Geronimo Allison With Limited Production In Return

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison was limited to just one catch for 14 yards against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. Allison had missed several weeks with a hamstring injury. The Packers play the New England Patriots in Week 9 which could be a shootout. Allison has lost some of his volume […]

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix On The Trade Market

The Green Bay Packers have made safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix available on the trade market before the Oct. 30 deadline. The former first-rounder has been playing well, but he's in the final year of his rookie deal and the Packers aren't expected to sign him to an extension. The 25-year-old has racked up 27 tackles, […]

Davante Adams Continues Streak Against Rams

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams turned in his third straight game of over 100 yards. Adams had 133 yards in the Packers' loss to the undefeated Los Angeles Rams. Adams started heating up in the absence of Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison over the past few weeks. He was able to maintain his […]

Mason Crosby Perfect Against Rams

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby nailed a 53-yard field goal in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. It was one of his two field goals that he made. Crosby also added three successful extra-points. Crosby was set up for a chance to win another nail biter, but Ty Montgomery made an untimely fumble […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Catches Touchdown In Week 8

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught two passes on five targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in a Week 8 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Equanimeous St. Brown Records Two Catches In Week 8

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown had two catches for 31 yards on two targets in a Week 8 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie wide receiver has had a limited role in Green Bay’s offense as he adjusts to the NFL. He briefly had a larger role due to injuries […]

Ty Montgomery Struggles In Week 8

Green Bay running back Ty Montgomery had two rushes for six yards in a Week 8 loss against the Los Angeles Rams. He added one catch for two yards on two targets. More crucially he fumbled the ball on a late game kickoff return. He made the ill-advised decision to take the ball out of […]

Green Bay Defense Holds Its Own Against Rams

The Green Bay Packers defense had one of its most impressive outings of the season against the imposing Los Angeles Rams offense. With their secondary fully healthy, they managed to actually keep the Rams in check for much of the game. The improved play in the back gave Green Bay’s pass rush time to actually […]

Aaron Jones Takes Charge in Week 8

Green Bay running back Aaron Jones ran for 86 yards on 12 carries and scored a touchdown in a Week 8 loss against the Los Angeles Rams. Almost as importantly Jones, normally a shaky handed receiver, caught both of his targets on the day. Jones was the starting running back for the second consecutive game […]

Touchdown Salvages Jamaal Williams Week 8 Performance

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams had nine yards rushing on four attempts in a Week 8 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He added a touchdown to salvage the day. Williams has continued to see his role decrease as the year goes on. Running back Aaron Jones saw three times as many carries […]

Aaron Rodgers Has Mediocre Stats in Excellent Performance

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 286 yards on 18-for-30 passing with one touchdown in a losing effort against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. While the stat line wasn’t a disaster, it was still underwhelming by Rodgers’ standards. Despite the underwhelming stat line, this was actually one of Rodgers better performances […]

Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown Active

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) are both active for Week 8 against the Rams. Geronimo Allison is also active after missing several games, although he was previously taken off the injury report.

Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Inside the Tent - Week 8 NFL Injury Insight

The Patriots RB that gets goal line and red zone carries is insanely valuable in fantasy football. When Rex Burkhead was put on IR, it was officially Sony Michel's backfield as far as carries were concerned. James White will always be a PPR monster but Michel was rewarding those who drafted him and stuck with him. […]
