Green Bay Packers Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs put forth a solid fantasy outing in Sunday's loss to the Colts, thanks primarily to his 1st TD in 3 weeks. Jacobs rushed 21 times for 78 yards, including the 1-yard score in the 3rd quarter. He added 6 receptions for 28 yards (among 8 targets) to make it a strong PPR performance. Zamir White drew the only other RB carries, losing a yard on 2 attempts. Amber Abdullah claimed 4 targets, catching all 4 for 33 yards. Next comes a tough Denver defense in Week 11. Jacobs had little trouble in the 1st meeting, though, rushing for 28-144-2 and adding 5 catches for 31 yards.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur told reporters Friday that CB Eric Stokes is "unlikely" to play the rest of the season after suffering ankle and knee injuries in the loss to the Lions. That will leave Green Bay without a starting corner, but the team remains in decent shape at the position. Keisean Nixon looks like the new #3 CB, with Jaire Alexander and Rasul Douglas.

Giants S Xavier McKinney said Tuesday there's "no timeline" on his return from the hand injury suffered over the team's bye, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. McKinney landed on the non-football injury list Monday and had surgery Tuesday on multiple fingers after a Can-Am crash in Mexico. He said his hand "will be fine" but couldn't commit to making it back onto the field before the end of this season. McKinney is droppable in most IDP redraft formats. Dane Belton and Jason Pinnock are the candidates to fill in for him.

Packers WR Christian Watson did not sustain a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Lions, HC Matt LaFleur said. Watson took a hit to the chest, lost his breath but was held out only as a precaution after he was concussed in Week 8 in Buffalo, LaFleur explained. Watson has cleared concussion protocol already and will be available for this weekend's game vs. the Cowboys.

Packers WR Romeo Doubs suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Lions, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Doubs is undergoing further testing to get a better idea of how long he'll be out, but Rapoport notes that these tend to be 4-6 week injuries. We're unlikely to see Doubs again until December, so he can be dropped in standard-sized fantasy leagues. Allen Lazard is locked in as Green Bay's #1 WR going forward.

Giants S Xavier McKinney revealed Monday that he suffered a hand injury in an ATV accident during the bye week that will keep him out for "a few weeks." We'll see about the specific return date. Rookie Dane Belton looks likeliest to pick up the playing time in McKinney's absence.

Packers EDGE Rashan Gary tore his right ACL in Sunday's loss to the Lions, an MRI confirmed Monday. That will end his season and leave Green Bay's defense without it's top-performing pass-rusher. Kingsley Enagbare and Jonathan Garvin figure to both get more playing time with Gary out. We'll see about Gary's status heading into 2023, the 5th and final year of his rookie contract.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs drew 17 of the team's 19 carries in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville but gained a just-OK 67 yards (3.9 per rush). He added 3 catches for 20 yards (6.7 per reception) on 3 targets. RBs Brandon Bolden and Zamir White got 1 carry apiece. RB Ameer Abdullah drew 3 targets, catching 1 for 8 yards.

Packers EDGE Rashan Gary left Sunday's loss to the Lions on a cart with a right knee injury. He was seen using crutches after the game, according to Nick Menner of WLUK Fox 11. We'll see about the severity of Gary's injury. he'll be a big loss for the Green Bay defense if he's set to miss further time.

RB AJ Dillon led the Packers in carries at Detroit on Sunday, with Aaron Jones leaving early for an ankle injury. Dillon ran for just 34 yards on his 11 attempts, though, adding 10 yards on 2 catches among 4 targets. Jones left after rushing 9 times for 25 yards and 2-20 receiving. Kylin Hill claimed the only other RB rush in the game. We'll see about Jones' status for next Sunday's matchup with Dallas.

Packers WR Christian Watson left in the 2nd half of Sunday's game vs. the Lions to be checked for a concussion. The rookie was just concussed in last week's loss to Buffalo. Stay tuned for an update.

Packers WR Romeo Doubs suffered an ankle injury on an 18-yard catch on the team's 1st offensive snap of Sunday's game in Detroit. He needed help to get off the field and was carted to the locker room. Doubs is officially questionable to return but seems highly unlikely to do so.

Update: Doubs has been ruled out.

Packers EDGE Preston Smith (shoulder, neck) is active for today's game against the Lions.

Packers WR Christian Watson (concussion) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That gives him a shot to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Lions. We'll update Watson's progress again tomorrow.

Packers rookie LB Quay Walker got ejected in the 2nd quarter of Monday night's game at Buffalo for shoving someone on the Bills' sideline after a play. We'll see whether Walker faces any further discipline.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs ran for just 43 yards on 10 carries in Sunday's shutout loss at New Orleans. Jacobs added 4 targets but caught only 2 for 11 yards on a dreadful offensive day for Las Vegas. QB Derek Carr threw for only 101 yards, with no TDs and 1 INT before giving way to Jarrett Stidham in garbage time. Jacobs also gave way late in the game to RB Ameer Abdullah, who finished with 5 targets (all in the 2nd half). We're not worried about Jacobs off this outing.

Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Bills. We’ll see if the rookie can help get this passing game going, but he’s really only an option in 1-game DFS contests.

Packers EDGE Rashan Gary (concussion) is active for tonight's game against the Bills.
