackle Elgton Jenkins (pectoral, knee) are both officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Allen Lazard Officially Inactive

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) is officially inactive for the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. This comes as no surprise considering he had been listed as doubtful entering the weekend. In his absence, Sammy Watkins, Christian Watson, and Romeo Doubs will serve as the top wide receivers.
