Leaving the Pack Behind

R-E-L-A-X was the soundbite from quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2014 when the Packers started badly in their season, but in Green Bay now he has to be thinking that was a warm distant memory. Since that season there has been a huge amount of upheaval, and that is reflected in the fantasy output of Green […]

Jimmy Graham Bounces Back In Week 13

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (thumb) had a season-high eight receptions in a Week 13 loss against the Arizona Cardinals. Graham had 50 yards receiving on the day. Graham has been playing through a broken thumb but is still one of Green Bay’s better receiving options. The stat line isn’t overly impressive, but […]

Randall Cobb Quiet In Return To Action

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb caught three passes on five targets for 25 yards in a Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Cobb had missed the previous three games with a hamstring injury. Part of the blame for his lack of production can be placed on a struggling Green Bay offense. However, […]

Mason Crosby Underwhelming Again In Loss

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby converted one field goal attempt and missed another in a Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He added two extra points on the day. Crosby’s missed field goal came on the last play of the game and would have sent the game into overtime. Crosby has had one […]

Packers Fire Mike McCarthy

The Green Bay Packers fired head coach Mike McCarthy after their 20-17 loss to the Cardinals in Week 13. Joe Philbin will serve as the interim head coach for the final four games of what has become a lost season for Green Bay. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has struggled mightily in recent weeks with a lack […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Does Nothing In Week 13

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown caught no passes on one target and gained no yards from scrimmage in a Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. St. Brown has made a handful of splashy plays this year but has never put together a full, fantasy relevant day. The rookie wide receiver […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Struggles Again In Week 13

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught only two passes on seven targets for 19 yards. He added two carries for 29 yards on the day. Valdes-Scantling broke out earlier in the year, with his speed adding a sorely needed element to Green Bay’s offense. However, he has always struggled to create separation […]

Jamaal Williams Unable to Cash In On Opportunities

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams was unable to convert his opportunities in Week 13 into much production. With cold and snowy playing conditions and against an Arizona Cardinals defense that has struggled versus the run, Green Bay clearly wanted to focus its offensive attack around the running game. This meant that Williams actually […]

Touchdown Salvages Day For Aaron Jones

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones ran for 36 yards on 11 attempts and caught four passes for 16 yards in a Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. A touchdown in the fourth quarter salvaged his day for fantasy purposes. Arizona has a very shaky run defense that Jones and Green Bay should […]

Green Bay Defense Unremarkable In Week 13

The Green Bay Packers defense and special teams has not been fantasy relevant for most weeks this season. However, they have been a reliable option when provided with the right, inexperienced quarterback matchup. They were supposed to have such a matchup in Week 13 when they took on the Arizona Cardinals at home. Instead of […]

Aaron Rodgers Disappoints In Consecutive Games

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for only 233 yards on 31-for-50 passing with one touchdown in a Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. This was the second lackluster performance from Rodgers in as many weeks. Green Bay’s offense has been dysfunctional for years but Rodgers has always found a way to overcome […]

Randall Cobb, David Bakhtiari Active

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) and left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) are both active in Week 13 against the Cardinals. Cobb returns with the Packers currently out of playoff contention. He has done next to nothing since the season opener and may be phased out of three-receiver sets with rookies Marquez Valdes-Scantling […]

Aaron Rodgers Looks To Bounce Back In Week 13

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has gone through rough patches before, but he has always maintained a very high weekly floor for fantasy purposes. That floor appears to have been lowered after a disappointing Week 12 outing against the Minnesota Vikings where he threw for only 198 yards and one touchdown. He has an […]

Temper Expectations For Marquez Valdes-Scantling In Week 13

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling seemingly has an excellent opportunity to rebound this Sunday against a vulnerable Arizona Cardinals team. Valdes-Scantling has had a rough past three weeks, with only 55 yards receiving over that span, after breaking out earlier in the year. The issue is that his struggles over the past […]
