Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 27 of 55 passes for 323 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a 23-20 win over the Detroit Lions.

Jimmy Graham Not Recommended In Week 17
Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (veteran rest) is not a recommended option against the Detroit Lions in Week 17, despite the favorable matchup.

Geronimo Allison Off The Fantasy Radar
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison isn't a recommended option against the Detroit Lions in Week 17. Allison hasn't caught more than four passes in a game and has exceeded 50 receiving yards only once. The 25-year-old has seen a decrease in snaps since Week 12. He shouldn't be near lineups in Week 17.
Allen Lazard A Flex Play If He's Able To Go
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) has logged two limited sessions in practice this week. If he's able to play, he should be in the conversation as a flex play against the Detroit Lions, who have the worst pass defense in the league. They've allowed the third-most pass plays of 20 yards or […]
