Aaron Rodgers Unable To Win Yet Again

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had yet another rough week against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night. The loss brought the chances of the Packers making the playoffs down to just 3%.

Jimmy Graham Playing Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee, thumb) is active on Sunday night against the Vikings. Graham caught just one pass for 13 yards last Thursday before injuring his thumb.

Randall Cobb Ruled Out Sunday Night

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) is officially out for Sunday night's game against the Vikings. Cobb hasn't played since Nov. 4 against the Patriots and has been a non-factor other than the season opener when he went for 142 yards and a touchdown. He's not a must-stash in redraft leagues. Davante Adams, […]

Week 12 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Thanksgiving is already here as the NFL season continues its whirlwind pace. It feels like yesterday that Week 1 was here, that we were wondering how good this Patrick Mahomes kid could be and talking about how Le'Veon Bell would be back soon and we still thought Tom Brady was a good quarterback. And now […]

Jimmy Graham Has Good Chance To Play Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee/thumb) is banged up, but he's on track to play against the Vikings in Week 12. The broken thumb that Graham suffered in his last game is an issue that could greatly impact his effectiveness, though the Packers wouldn't put him on the field if they didn't think […]

Week 12 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Randall Cobb Practices on Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) was able to practice on Thursday. This was his second straight practice, which means Cobb is heading in the right direction for Sunday's contest with Minnesota. However, Cobb has not done anything in terms of fantasy production since Week 1. He belongs on the bench in basically […]

Jimmy Graham Remains Limited in Practice

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (thumb) was able to test out his broken thumb during a limited practice on Thursday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Graham wants to play, but obviously having a broken thumb is going to make it difficult to block and catch the ball. It sounds like the Packers […]

Randall Cobb Shouldn't Be Played

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (Hamstring) is questionable for their Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Even if Cobb does play this week he'll be overshadowed by Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Fellow wide receiver Jake Kumerow could be back from IR and could be a very sneaky DFS play should Cobb […]

Mason Crosby Offers Good Value Week 12

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby will get the benefit of playing in the dome in Minnesota this week, so you don't have to worry about the weather being a factor. Crosby had a missed field goal last week but has offered quite a few fantasy points this season. The Packers offense is good enough […]

Jimmy Graham Isn't A Great Option Week 12

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (Thumb) is still questionable for their Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Graham didn't practice on Wednesday, but even if he does start this week he should be avoided in DFS formats. In your normal leagues he's likely your best or only tight end. You might look […]

Davante Adams Faces Tough Matchup

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will face one of the games best defensive backs this week in Xavier Rhodes. Adams still remains a top fantasy option even with the tough matchup due to his consistency. You might fade Adams in DFS given his price. In most regular leagues you must start Adams this […]

Lance Kendricks Could See Expanded Role

Green Bay Packers tight end Lance Kendricks could see an expanded role with Jimmy Graham (Thumb) still questionable for Week 12. The Packers play the Minnesota Vikings this week. Kendricks isn't a great play in normal leagues, but could have sneaky value in DFS. He only has 11 receptions this year and is averaging 10.3 […]

Warning Signals for RB/WR/TE - Week 12

Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season. Oftentimes, these players carry a significant amount of hype due to breakout potential, elite status, or lack of alternative options on their teams. However, with every player that does meet […]

Aaron Jones High-Risk/High-Upside Option For Week 12

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones has broken out over the past few weeks. He had his second consecutive multiple touchdown game with over 100 yards from scrimmage last week against Seattle. He faces a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12 that could put that streak at risk. Jones has been […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Does Not Warrant Consideration In Week 12

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown hasn’t had enough production to warrant fantasy consideration at any point this season. He hasn’t caught more than two passes or topped 35 yards receiving in any of the past five games. That isn’t going to change in Week 12 when he will take on a […]

Jamaal Williams To Be Non-Factor In Week 12

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams does not figure to factor in very heavily in the game plan against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. Williams has not only been supplanted at the top of the depth chart by running back Aaron Jones, but he has even lost his role as part of a […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Unlikely To Bounce Back In Week 12

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling has struggled over the past two weeks, averaging 3.5 receptions for 26 yards over that span. Those struggles are likely to continue when he plays a tough Minnesota Vikings pass defense in Week 12. Marquez Valdes-Scantling saw his profile rise earlier this year when he filled in […]

Green Bay Packers Defense An Unattractive Option In Week 12

The Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit faces another tough matchup in Week 12 when they go to Minnesota to take on the Vikings.
